There is nothing particularly difficult about the set up, though. That’s why I’m having a hard time figuring this out. I’ve gone through every setting in the apps, roku, tv, etc.

Cord cutting question - watching sports choppy - herky/jerky

Posted by LSU Piston on 9/8/18 at 9:54 am

I don’t visit the tech board often - so I’m not sure if this has been addressed

I cut cord about a year ok - bought A roku express for our HD tv (1080). Picture quality was not good - watching sports was especially painful, as the fast motion looked jumpy and herky/jerky

Did some research and decided to upgrade to roku ultra - the picture is equally jumpy. It seems to be equal for the most part between apps (sling, espn, etc)

I have no idea how to even troubleshoot this. I had my internet speed “tested” - and it was deemed fast enough. Roku and sling customer service are not helpful.

Can anybody help? I can give additional specs if needed.

Thanks in advance,

Tech Board

Will they actually start Kennard, though? I think they should

I doubt it. Will likely be Bullock. Kennard’s game is better suited off the bench, IMO, at least at this stage of his career.

I know we will always hear about Kennard being drafted before Mitchell, but I honestly think Kennard will be good if given the minutes. I was watching some of his game highlights a few months ago and he has a really smooth game. 14/4/3 per 36 and 41.5% from three. I think he could put up 12-16 PPG this year and be a candidate for MIP.

Kennard is solid. His defense needs work, but he’s a solid athlete.

The Griffin trade was pretty terrible IMO. Paying Blake 32-37 mil a year is outrageous. He’s not a top 20 player, might not be top 30.

Whether Pistons fans like the financials of this trade or not, Griffin makes them a better team. With Jackson and Drummond, this is one of the best trios in the East

Pistons are a better team than 39-43. They were on a 50-win pace with Reggie Jackson in the lineup last year, and that is not taking into account acquiring Blake Griffin and Coach Casey.

I personally think 48 wins for the Nuggets is too low.

52 wins for the sixers is too high.

43 wins for the pacers seems way too low.

40 wins for the spurs, 30 for the Cavs, and 25 for the Knicks all seem much too low

And often times Southerners confuse people's unwillingness to engage in small talk or acting rushed/direct as being rude but people in the North do not see it that way. Sometimes it's that people in the North just don't want to bother other people. So it's a different kind of politeness.

re: Quietly, Andre Drummond is suddenly a 78% free throw shooter

I’d like to see is this sustainable or will he just go back to bricking it up.

Preseason plus regular season - he has shot around 60 free throws. Not sure if he can sustain in the mid to high 70s, but his days in the mid 30s are over.

Quietly, Andre Drummond is suddenly a 78% free throw shooter

Posted by LSU Piston on 11/4/17 at 10:00 am

He changed his form - now he looks like an old man shooting at the YMCA.

Shooting 78% this year from the free throw line. Shot 80% during the preseason. With all of the storylines in the NBA so far, Drummond is quietly stepping up his game from a very disappointing year last year, and leading the pistons to a 6-3 record, including road wins over Golden State and LAC.
