    ESPN Standalone Service

    I know the Suns offer a service for their games but I'm pretty sure Ch 3 offers more than the Suns now so ultimately it wouldn't be worth it for you. I'm surprised over the air channels don't offer a cheap or free streaming feed as that would get more eyes on them.

    ESPN Standalone Service

    Being in Tempe I can pick up all the local channels with an antenna easily. Now that Suns games are on Channel 3 I don't need cable. I know I'd need to find ways to watch a dozen games or so a year but I may subscribe to this because I miss Sportscenter. One thing I've noticed since I ditched...

    ESPN Standalone Service

    ESPN is launching a direct to consumer streaming service. This will definitely hurt any hold over customers with Satellite and/or Cable as sports seemed to be the last thing people kept it for. It will be $29.99 a month and can be bundled with Hulu & Disney+...

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    That's fair but that also isn't what you said initially. There's certainly a good sized portion who want him, @Proximo being one, but that's different than hoping it works if we get him. I don't see anyone rooting against him as a player but that's different than rooting against acquiring him. I...

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    No one sees a fit? We're on page 8 and about half the people here see the fit. That isn't exclusive to this site either as half the fan base seems to want Kuminga. That doesn't mean it will happen but there is definitely a portion who wants him. Kuminga wanting to be here doesn't mean the Suns...

    Yeah I think they're playing their last card and calling everyone's bluff. I think the Kings end up with Kuminga and the Warriors get their asking price.

    The 2025 NBA Off Season (includes free agency)

    Now that's crazy talk, sir. :doi: I'm against paying someone to go away. Especially when they're getting twice the MLE. Maybe it does make more sense in 2-3 years. I know expiring deals don't hold much value as guys like Ayton are being bought out. So there's definitely the possibility it...

    The 2025 NBA Off Season (includes free agency)

    This is why the hand wringing over Booker's extension was premature. He was merely the first to sign an exorbitant deal. He won't have a top 5 salary when the extension has actually kicked in.

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    The more I think of trading for Kuminga the more it appears to be a lateral move at best. I don't see his deal being good in 2-3 years, definitely not 4, and would rather wait to see what else becomes available.

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    My Instagram algorithm was jacked up for a while but ever since I started blocking accounts instead of ignoring them it's gotten better. It sucks how spread out social media is now. Twitter has news, Insta is celebrities/athletes, and Facebook is hell. What's posted on Insta can easily be posted...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    That's fair. If you follow guys on Instagram most post highlights and clips of pickup games. I know Book does.

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Bol Bol didn't improve here. He was essentially the same guy he was when he signed. Bol² did say KD was his favorite player growing up but that didn't seem to help him improve his game. Durant played a lot of pickup BB but I don't think it helped anyone improve. It didn't build chemistry...

    Gilbert Arenas arrested on charges of illegal poker games

    I could be wrong but I think the issue is opening it to more than friends is where the legality becomes an issue. A private game is one thing but allowing strangers in is where the legal issues arise. In this case it looks like Arenas wasn't the target but is roped in as the owner of the...

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    I think we were on the down swing before Ishbia came in as the Crowder stuff had been going on and became untenable. JJ was slightly better than McD and definitely an improvement over the Blanks/Babby pairing but those aren't high bars to clear. I'd trust almost everyone on this board over...

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    I wouldn't say he shouldn't be a starter but he definitely doesn't deserve $25+ million annually or to be a 2nd or 3rd option. As a 4th or 5th guy in the pecking order, cool. He wants more than he's proven to be worth so ultimately it's a risky move to bring him in because he could be a bad...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Late September would be my guess. So almost 2 months of nothing.

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    I think comparing Kuminga to Grant is fair. Jerami left a winning situation in Denver to be the man in Detroit where he put up stats but didn't help them win. Denver was willing to pay him a fair amount but Grant wanted a bigger role and more money. Kuminga is in a similar spot now. He hasn't...

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    I wish the Suns held firm and waited until the summer to make a move. Then we could have replaced CP3 with Dame and kept chugging along. Dame and Booker would have been as potent as CP3 and Booker if not more so. Lillard was a dynamic scoring threat who would have allowed Booker to be open more...

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    I think JJ was already fixated on KD and no Crowder move changes that. The Hachimura deal would have been nice and provided some forward depth either with or without the KD trade. Saric could have been used in place of KD since he was on a similar sized deal and was gifted to OKC for some bust...

    I'd rather we shift our focus than continue pursuing Kuminga. I hope he becomes a King soon.

    Home theater equipment

    The calibration was my main thinking with professional installation. I was blown away when I got my first tv professionally calibrated and made me wish I did it sooner. I'm fairly tech savvy but as I grow older and tech gets newer I don't have the patience to bridge the gap. Being a native...

    Home theater equipment

    To bring the convo here, @Devilmaycare you mentioned having a projection setup and I'm curious of your take. I've seen some that look good but ultimately would you say you need to get a professional installation done to get your monies worth? If so, how does that compare to mid to top line tv...

    Christopher Nolan’s movies being re-released in theaters. In August.

    Interstellar is fantastic, to get back on topic, and if you haven't seen it yet @Ronin then go out of your way to see it in theaters. That's probably the best Nolan movie of that bunch, IMO. Too bad Memento isn't amongst the group.

    Closed captioning is your friend. My dad used to utilize that all the time so I became accustomed to it at an early age. Now I struggle to watch TV without it. I'm about 7 feet from mine and felt that way before I went from 65" HD 1080 to 71" 4k. The upgrade in quality makes it a bit more...

    I have a 71" now but it doesn't much different to the 65" I had before. What size screen do you have? I understand audio plays a big role but you mentioned screen size and I thini 60" is good for most living room setups.
