Go Thunder. They should sure be fun to watch this year and I hope Russ does many cool Russ things. Hopefully Dipo also does cool things.

Thinking about getting League Pass for OKC this year, anyone use it and have an opinion on it?

I've never purchased one of the league pass things because I have cable and there's usually enough games on that sates my basketball bloodlust. The downside is that you have to watch a lot of Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, and LA Lakers games because of population demographics and not because of good basketball.

Usually OKC had plenty of games on cable because of Durant but I'm afraid after losing him they won't get as much coverage.

I used single team League Pass for the Pistons last year and had no problems with it. Re-upped again this year.

Good enough for me. Thanks.

Edit: I'm in ND so the only FS games I get are the TWolves games.

I enjoy all forms of basketball and hope to see you all in the college thread as well because basketball is better when you examine it as a whole.

I likely won't post there but I'm optimistic for FSU this year and they should be pretty fun to watch. Isaac and Bacon should be enough to get them to the big dance this year.

I like this thread. It's a fresh change from the football threads where everyone is miserable and hates life. NBA is fun and cool and good.

Nice win for OKC. It wasn't pretty but about as expected. Russ was one assist from a triple double. Dipo kinda sucked.

Embiid is going to be a monster, which is good because he's a cool dude.

Came here to ask how Rudy Gay would fit in OKC and you guys already have it broke down. NBA thread is the best. Thanks guys.

Also, I'd imagine they'd have to give up either a Sabonis or Payne and picks, which they don't seem to have a lot of at this point.

russ just had a 17 point 18 rebound 17 assist game but you want to hear a stat that will really blow your mind roberson outscored him with 19 points

I wish I could've watched that game. Following it on Twitter it sounded amazing. Taj and Doug getting huge ovations when they checked in. Roberson was like 8 for 9 and 3 for 3 on 3's. Amazing.

To ask whether dipo is going to be worth 20 mil a year is difficult to answer because the cap climate still hasn't been normalized. He's inconsistent which I don't know if he can change that but he does bring good qualities that I think will shine more next year by virtue of continuity.

E: I should probably specify the good qualities. He's a good catch and shooter, fantastic in transition, when aggressive (he's not always aggressive sadly) he's good at attacking the rim.

He's so frustrating because he misses more easy layups than anyone ever.

Patrick Ewing was my favorite player growing up, and I wore #33 on every sports team I've ever played for because of him. Hell tonight I'm playing softball as a 30 year old man and my jersey still has #33 on it.

Same. To all of this, except #20, for Gary Payton.
