And yet again, "contractual restrictions" prevent me from watching the game. I am SEVEN hours from Atlanta and they're showing the ATLANTA Braves game on Fox Sports South but NBATV won't show the game because it's 'on" Fox Sports South. EFFED up contract!
Take care with those contracts y'all! Right now you're preventing more people from watching the games. SEVEN hours from Atlanta!!! Some serious overreach. |
I believe it’s because they were on Bally Sports South Extra (because soccer starts right at 5pm ET). I don’t get extra on my cable system so I had to watch it on the app.

Laughing so hard I'm peeing at Tina Charles' statline: 2 pts, 2 rebs,2 TO's, 3 fouls in 14 minutes.
Jantel: 8/3 with 0 turnovers, 0 fouls in 9 minutes.
LOL at anyone who thought that TC getting JL minutes would help this team. So when is TC going to quit this team at only getting 14 minutes? Or only getting off 6 shots (she made ONE shot)? Hello, TC, your role on this team is to come in off the bench and make plays that make the team better. Not to take minutes from a mediocre vet who plays better than you do.
And, FYI, Tina EARNED the "hate hard" from Mystics fans. She outright refused to play post defense on the Mystics team decimated by injury so the Mystics got outscored despite the points she put up. Then she totally trashed the entire roganization, coaches and players on her way out. Mercury's Sophie Cunninghame said it best "F U Tina Charles." She will not get a ring because she does not make the whole team better

Nice to see Cheyenne do well! I figure Pokey might be giving herself a pat on the back since she took a chance by drafting her.
Seems a stretch to honor Bird in Atlanta unless there is a connection I don't know about. I understood it for Fowles in Chi-town because of her long tenure. Maybe it was a way of signaling a sense of forgiveness after what happened.

We honored Fowles pregame in Las Vegas, and will do so with Bird in August. It's done all the time when the greats announce they are retiring.

I have both on cable (though box is fried so I'm streaming).
Should have been able to get the game feed on Xbox. Nope.
Was able to get it on my phone but the quality was horrible.
Was a huge sports south fan before bally.
App was great. Bally is horrible. Crashes my internet connection at least once per game whether dream, atl united or braves. Doesn't happen with any other service.

The coach is the connection - they gave her framed photos of she and Tanisha in game.
And they beat us in the finals.
Maybe as promo to pull bird fans to the game.
But really the coach.

I'm always up for some good hatin', but the notion that hate is "earned" because the player didn't play up to expectations is entitled as fuck.

Great game by my Dream today. Defense really did their thing, especially on the 3 point line. The games where they got down big early, the other teams were just killing it beyond the arc. Holding the Storm to 9-32 was a good start. Plus Stewart was the only player in double figures, another positive.
Parker played with such confidence today, it was great to see. Who knew that 7-12 for 16 points would be "quiet" for Howard but it was such a team effort I was shocked at that scoreline.
Having a mostly full team (just Coffey still out) has been great for them. This is the team we saw at the beginning of the season that started out hot. Now that Hayes is back, that gives them more scoring and leadership. Do I think they will win it all? Not yet, but this is a team that will cause others problems. Can't wait to see where they go from here.

Hand out posters of the enemy every game if this is the on-court result

I think every franchise is honoring both players (which I imagine will make Seattle’s last game at Minnesota especially epic, since it’s also Minnesota’s last game at Minnesota, unless the Lynx did something for Bird at their other matchup in Minny). I know New York did, and took it to extremes with Bird.
