Jazz players at the World Cup

LOL! I would pay to see what you guys would have said during the Stockton/Malone era.

"Stockton isn't quick enough to play point guard"

"Stockton is too short for his position"

"Malone plays no defense"

"Malone fades during crunch time"

So ****ing negative all the time, it gets annoying.
 
Aussies will lose all their games. Calling it.

Every player on their team is sub-par to awful on defense. Not even sure there is an above average athlete on the opposing team, but they are getting to the rack or getting open shots at will.

Considering they just beat Finland 100-95, this is a great prediction.
 
The Jazz are going to play him 20 minutes a night at the very least. Not like we are trying to win anything. What good would it do to let him rot on the bench in a year clearly set up for development?
 
The site is definitely concerned about the potential of legal punishment if we promote or allow others to promote illegal streams. It would very likely only take a single lawsuit against the site to make us close up business--it's not like we're a company with large financial resources. So, while it's probably a very low probability event, it's a risk/reward type of thing for us and we've had a policy against illegal streams for a long time now.

As for my personal viewpoint about copyrighted material I take the stance that if it's available for purchase, then the ethical thing to do it purchase it. If something is not available for purchase, however, then I'm much more agnostic.

Do you think the marketing and pricing system actors have their own share of responsibility for this alongside the exploiters of the copyrighted product? Can we question the income average, employement problems etc. for piracy as well? Or are those only excuses to justify these actions or decrease the guilt level of them?


To me, the piracy is just unstoppable. And I think thought, art and those kinds of things do need to be freeware. Because society is not build on acquiring everything to everyone and these things are like water, the most essential need, which is also a meta. There should be some other way to stop the exploitation rather than sueing sites that literally has no part in anything. They don't have to be on pirate's side to search for a new solution, approach to this. Pragmatically speaking from their side, they could find another way to add the pirate side to the profit system and protect the copyright owner out of exploitation's harm's way. There already is the great benefit of keeping the popularity up of the product's main area and the product itself, but I'm not getting there since I'm thinking in the shoes of the prosecutor. I find this necessary, because I don't know about your environment, but some products led by video games, sports broadcasts and certain book series are really pain in the wallet or simply impossible for some income groups here in Turkey. So I find the piracy a little balancing for the extreme difference of different socio-economical layers.

They did step up their defensive intensity on the perimeter and made some big 3's. It was a nice comeback for them.

From what I saw though, 0 NBA talent on the team compared to Australia who has rotation NBA players and former/current fringe NBA players.

The price is a part of it.

For example, NBA League Pass is stupidly overpriced. You get sub-par quality and blacked-out games and you have to pay out the *** for all 30 teams. Even buying the 5 team package is stupid expensive when I'm going to get all games vs. the Pelicans, Grizzlies, Hawks, and nationally televised games blacked out. No way in hell I'm paying that $$$ amount because it just isn't reasonable.

For a while I just streamed games, but I got tired of the unreliable quality and availability. I found a site called Ballstreams, which is quasi-legal (if the site was based in America, it would be shutdown/sued/over). They operate in a foreign country and provide an entire year of service for $60. No blackouts or anything and better quality streams than NBA LP.

If LP could offer a similar service (no blackouts, better quality) for $100, I would probably go with LP even though it would cost $40 more. LP is a piece of **** though and I'm never buying it again doe.

I'm leaning towards there too. I mean the sites alike Ballstreams. Last few years, I kept telling myself I won't purchase LP but I have found myself being done that again and again. I guess this is another way of pushing the product owner to better quality, a quality level that is totally earned by the purchaser. So this looks like the route to go both rationally, pragmatically and morally. ECTYA offered me one before. I'm gonna check this thing out before the next one.

France vs Croatia is on. Tomic starts for Croatia, Gobert is on the bench for France... First pts for Croatia - awesome behind the back pass by Tomic and finish after he got the ball back.
 
What was Exum's final stat line (including turnovers)?

This is MY statline, thus take it with a ton of salt, cause it's not official: 6 assists, 2 pts(1/5 shooting, 0/2 from 3), 3 steals, 2 rebounds, 0 or 1 turnovers(not sure about this one). He was about to turn it over twice but it ended up in Australia's possession...
