Your team has the second highest payroll in the NBA and you mad the Jazz being picked ahead of yall, even after they lost Hayward

Ya frontcourt got like $50 million tied up in bums and yall still paying a dude who is on another team

Based on your current location, you are unable to view live nationally broadcast games or live locally broadcast Cleveland Cavaliers games.



How am I going to get around this nonsense in a legal way?

What's more frustrating is that I should really be blocked from watching the pacers since they are closer to me than Cleveland

Timeout...this shyt got OKC at 50 wins??

Nate is using an Elo Rating System based on chess ratings. They're taking everyone's ratings from last season and regressing them to the mean (so it's not really accounting for the loss of Durant).....this is also mixed with their Carmelo rating system (that's the name of the model) which ranks players. As far as Elo is concerned, this is a similar to the same team who lost 3-1 to the Warriors, with their rating regressed to the mean and it should account for it over time. Also his Carmelo system has Westbrook ranked pretty high (MVP candidate) so I'm assuming the system feels like RWB is going to carry them to 50 wins based on their priors.

That's weird I legit think they just go by states rather than distance...But here in Texas I get the Spurs games but not the Mavs and I'm clearly closer to dallas

Low key...

It still looks awful. It's like he actively WANTS to block his vision to the basket while he is getting ready.

That shyt makes no sense. He will never be a good shooter in the NBA.
