    These other network if they want to get root chanel they will. One step at time. Hulu probably will try negotiate to have root as one of it's channels.

    Does that means we get to replace Kent and Hurd?

    I like Jordan and Lamar. Watching their growth over the season was fun. Now back in Colorado, i will watch on League Pass. This being my second stint in Colorado, i've been subjected to how awful the majority of NBA opposing team broadcast are. Boston, Houston, OKC, Orlando, and the Clippers were, by far, the worst. All teams have their homers, but Portland has had some really nice broadcast teams( M & M, Calabro & Hurd). I think Kent & Hurd have great potential. We just got to get past this trip down Ulcer Gulch (thanks Pat Lafferty).

    No, the broadcast team usually moves as well. Because they're blazer employees, not the network's.

    More reason to not get Hulu. I'll stay with HBO max and netflix.

    Kent is by far the worst the Blazers have ever had. Extremely nice guy, but just plain awful as the play by play guy.

    The only one worse in the NBA is the dude from Charlotte.

    Dame is also a spokeman for Adidas while the Blazers are with Nike. It's business, not personal.

    I too have HBO max, I use Hulu for sports and other shows/movies. HBO also works with Hulu so I don't always have to switch apps which is nice.

    Yeah you can add HBO to your Hulu so its all on one bill. You can see all HBO channels and get access to all the on demand stuff in their library. You can even add Showtime and Starz.

    I remember back in the day going to the coast in an RV and being able to use the antennae to pick up the Spice channel somehow. That was the shit as a 13 year old.

    Very excited my family will be able to watch Blazer games again. My 16 year old has never been able to watch a game in our own living room.

    The irony of this move is they are going back to the original channel (fsnnw changed to root) they were on before Comcast, but it feels like the same thing since so many people have cut the cord

    I haven’t tho so idc lol
