These streaming rights deals are tough. It’s almost impossible to watch Nets games in Brooklyn without cable. I refuse to pay twenty bucks to Yes network to stream one game lol

For a little bit it was perfect with YouTubeTV for the national games + NBALP for everything else all within one app/multiview. Now it's just a mess of app hopping.

Local blackout rules have always been the constant annoyance though, who knows when that'll be gone for good.

Home opener for Spurs and you have Wemby on the team and yet so many empty seats. Early hours, is that the reason?

Bismack bringing the business.

I am watching Nets stream, and I think they mispronounces their own coaches name. He is Jordi Fernández, he is Spanish, right, and J sounds like H in spanish, so isn;t pronounced like Hordi?

[UcanUwill]

Man, I thought Spurs signed MCW, but it is their rookie Bryant. They look alike...

It would be pronounced more like "Yordi" in Spanish.

[Mavrelous]

Wemby, Carter-Bryant and Castle combo is terror on defense.

[scrabbarista]

This game may end up non-competitive, through no fault of the Nets, who've put in a good effort so far. The gap may just be that big.

Would it? It would be pronounced like that in a lot of languages, since thats how J is pronounced in many languages. but Spanish are unique in their J pronunciation. Thats why Spanish always type jajaja (hahaha) instead of lol. Letter J is not in Latin alphabet if I remember correctly, thats why languages do not agree how to pronounce it.

Anyhow, they pronounce it wrong, aren't people just do not bother to correct the americans? It is not a hard name.

Spanish is a simple language, but has an insane amount of regional variation. Almost anything you say about it that's true is probably also not true somewhere.
