Due to restrictive territorial broadcasting rights For the past 30 plus years, other than nationally broadcast games, I’ve only been able to watch the Spurs on television. So, I got to watch the Rockets only when they played the Spurs or were on a national broadcast. I’m enjoying being able to see all the NBA games on TV this year since the NBA has eliminated regular season territorial broadcast restrictions for the 2025–26 season. I don’t know if it’s temporarily free or if the League Pass comes with DirecTV stream. They are probably employing one of the Stringer Bell Marketing Methods of product introduction; give it to them, get them hooked, then make them pay.
The Rockets dropped to 0-2 losing tonight at home to a shitty Pistons team 115 - 111. Well, it’s early maybe the Piston are a better team this year, but the Rockets should not be losing home games to them. Fact: Ausar Thompson outplayed the guy drafted before him, twin brother Amen Thompson.
The Spurs had to go to OT to beat the Pelicans in New Orleans 120 - 116. Wemby had 29 points, 11 rebounds, along with 9 blocked shots, before fouling out in OT. He’s 21 years old. Plays like a combination of the best of Durant, Olajuwon and Jabbar. Has a strong desire to get better.
No one else got arrested by the Feds…yet.
