I cut cable and I am adding the Youtube TV free trial to catch all the scrimmages. I'll probably stick with it, as even though it went up to $65 a month, if you add multiple TVs and cloud storage to Hulu, their $45 starting price goes up to the same price as Youtube, and Youtube TV has more channels.

Wow, Youtube TV went up that far?
It started at $35/mo. I got in at the $40 rate. I had it for a year and a half. If the price is comparable, then I recommend it.

I ended up going back to Comcast; just to have the physical TV options.

When the Celtics are not playing, I will just cancel Youtube and go back to what I've been doing since cutting the cord: I get about 25 local tv channels via over the air antenna, and the rest I watch movies and tv through free Roku apps like Pluto TV and Tubi. There's an endless supply of free things to watch. Only thing I'll miss is not being able to record anything.

Tubi is awesome. Unfortunately, as of one or two updates ago, you can no longer skip thru commercials (by pressing the back button followed by 'resume'). It is still my go to for movies lately.

Sling has the best deal for sporting events, but they don't offer regional sports networks, which is a deal breaker if you are after CSNE.

I just use stream2watch. I canceled cable about a year ago and focus only my ps4. Which you can't stream so I use my phone and link it the tv. I also use tubi and vudu and Disney + or my nightly movie. Internet is 50 a month the rest is free. I got Disney + only not the sports for a year for free.
Hopefully I'll get NFL network if they play and I've decided not to purchase the NBA plan. But Ifor I can't watch the games I'll follow the realgm feed for info. And then just go to a friends for games.
I voted we win all of them by the by

Anyone watching this Lakers scrimmage?

Lebron has embraced the old man look. Got the gray in his beard and the bald spot going extra big.

He looks like a monster though lol

Speaking of hair, are there barbers in the bubble? If not, the teams that make it to the finals will be looking like cavemen out there.

Yes they have everything they would have outside the bubble. Probably safer too because of all the precautions

There’s a Celtics game today.

Post #37 » by **Froob** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 11:32 am

Is this on NBC Boston?

Floody100 · Post #38 » by **Floody100** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:19 pm

Considering our starters will only play 15-20 minutes I’m really looking forward to too see how our bench goes especially our rooks.

I wanna see a heavy dose of Hayward-Timelord or Smart-Timelord PnRs. And I wanna see Grant used more in that Draymond Green passing spot near the FT line on the short roll, either lobbing to Timelord or passing out to open shooters. Run a couple of plays for Langford too as he catches the ball off the curl and attacks the basket.

Also, practice making the next right read whenever they blitz Tatum not just JT but the rest of the team whenever they get the ball.

Have fun, guys! We got some type of basketball back!! Go Cs!

Props to the NBA for making it happen! Go C's..... looking fwd to seeing how this all plays out. Going to need the timelord or another BIG to step it up to really have a chance out of the East!
