No game thread yet??

It's finally game day I'm so excited! This is the first time in so many years where there is actually hope with this team!

Been out of the loop, but how are y'all watching the game?

I don't have cable and looks like they got rid of the free antenna access that I spent so much time setting up last year, so is my only option to pay $20/mo to watch on their app? Will that have DVR/replay capability, available right after the game ends?

Is this team even worth $20/mo? :D

Yes, I could always sail the high seas, but kinda don't feel like doing all that extra hassle lol.

Great to see a GT!

Hope to see the pace continue and a defensive edge.

Buz dunking on Mobley would be fun too.

Preseason game - Listed to be on Peacock or Fubo, if you have either of those. I'm out of Chicago area so hoping it'll be on ESPN+

I'm begrudgingly splitting the cost of the app with my brother. Hopefully they allow simultaneous viewing from two different devices in two different locations, but knowing Jerry it's not a given. I'm going to cancel as soon as the season ends.

It's infuriating about them doing away with the antennas after I spent so much time and effort setting them up on multiple TVs in multiple households.

I got lucky and was able to get International league pass from my motherland :P but there are shady iptv services for real cheap ($5-30)/year that got everything on them. so I use both.

Ironically the IPTV quality is like 10x better than casting from the NBA app

Bruh I thought I was alone :lol:

I don't know if there is "hope" with this team, but I really hope to see Matas and Giddey develop.

Hope as in there is an unknown which has a possibility of turning out well.

Ever since Lonzo went down each season has been rinse and repeat running into a brick wall with a small "playin" sized hole we can never break through and before that it was the Zach Lavine trying to foolishly running the team into a wall for half a decade.

It's been since the summer of 2018 I have felt this way. 7 looong years of frustrated fandom

Just play the starters sparingly and get into the regular season as healthy as possible. I'm excited for the new season but it's almost all just due to Matas having a chance to be a special player. If he can step up into a Franz like ascension with better shooting we're in business.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

That antenna crap was such a nightmare, bought & returned 5 antennas trying to find one. Then spent hours moving the damn thing all over the house with an app to measure signal. Spent $180 on it too ($100 box, $20 antenna, $50 HD). The placement had to be in a specific window with cables running to the TV right through the middle of the home theater room which looked like crap, so had to take it down after every game and set it all back up every game. What a nightmare.

This is why HD Antenna will never work. If my wife has to spend more than 15 seconds to watch something she's on tapping netflix or amazon instead.

I'll pay the $20/month for 5 months this time.

Bulls are finally back!!!...... and I'll be unable to watch.

Might catch a little of the beginning, hopefully Peacock allows replays.

Starved for some basketball content

Peacock is the new NBC thing. ESPN will not broadcast it

Seems like AI generated text so at least no human had to subject themselves to writing about Nikola Vucevic.
