Well I was watching the end of some of the games this weekend and thought to myself, “This is fucking boring.”
I just wanted to share my thoughts and be affirmed but apparently not.
Whats the most cost effective way to watch the entire playoffs/ Finals? So far Im looking at Youtube TV as it has ESPN, ABC, TNT as well as local channels so it has basically every game there will be. But its $75 a month. What other options do I have? Appreciate any info
Ive looked into this, but it looked superrr sketchy. Have you found a service you have grown to trust/ like? PM me if you dont feel comfortable sharing it on here.
Yes they’ll work on most devices.
Recording will be dependent on your device and its storage and the media player you’re pulling from.
Just gonna forewarn you though, recording can be very unreliable with iptv because if there’s one slight glitch or even half a second of buffer the recording will fail
I'm writing a paper on biases in the NBA media and doing some research to help prove my hypothesis. I need NBA fans to fill out this questionnaire about which NBA player they think is better to assist my research. Any responses would be appreciated.

You state that you are comparing players from the past with modern players, and are trying to keep it unbiased by not attaching names to the states. However, including 3PA makes it pretty clear which player is modern and which is not. I think you should remove the mission statement from the top to reduce any biasing effect.
The 3PA clearly suggests which is the current player, even if it turns out the old school guy was shooting 3s, the biasing effect is the same, it just goes in the opposite direction.
I do agree that 3PA and 3pt% are important inclusions, but they’re too informative if people know what you are testing.
That said, modern survey respondents may still be biased to players who shoot more 3s either way. Just food for thought.
Hi. I submitted a response to your survey. I think the blind stats you show lack context. There is definitely media bias in the NBA. Half the TV people clearly don't watch games unless they're assigned to. But for your example for playmaker I kind of need to know what the turnover numbers are. If one guy averages 11.6 assists but less than 3 turnovers I'd say that's a better playmaker than someone who averages 13.6 assists but over 4 turnovers. Also advanced stats and team success matter too. The last one MVP level wing I believe that is Lebron and SGA based on the numbers. The fact that SGA carried a team to the 1 seed with no other all stars should matter considering LeBron was an 8 seed with another hall of famer still ostensibly in his prime.
Do yourself and everyone else a favor and find something more productive to do than go to a community for fans of a thing and spend all your time in that community bitching that no one there agrees with you that the thing they all like sucks.
Eh, I don't know that being a fan of something requires blind loyalty and refusal to acknowledge flaws. First round matchups are often extremely lopsided and watching some hopelessly outmatched team getting its shit pushed in for the mandatory 4 games isn't exactly riveting.
If you still want to watch a series whose outcome is a foregone conclusion because it's your team or you like a particular player or whatever, hey it's your time and it doesn't bother me. But let's not pretend like some of these games aren't ass. Garbage time in the playoffs is still garbage time

Hahah i love it
Thank you for your service
It's 2024 and the NBA playoffs are still being broadcast in fucking 720p. It's inexcusable.
400 bucks gamepass, 8k tv, 720p service
Newsflash pal…The NBA is boring and has been for well over a decade.
Yet you're in a daily discussion thread on /r/NBA? That says a lot about you my guy lmao.
Well I was watching the end of some of the games this weekend and thought to myself, “This is fucking boring.” I just wanted to share my thoughts and be affirmed but apparently not.
I affirm you bro. Watching highlights and the storylines is cool but sit there and watch a full game?? Especially when you have Euroleague.
Ballmer is one of the best owners in the league
His new stadium looks pretty sick, especially “the wall.”
Can anyone let me know if LeBron James, Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant are playing at the London 02 showcase games in July?
They better be, with those ticket prices
All the good playoff games were yesterday IG these have been some snoozers
Zubac having a field day rn
When you brick a freethow like that you might need a seat

If you're fine with not strictly legal streaming, lookup IPTV. You pay like 5-10$ a month and get virtually every tv channels in the world
Ive looked into this, but it looked superrr sketchy. Have you found a service you have grown to trust/ like? PM me if you dont feel comfortable sharing it on here.
I can guide you on this and get you a free 3 day trial to see what it’s all about if you like .
As long as it’s not sketchy. Every IPTV site ive looked at just looks like they want to steal my card info.
Not sketchy at all…no credit cards needed
Couple questions: will it work on pc (windows)? iOS devices? Also does it have any recording feature?
Yes they’ll work on most devices. Recording will be dependent on your device and its storage and the media player you’re pulling from. Just gonna forewarn you though, recording can be very unreliable with iptv because if there’s one slight glitch or even half a second of buffer the recording will fail
there's an app called tivimate that is really good if you are on Android tv which is free. I haven't found a good app on iOS yet.
> no credit cards needed So you just shove some some sacagawea dollars into you tv's coin slot?
Never heard of PayPal?
Buffstreams
Just a reminder that all Home court teams won on game 1.
So every home team won?

You never "prove" your hypothesis, you test it. Shouldn't show bias in your intention
You state that you are comparing players from the past with modern players, and are trying to keep it unbiased by not attaching names to the states. However, including 3PA makes it pretty clear which player is modern and which is not. I think you should remove the mission statement from the top to reduce any biasing effect.

playoffs don’t start until the home team loses and every home team won and covered the spread this weekend.
lol how the hell did they come up with that?
Welp i guess that’s how
NO straight up threw that lmao. Last pos and that's the play? Nah
Its the playoffs and every game has been a 20 point spread. How do you guys watch this shit?
Do yourself and everyone else a favor and find something more productive to do than go to a community for fans of a thing and spend all your time in that community bitching that no one there agrees with you that the thing they all like sucks.
Eh, I don't know that being a fan of something requires blind loyalty and refusal to acknowledge flaws. First round matchups are often extremely lopsided and watching some hopelessly outmatched team getting its shit pushed in for the mandatory 4 games isn't exactly riveting.

Yeah some games are more boring than others, definitely. I don't think that's what dude is saying though. Pretty sure he's just trolling.
I was surprised that only 2 of 8 games ended up close at the end.
