Possible End in Sight for Comcast/Dish Standoff?

Not sure exactly when this will take effect, and what the overall impact on the current impasse will be, but reading the article it sounds like the most promising news we've seen yet on the subject.

Help Me Pick my League Pass Choice Teams

Help Me Pick my League Pass Choice Teams

Need 7 teams total, I can only watch games involving at least one of these teams
Blazers get spot #1 obviously
In order to maximize my coverage, picking all the top teams in the league is counterproductive, given that they are on national TV a lot
looking for ENTERTAINING teams to watch, not necessarily the best teams record-wise
OKC is probably a lock for a spot, with 2 of the big 3 in the East probably in as well. This gives me 3 more spots. Any suggestions?

Some Early Short thoughts on Game 1

Some Early Short thoughts on Game 1

Houston has been pushing the tempo, and we've been giving up lots of fast breaks. Interesting to see how that works out
Houston will start the 6'6" Chuck Hayes at center. Hayes is no pushover, but giving up 6 inches, Oden better get a LOT of chances down low
Related to the above, if Nate decides to go small ball for large chunks of the game instead of exploiting his own matchup advantage, so help me...
Will we look any better than last year at mitigating the damage of quick penetrating point guards?

Rudy vs. Nicolas: 9/17/09

Looks like Spain will face France in the first game of the quarter-finals on Thursday. Time is not yet set, but expect it to start in mid-morning Portland time.

Winner goes to the semis and gets a spot in the 2010 World Championships. Loser can finish no better than 5th and will have to win the next game to lock up a 2010 Worlds spot.
