The issue isn't hounding Klay Thompson, the Warriors had just run a play to get him a shot right before this inbound.
The mistake was made by Zaire Williams. Why was he positioned on Poole's side? If he was between Poole and the basket like he should've been, that play doesn't happen.

Ws game was kinda crazy. Curry got ejected for throwing his mouthpiece because he was pissed at Poole taking a bad shot. Curry's been tossed 3 times in his career, all mouthpiece related.
But it's ok...they're friends again

^ As for that scoring chart: Wow, DeMar has passed KD as Mr. Mid-range. Also, look at Bridges there on the right corner 3! LOL @ them including ranges far behind the line for guys like Steph and Trae.

It’s probably total points and that’s why Derozan is passing KD with KD hurt

What annoys me even more than the entry pass being a lost art is the baseball pass being a lost art. Teams literally give up with a second left and no timeouts, instead of executing a long baseball pass to at least try to get a decent shot.

Agreed. Why even bother throwing a short pass in that situation. Give yourselves a chance.

BALLY SPORTS OWNER NEARING BANKRUPTCY; LOCAL DEALS WITH SPORTS LEAGUES COULD BE IMPACTED
https://www.outkick.com/bally-sports-ow ... -impacted/
The owner of the Bally Sports network is heading towards bankruptcy, with major implications for local sports networks.
Diamond Sports Group is currently negotiating with creditors and sports leagues as its financial situation deteriorates.
According to Bloomberg, the largest owner of local sports networks is heading towards a massive “$8.6 billion debt restructuring,” and betting on a “new direct-to-consumer streaming service.”

The thing I don’t get about Bally is they limit who can watch games on their network. 2 years ago I bumped up to Hulu live to watch the games. This year I had to keep Cox cable to watch games or not watch them. Don’t they charge advertisers by viewership? If so, why don’t they let anybody that wants to watch their feeds for free and charge more for advertising?

Bally is under Sinclair Broadcast Group which is a POS company from a consumer perspective. They ignorantly tried to conduct their business under a model that is no longer viable.

$20 per month just for their worthless streaming app is idiocy. Should be able to just buy a Suns pass locally for the season at like $100.
By the time I add up YouTube TV + Bally streaming + NFL Redzone, might as well just keep my Cox service

Could you use a VPN and just get LP for 99 bucks?

Dumb that it’s easier and cheaper to watch games if you’re out of market, but it works for me, so I’m happy.

Probably if you’re smarter than me

Depends on the VPN. I can’t view games using PIA because the NBA has most if not all of their IPs blocked.

Same. LP is great this year. My son complains we can’t watch Blazers though.

Ya..I’m really hoping the nba just goes away from regional sports networks and just starts broadcasting everything on league pass. Offer a feature to get the nationally broadcast games too. I pay for YouTube tv almost exclusively for TNT/ESPN basketball games. So if I’m paying $99 a year for league pass and 65 a month for yttv(really 22 because I split with 2 other people), I’m really paying like $300 a year for basketball. If you count 8-9 months of YouTube tv fees. So give me an option for $250 a year on league pass which would include TNT/ESPN games and I’d jump at it. I’m sure I’d go even higher. If the league is only getting $100 now, wouldn’t TNT/ESPN be fine getting 75-100 each per person as well? Seems fair
