Cvig,

I'll do it with you. Assuming it's set up you pick, I pick, until we're out of teams.

Only 10-20 per team though. We can do it via email since I won't have time to Skype it until maybe late tonight.

Think people are worried about mods getting mad

Hmm, I guess I can't say I'm an expert on any rules but unless someone is completely trying to pimp it out, not really sure why Mods would care.

Deej - ok, cool, I'm very tempted to get it right now but I'm also worried about disappearing into an NBA reality where my actual life goes to complete **. Still though, it's time to NBA and the NBA gods would want me to be watching.

Karma for threatening other teams with the Darius Miles contract.

Horford will have a great year but d12 is gonna be a top 5 stud this year so I would hold onto him


My team is below; h2h 9 category league...I need to trade for a good pg at some point, but I figure that'll be easy in a month when my players' value rises

Kyle Lowry
Jamal Crawford
Michael Carter-Williams
Kiwi Leonard
Bradley Beal
Kobe
Evan Turner
Gordon Hayward
Korver
Horford
Hibbert
Dwight
Nene

3 bench players and the rest play these positions: pg, sg, g, sf, pf, f, c, c, util, util

I can punt on assist category since h2h just gotta win 5/9 categories each week, but I have to play a pg and the first 3 are the only ones that qualify so need to trade

I also am considering dropping someone to pick up Gallo for when he returns or Kelly, but not sure who since my weak players are pg and I need at least one healthy one each week

ballstreams looks pretty good, it'd be nice to stream on ps3 rather than the laptop.

has anyone used it on ps3 before? is it laggy / delayed and can you watch multiple games at once?
10-28-2013 , 01:45 PM
Invest in a HDMI cable
10-28-2013 , 01:52 PM
chillclown derp, i have several, but its more convenient when you just steam via ps3 and can still use the laptop if youd like. or when you dont even have to turn the laptop on to stream.
10-28-2013 , 02:02 PM

league pass on tv? yea thats way better than league pass on the internet.

How long has this ballstreams thing been going on? Can't they get taken down by the NBA (the law) at any moment?

Yes, I have absolutely no experience with paying for such an "unofficial" service.
10-28-2013 , 02:27 PM
Yeah when people say League Pass on here, they generally mean the streaming version (LP Broadband). That's the version that's been pretty crappy over the years hence why people are talking about ballstream.

If you have cable/sat TV, there's absolutely no reason not to get LPTV. (A) You get every game on TV, without having to deal with streaming issues, and (B) the TV subscription includes LPBB and LP Mobile, for the same price as just LPBB.

yeah , the way that they are blatantly out in the open is the only reason i havent subscribed . might switch over later in the season .

Ballstream I guess started at the end of last year (likely as practice for this full season) - the company that runs it has been running a hockey service for many years and it allegedly is excellent.

scherer - it seems for PS3 you have to use it via your laptop or desktop through a media server basically....I have no idea how well/not well that works. Connected laptop directly to TV seems like it'd be better but I really am not sure.

sucks that there isnt a cheaper "tv only" package. i dont really want to spend 189 (almost 220 after taxes and sub fees) when i wont watch it on the pc much, if it all. until they decide to improve it, which you know they havent bc thats something theyd really be putting out there by now.

nba hit us with that free trial to start the season so we get comfortable, and weak people like myself will break and pick up their phones and order.

They've been running an equivalent service for hockey the last six years without issue. They're located in the Netherlands which isn't the most friendly US copyright country on earth.

Really I've done it since I have a planned move coming up with different cable providers and don't want to basically be stuck with LP BB (which is kind of awful) or bullied in to buying twice. Figured I'd give this a shot for a $55 gambolll

Mayo and Sanders cause the starters to whoop the bench imo.
