Almost. There.

[ncrizzle]

any others planned for tv?

[ImKobe]

My body is ready.

[insidious301]

Do you know which stations they will be televised on? I need some type of basketball fix. Don't get me wrong, I like going down memory lane and talking basketball from an historical perspective. The back and forths on where players rank can be thought provoking. Watching live basketball however is premium.

I can't say with certainty but after looking at the schedule myself, it looks like they'll be broadcasted on NBA TV. If anyone is interested. There will be multiple teams, as in 4, scrimmaging at the same and in the same arena. Interesting.

[Kblaze8855]

Yea the first day is nba tv but they will be on ESPN and tnt too as the week goes on I think.

[Hey Yo]

I checked nba TV schedule on Wed. on my TV and it's not listed to view.

Not saying it cant change ..... just saying

[Kblaze8855]

They had a release yesterday saying all 33 scrimmages will be televised somehow. Local, ESPN, tnt, and nba tv. Every game is supposed to be on tv but they have not worked out the details. ESPN got to the point of Korean baseball in prime time. Bet your ass they want nba scrimmages.

Okay thanks. That is going to be weird seeing scrimmages on TNT. We've seen preseason games before but never practices or scrimmages. We're in a weird time though so I'm not complaining.

Since it's preseason what other station would it be on besides NBATV?

[dbugz]

battle of the scrubs (covid edition)

[Manny98]

Finally, Nets basketball :hammertime:

[Hey Yo]

All 4gms are on NBATV today starting at 3pm.

[Wally450]

Thanks. Was just about to ask where they're being televised. :cheers:

[tpols]

is there a stream somewhere?

[Levity]

Boys, we made it!

[insidehoops]

There will be 16 scrimmages televised on NBA TV.

The other scrimmages will be on NBA League Pass.

Here's the daily NBATV scrimmage schedule:

Clippers are playing at 3PM eastern time. First game of the day and we get to see a contender. Should be good.

Not really. No Beverley, no Harrell, no Shamet. Also rumors that Kawhi or PG will sit. So basically we are going to get a look at Joakim Noah. That's all I'm looking forward to. Seeing if another former DPOY guy at 35 years old can recapture his mojo like Dwight did. I will say Noah looks insanely fit right now. Easily the lowest bodyfat on the team right now. He looks 240-250 lbs with 4-5% bodyfat.

Rumors that Geoge and Kawhi will sit? You would think after all that time off they'd get some burn. Lame. Having basketball back is premium though. Noah probably isn't at 4-5% bodyfat btw. Most bodybuilders don't even get to that percentage, and if they do its for a show. Who reported that, Clipper Darrell?

No there is talk one of them could sit. I agree lame. BTW looks like Kawhi is a go. He's warming up now and going through shoot around. As for Noah... I know man. You should see some of his pics from practice right now. Perfectly defined 8 pack+ super veiny arms/chest/neck. I'm telling you he's sub 5%. I've never been below the 10-12% range but I used to measure BF constantly and have a decent eye for it. He's not 3% like Bruce Lee, but I have a strong feeling he's around 5%. Maybe it's 5-7% though. He's stupid defined.

[insidious301]

I have a good eye for it too, and it is extremely unlikley Noah is sub 5%.


“A body-fat percentage below 5% is regarded as a warning sign of poor health, even in elite athletes. Male bodybuilders typically go below 5% for competition, but don’t stay there in the off-season.” That’s because body fat is integral to keeping your entire body—including your cardiovascular, endocrine, reproductive, skeletal, and central nervous systems—in check. Without enough body fat, they all go haywire.

NBA lies about bf% all the freaking time. They're not in the bodybuilding industry and should stop pretending to be. With all of that being said, good luck to your Clippers.

I tried to edit my contradictory post. I tried to remove the sub 5% thing. Maybe I'm missing it and he's more in the 5-7% or even 8% range. He's definitely nowhere near 10%. Most guys around 10% will have a 6 pack, but not a shredded 8 pack with so many veins in the arms, neck, chest etc.

[D-Wait]

All 4gms are on NBATV today starting at 3pm.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Noah needs to keep the starting job over Zubac, he's still a better player and way more experienced.

Morris may be the down fall of the team, thinks he's better then he is and on a contract year. They should of just kept Harkless. Oh well

[Clippersfan86]

**** you NBA. Blacking me out from the Clippers game because NBA TV claimed the rights. So now I can't even watch my own team from my local market on Prime Ticket!!

[mentallooser]

Aren't they're supposed to be all these amazing camera angles and stuff? Looks the same. Is it because this is a scrimmage instead of a game?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

**** you NBA. Blacking me out from the Clippers game because NBA TV claimed the rights. So now I can't even watch my own team from my local market on Prime Ticket!!

You're not missing much so far, very rusty and sloppy. What's the story on Zubac? He has been a no show for the entire bubble I guess. Oh well, Noah is coming in handy.

I found a workaround thanks to others helping me. Fox Sports app.

[NuggetsFan]

Nuggets starting out with Jokic/Grant/Bol Bol/Millsap/Plumlee. Crazy. 3 7 footers.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

There was 2 shotclock malfunctions at the end of both quarters. Orlando idiots better not get a habit of doing that.

[KD7]

Jokic looks noticeably quicker now that he's lost weight

Our only available guard today is Troy Daniels!

Bol bol looking solid today :rockon:

[Clippersfan86]

Reggie Jackson continues his really good play.

Naw it's the low effort D that caused that. His handles look sloppy AF compared to KD

Say what? I’m in so cal and they aired in on prime ticket and blacked it out on nbatv

[DoctorP]

this shits pretty boring without seeing the superstar players.

may as well watch ants in an ant farm.

[Axe]

2020-21 season seems to be pretty much screwed now

[NugzFan]

Naw it's the low effort D that caused that. His handles look sloppy AF compared to KD

You mean Bol bol isn’t Kevin durant??

Nevertheless that was an impressive sequence. He had a very nice game today.

[NugzFan]

o yeah they are into ants?

[insidehoops]

Early observations:

Clippers G Lou Williams is still a bucket off the bench.

As expected, Wizards F Rui Hachimura should put up nice numbers in points and boards. Wizards barely have anyone else.

Nuggets F Bol Bol may be worth watching, though not going to get too excited over one scrimmage.

The Nets starters are on the limited side of things, vs their 7pm ET scrimmage vs the Pelicans today: Chris Chiozza, Caris LeVert, Garrett Temple, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Jarrett Allen.

[insidehoops]

Wednesday July 22

Today's games still upcoming:

7pm ET Nets vs Pelicans (NBATV)

8pm ET Kings vs Heat (Will be shown tape-delayed on NBATV around 9pm ET)

[DoctorP]

looks like they are trying some fake crowd noise to improve the dead energy... seems to be effective

[NugzFan]

o yeah they are into ants?

Probably

[insidehoops]

I'm all for the league blasting full fake crowd noise for the seeding games and beyond.

The sound of a packed arena of fans yelling and screaming is a huge part of our emotional reaction in sports.

[insidehoops]

The Nets vs Pelicans scrimmage right now is blacked out in NYC. They're making people use League Pass still, as per normal during a normal season.

yeah they should at least try to match the energy of the video game experience

[insidehoops]

I guess fans who really want EVERY scrimmage will pay League Pass the 29 bucks. The rest, and vast majority, will take the 16 (or so) NBA TV scrimmage broadcasts and be cool with that.

they turned off the crowd noise... ugh

[fourkicks44]

We all know that Lonzo is the GOAT player in scrimmages.

[Axe]

No warriors anymore and thus, no curry. :(

[insidehoops]

UPDATE: So after some confusion, it looks like League pass is NOT charging for these scrimmages. The Kings vs Heat League pass app feed is working right now.

[DoctorP]

Sarah Kustoks play-by-play still turns me on

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Caught some of the highlights between Clippers/Magic. A lot rust there no doubt, but PG looked great. Liked what I saw from Lou too.

The no crowd thing will be strange going forward, but the competition should remain high level.

[insidehoops]

I bet once the real games start they will pipe in full crowd noise. Just a hunch. Haven't seen anything official.

If they don't, many people will probably urge them to do so. I'm sure they're open to being flexible.

[SATAN]

Having full crowd noise would still be weird considering the way the courts are walled off from actual crowds.

[insidehoops]

True. I'm thinking if they keep the cameras focused on the players/court and not the background then I think we'd get used to it at least PARTIALLY. Enough for it to serve the purpose, of connecting us at home with the sounds we associate with big plays.

[DoctorP]

Kings announcer having coughing fits. has he been tested?

[insidehoops]

Was listening to the Heat broadcasters. Will now listen to Kings.

[insidehoops]

Scrimmages reminder: Today (Day 1) scrimmages were 10 minute quarters.

Starting tomorrow, they'll all be the usual 12 minute quarters.

[Jay-B]

Kind of weird and kind of cool at the same time. I think important playoff games will seem weird, but it will grow on us

[StrongLurk]

Aster*sk

[DoctorP]

Aster*sk

thats obvious

[insidehoops]

I don't think the playoffs and championship are an Aster*sk. Every team that matters in the league for this season is here. If everybody stays healthy (THAT is the big one, obviously -- that's a big IF) then the playoffs will be... the real playoffs.

anything out of standard is an obvious asterisk

[StrongLurk]

Honestly these games are more cringy than I thought without having a crowd.

It's like I'm watching a YMCA game.

Such a shallow product and feels like there is barely any tension.

[Gougou]

The commentating from the Magic vs Clipper game is quite weird, he talks so fast, that's it.

edit : omg wizards vs nuggest is even worse.

Anyways, I just want to say there is finally some nice sports to watch...
