Does anyone know of a way to watch the game after the fact, if I know I'm going to have to miss the game in real time? It does look like you can buy a game after the fact, but any cheaper/free options would be nice to know about if they're out there

Why not already have a sweater in the wardrobe as well lol

yeah i misunderstood it a little bit. Ekoreen worded it weird at first

Further clarification: Delon Wright’s apartment lost power, from early evening to this morning. He: 1) went to Real Sports to hang out, enjoy the heat and charge his phone; 2) He returned home, slept under his blanket in sweater and sweatpants.

My God, it's wonderful that this event is in the running for 'biggest talking point following a Raptors' game 1 in a playoff series'.

I am beginning to hope that the Sixers eat dirt. They've got a nice team and tons of potential and for a while I thought they deserved some good fortune after four years of abject misery....

But their fans are the absolute worst. Maybe worse than Knicks fans, and that's saying something.

I'm scared. Please don't get embarassed on national TV.

Perfectly illustrating the concept of bandwagon fans

Naw, that is 100% about marketable superstars, which the NBA has always been about (but especially since Jordan). Bucks merch is selling because Giannis.

Particularly when you look at overseas sales, basketball fans don't necessarily have a team attachment but they are fans of individual players.

Lakers are 4th. Bulls 9th. They don't exactly have a marketable player on their team.

If Lowry or DeMar have a better night than Saturday, we should win this by double digits

[Scraptor]

You're all partly right. It's a mix of bandwagon (CLE, GS, PHI), superstars (MIL, OKC, HOU), and large markets (NY, CHI, BOS, LA), with some places ticking more than one box.

If Lowry or DeMar have a better night AND the rest of the team performs as well as they did on Saturday, we should win this by double digits. How the team performs is partially due to how involved Lowry and DeMar keep them in the offence.

Philly fans are the worst in general. Look at how eagle fans behaved after winning? Honestly they have won so much recently (eagles and villanova) and still behave like morons. City of no class

I'm assuming the turnovers get cleaned up and the defense doesn't allow as many easy baskets as it did for the first 3 quarters. Won't need 16 threes to keep ourselves afloat if the silly mistakes are limited
