    yes. i concur. i think. but, again, amazing that it's a guessing game

    further illustration of the problem: i could acquire the exclusive right to NBA games by paying a billion more than anyone else for the contract and still profit by passing the expense on to fans by charging more for access -- because fans have no choice. i'm a monopoly of course, it's not just...

    true. but it's still offensive that they're not even making an attempt to tell consumers what we'll get and we may have to scramble for another service at the last minute or miss games

    Bally’s Sports+

    the NBA broadcast situation is a greedy, sloppy, mess all because of the never ending pursuit of maximizing profits off of fans with no regard for how it's limiting, complicating and diminishing the fan experience and it's a direct result of an ever increasing arms race (salary cap increases)...

    i think you are partly right last year i do recall SOME Suns games that were listed as ESPN or TNT that were simultaneously broadcasted on Bally's but not all. You could never tell until the last minute. probably, strategically not co-listed purposely as part of the ESPN/TNT deal but with...

    your source? i can't find any information that verifies that. Looking at the NBA schedule, for example, the Mavs game is only listed as ESPN and the Warriors game is only TNT

    6 sounds about right for what's left of non-digital broadcasts. Your TV needs to be digital ready, which any tv bought in the past 12 or so years should be -- otherwise, they sell digital converter boxes for around 30 bucks. i do, in fact, have an outdoor antenna, indoors, hooked up in my...

    ESPN has their own streaming for $10 but, apparently, TNT doesn't so it looks like the cheapest path is Bally's $20 + Sling Orange for $35 (for TNT and ESPN) ABC is free via antenna (along with 120 other HD channels, btw)

    thanks for the info what that means, however, is that in the first week alone, our 2 biggest games, Mavs & Warriors, will not be on Bally's and many of the playoff games will also be exclusively on ESPN and TNT.

    does anyone know if the $19.95 Bally's Sports per month package will include all the regular season games and playoffs or will it be blacked out for ESPN and TNT games? i'm already annoyed with their operation -- It's a fundamental question but the details are not available on the FAQ for the site

    a-hole is not the perfect word for Luka but it's close let's not split a-hole hairs Luka's play from the opening tip of the series was "offensive" offensive, as in, offensive fouling offensive, in that he plays no defense and offensive in that he's a whining manipulator it was Luka who...

    yes, obviously. and the other much larger pile is my "i told you so's" to yours in particular like most, i post here for my sporting pleasure -- for the same reason many fans bet on the games -- which i don't. And which they don't do for the money (because they all mostly lose) the reason is...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    forget Steve Kerr, Green and others complaining about the leaked video, talking as if their privacy has been violated. It's not just up to them. The NBA, Player's Association, and Police have a say in the matter in regards to assault or any other threats and dangers to players. the Warrior...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    the Warriors may have shrewdly played their cards: management is surely pissed that Green gave the team a black eye and risked worse -- like permanently damaging one of their stars with a knuckle to his eye socket so, the GM publicly defended Green as being a "good guy" (yeah, to trade to...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    i don't believe Green is crucial to the Warriors success. He was starting to have some really bad performances in the playoffs (Stephen A Smith went off on him in the Finals). And his tough guy act was becoming more distracting and counter-productive, especially with all the technicals. and...

    2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

    regarding the pending tankathon for the phenom, Victor Wembanyama: looking at just the highlights of his last game, i was surprised that he looked like a finesse player -- a great asset for a 7'4 center but it could also turn out to be his weakness though he's also got a terrific outside shot...

    "sharing the cost with buddies" and "this may be an improvement because i pay a couple hundred dollar's a month for cable now" is not really relevant to how much this Bally's price HIKE sucks. And, again, it doesn't suffice to say, "well that's what the market will bear" and it's justified by...

    there was no question that something was wrong with Paul in the Dallas series, but reading this in NBA.com's Suns preview is news to me:

    Suns Off-season Thread

    with the backup point being an even more important position this season, if we aspire to compete for a championship we need a legit starting caliber guy, like a Rubio, to log a chunk of Paul's minutes. Whatever Payne almost proved 2 seasons ago, he dis-proved last season. I guess they could, and...

    Suns Media Day and Training Camp

    Jones, who was in position to know all about the accusations long ago, lost some respect points too in this process, but at least was smart enough to amend his prior statement with the "unnaceptable" word on media day (and a "not cool" for good measure):

    and, i'll add that we all have a good idea who both guys are if the incident was during the season, Monty would likely have let Ayton simmer in the dog-house for a while consider the summer an extended dog-house he's surely spent a lot of time coaxing, pushing, and reconciling with Ayton over...

    no. again. simply do both. add a word of condemnation -- like everyone else did "i was shocked because Sarver always treated me very well and my experiences with him have always been good. The results of the NBA's investigation, however, are clear and that kind of behavior is unacceptable"
