I for one am not scared of Toronto roster at all. Old Lowry, fairly paid FVV and a struggling Siakam. They are nowhere near as deep as they were two years ago.

So many dudes to see!!

By rule I never really watch pre season games as they never really tell you anything but with the lack of summer league I might tune in for the rookies.

I'll definitely be tuning in to see the board absolutely implode if either Ball goes 1-8 from 3 or 7-8.

I’d like to think there wouldn’t be overreactions based on a rookie’s preseason.

I haven't got the energy to keep arguing and stressing over our moves. I flamed out early.

I can't wait for the season to start and to get back to watching basketball!

Yes sir. Obviously PJ is the favorite, but we will see if Miles has something for him

It's finally clear we see Miles more as a PF as Hayward will get big minutes at SF. Miles is more versatile and makes more sense backing up wing and PF so he's probably going to have to thoroughly outperform PJ. PJ can further cement his case by adding value as a small-ball center.

Either we draft Cade Cunningham or none of this matters.

I will accept no other outcome this season.

I just can’t wait for the season to start.
We had some nba during the playoffs but I just miss so much watching the hornet... it feels like an eternity since I didn’t hear Eric’s fantastic voice and Dell’s.

Fox Sports South has dropped YouTube TV and Hulu. I refuse to pay for cable. Any other ways to watch the games? Maybe a firestick?

The new city jerseys go on sale tomorrow. Guess who's buying an early Christmas gift for himself!

I'm holding out hope that they add it back as the season starts, think that's happened before.

Alternatively, some folks on the GB are plugging a service called hehestreams that I don't really know anything about.

My days of watching games on my laptop are over, and I really don't want porn popping up when im watching the game with my sons. May just get a firestick

You'll still need some type of streaming service with a Firestick. Maybe there are black market apps I don't know about but I've had the best luck just searching for pie on the Silk browser on the Firestick.
