This thread is started every year and I remind ppl every year... You don't have to pick 5 teams right away. Just pick who you know you like, and wait for the season to unfold to pick the last 2 teams. And don't pick Lebron. He's on like 20-30 national games that are blacked out any way.
Pretty much just Timberwolves and Rockets for me, and whatever other game I put money on. I think Pelicans are a good, but possibly overrated option. If you want an underdog team that won't really effect the Rockets then the Raptors might be another good bet.
The fact you need to ask others only solidifies that you know very little about basketball. Further, why would you pick the Grizzlies, you said you are no longer a fan.
Rox (Who loves seeing 3 balls? Everyone!) Warriors (easily the best team to watch) Clips (Second best imo) Pels (See AD dominate) Bulls (surprise pick - they do well on the defensive and offensive so far this season - it's not like last year. This team is actually pretty fun to watch)
call retention dept of your cable provider to threaten to cancel, then u get a better price in cable. THEN ask for NBA LP for $99 All Teams. Been doing this for the past 3 years.
Seems like $50 for the extra 25 teams is a better buy per unit price. If it was $50 for 5 teams then I would consider it.
Suns - Love their guard heavy system. Makes for fun basketball. Golden State - Well coached. Curry is a freak of nature. Spurs - Beautiful basketball and Pops halftime interviews. Atlanta - Want to keep a close eye on Millsap and Horford. Raptors - Something about this team. If Rose goes down and the Cavs can't put it together, I can see them sneeking into the Finals.
If you're worried about national TV blackouts, you should just spend the extra $50. I only give a **** about one team. The other four are gravy.
