Hipster alert, code red!

I had no idea we had 15 TOs, and actually had more than the Sixers did. I was wondering where all our TOs came from, because it seemed like we played a clean game...Lopez with 4 TOs in 23 minutes, and Taylor with 3 TOs in 4 minutes ( ).

Lopez I get, he's never been particularly good at taking care of the ball, especially this season with the way he brings the ball down in traffic, but he was still contributing positively.

Taylor though, lol, 3 TOs in 4 minutes? That's hilariously bad. That would be 27 TOs per 36 minutes

Taylor has some skills and some good athleticism but he's really bad at doing very basic PG things. He's probably at least a year away from being a solid reliable back up.

well, of those 4 turnovers, 1 was an offensive foul, 1 was an offensive foul, and 1 was a travel. Not great, but also not due to bad decision with the ball/passing

It is thee reason I got rid of League Pass about 4 years ago. It's pretty obnoxious.

well, living just outside boston its really my only option to watch nets games.

I was SUPER excited when i saw fios was available in my area, carrying the YES network. i instantly made the switch. unfortunetly, i had a very rude awakening when i later found out i get the national YES feed for which yankees and nets games are not shown, because im not in the NY area.

SMH. how hard is it to just let me watch the nets? instead of paying an exta 5 bucks a month for the sports tier with YES, i now pay like 360 bucks combined for MLB/NBA packages to watch the ents and aynkees. awful

Wait, what? YES Network outside this area doesn't get Yankees and Nets games?

Damn, I always thought that when I move out of state I'll just get YES Network and things will be great, but nope.

Yea it sucks donkey balls.

There is a "local" YES feed and a "national" YES feed. the national feed is the exact same schedule and programming, except during yankees and nets games it just cuts to a repeat of the most recent mike francessa show. the pre/post games are still aired.

needless to say, i was very unhapy with this and placed a pretty angry call to customer service, who assured me i would get nets games. they did send me a 300$ visa gift card whiwch was nice and uncessary of them which i used to get the NBA package.

here is the wiki entry that talks about it:

YES has a national feed of the network. This feed does not feature live games, but does include both the pre and post game shows. Alternate programming is shown during games. Verizon FiOS (regionally) and Bright House Networks[8] (Tampa Bay and Orlando systems) are currently two of the cable providers that carry YES outside of the New York DMA. This feed is different than that of the satellite feed available on DirecTV in which Yankees and/or Nets games can be viewed outside of the teams' markets with a subscription to MLB Extra Innings and / or NBA League Pass.
