Yeah, it almost has me debating the full package, but I don't know if I can justify it. Wish ballstreams would have worked, I tried it but too slow unfortunately, so may just pony up 120 for it or try to talk comcast down.


Just download the streams directly from their servers. DownloadHelper lets you do that. No buffering since they're directly on your HDD.

I ended up figuring it out (sorta). Gonna split it w/ a guy from work, since I only watch on TV and he only watches online. We were each looking into the 1 team pack but for different teams, so we're gonna split the full package and it will only be 100 in the end anyway, but thanks for the advice :D!

All the positive talk about the offense is getting me really excited. Russ talking about extra space, Donovan about guys picking it up quickly, KD saying it feels like the team is refreshed. So excited.

camp talk doesn't get me all that excited. there are a few donovan soundbites that have been interesting, but everything tends to be positive coming out of camp. new offense, new defense, new players, new roles. i haven't seen any reporting from the thunder on the possibility that anything could get worse with the coaching and roster changes -- so i'm leery about trusting all the positives being slung around willy-nilly.

Donovan's going a bit overboard on Russ right now. Almost like he is trying to get Russ to like him.

I think Donovan should be good for the franchise but we need to see how it goes for November December before he gets a pass Mark. Let's not forget a chimp could coach this lineup to the playoffs

That 'lot of them is not as good as me' line :lol:
Russell Westbrook quickest NBA player on and off the court.

We knew this would be the case, Donovan runs a system that takes advantage of the positions OKC is strongest at already and actually fairly close to what they already ran with horns and pickle rolls being the dominate sets.

Im very curious about what we are doing with the 2 spot. If Donovan didnt adjust his system then Waiters and Roberson would be the majority minute holders. If he did slight adjustments, which it kind of seems like they might be going in that direction given the Cam draft, Westbrook might be spending half his minutes at the 2.

I haven't heard anything of this, I mean he's been complimentary but no moreso than anyone else.

Best mix I've seen for the Thunder this off-season IMO,, per reddit:

Can't wait to see Payne play. Wonder if we play any small ball this year?

I have a new avatar and am hyped for this season. Hopefully. I'll be at the first preseason game. I really believe that we have one of the best pure offensive lineups in the league wim serge, kd, Russell, morrow and ends are on the floor. I would probally start Roberson and Adams though and have that be the main group and the morrow-lantern lineup be used for certain situations

So according to the Anthony Slater tweets about scrimmage Roberson will be starting SG and Adams starting center even though currently injured
