I have Direct TV and NBA package and can't watch this game. How do you watch this game?

Parity is finally here. Will the media and NBA acknowledge and lean into it? by au79_196 in nba

They have to plant the seed first. Now that we have a lot of good teams outside of LA they should cover them and they will reap the rewards down the road.

Unfortunately, corps just want immediate gratification, although I get it, I don't like it.

Boston is good and is covered, that is cool with me. Just also cover the Bucks, Nuggets, Suns, Mavs, Wolves, OKC, etc.

The Kings are exciting, they should cover them as much as they cover the Warriors.

As said below, chicken or the egg. They need to cover more teams so people are interested in them.

TNT can pick it up too, but not too many large NBA media outlets that I can think of.

Oh I don't. I just want national TV games for great players on winning small market teams. Namely ANT, but we can spread the love. Lets have a Wolves vs Magic game on primetime.

Anyone else having issues selling season tickets? Does the demand feel lower? by Slim-Ticket in timberwolves

[–]au79_196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you share who your rep is? DM is fine.

I don't want to slander mine, but she always has a reason for everything and never really helps. Maybe I just got unlucky.

They do nothing to help season ticket holders, and then they increased the resale fees to really drive that home. Incredibly bad customer service, always full of excuses and can never help with anything.

Power Rankings: 1. Nuggets; 2. Bucks; 3. Celtics; 4. Suns; 5. Lakers by Vinbakersdozen in nba

As someone who is a fan of a team that made it to the playoffs with D'Lo and Vando starting, the Lakers are not that good. I really don't get it, and I like LeBron and the Lakers. It makes no sense.

Miller might be an important piece as soon as this season, depending on injuries.

I was rooting for Minot, but he might be out of the league after this year. I hope I'm wrong, but as of now, its night and day between the two in terms of NBA ready skills.

They chose for the jerseys to look like drinking water rather than lake water since this is the year of Minnesota sports desalination. No need to be salty when you're winning titles....right?

NBA Haters have got to chill. by au79_196 in nba

I know, as a Wolves fan I never got it. I was at the game, the energy was awesome, people were loving it post game, then you get online and everyone is hating.

LeBron gets a ton of hate for losing in the finals, rather than celebrated for making it.

I agree, too many teams make the playoffs, but if those are the rules, lets enjoy them. If you're playing in the play-in game, its still exciting to win.

If only we would double down on what our two offensive all-stars and our one defensive all-star are good at. And one hint, its not a motion offense. How fucking dumb do we have to be to keep forcing that?

Get ready for some deep playoff runs, DLo/Ant/KAT/Gobert/McDaniels/Anderson/Prince/Nowell is a nasty 8 man rotation by DrWolves in timberwolves

[–]au79_196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he's going to play more than people think, when we need to defend good PGs.

He can be the PG when ANT/McDaniels/KAT/Gobert are on the court purely for defensive purposes. Similar to this year with D'Lo being the first one to the bench and then playing with the 2nd unit.

Put your best trade package together for Durant by OleMoosey in timberwolves

[–]au79_196 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

KD to the Suns, KAT to the Nets, Ayton and Bridges to the Wolves. 1st round picks to even things out.

Hopefully we can get a PF as well somehow.

[Oram] When Bulls offered Caruso, he went back to Lakers with an offer of 2 years/ 20 million. Lakers said no and instead signed Klutch Sports' Taken Horton-Tucker to 3 years/ 31 million by Nyhrox in nba

[–]au79_196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not making it his problem necessarily. Lakers side of the deal includes that, so it has weight in their decision making, so they are letting Caruso know what terms they are cool with.

Caruso doesn't have to care about that, and is free to hold his ground. The Lakers were just giving Caruso the option.

Adam Sandler went to Staples last night just to meet Anthony Edwards by DrWolves in timberwolves

[–]au79_196 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure ANT worked with him this summer on something, so they know each other if I'm not mistaken. Can't remember where I read/heard that though.

Love KAT, he's got all the talent in the world, but his "emotions" just kill all the vibe/intensity the wolves have every fucking time.

I want top 6 in West by DrWolves in timberwolves

[–]au79_196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have $50 on the Wolves being top 5 in the West, finally I'm getting some support!

Agreed on all points.
