    Crazy thing in the past….the Blazers have NEVER done that, but it has gotten leaked somehow on the bootleg streams. Always amazes me how THAT feed get’s out there.

    Somehow we have less coverage than high school sports. Ridiculous in 2023 we can't watch our professional NBA team play an official game listed on the teams schedule?

    Go test the direct to consumer stream or something that the Blazers might consider in the future. I'm happy to pay for access to view this. Never ceases to amaze me that some businesses make it so difficult to buy their products.

    Also calls into the question the whole point of promoting these international exhibition matches - if they don't even televise them?

    the ra'anana simulcast last year i'm guessing was sent over to israel; maybe it was available to watch over there?

    hopefully something similar with the breakers tomorrow. I remember watching a choppy stream of shaedon sharpe annihilating people.

    I’m just saying there was no actual broadcast of those games….so no stream to steal. Just a big screen show that doesn’t leave the building….. can’t figure out how they do it. HA!

    I find it impossible to believe the stream made it out of the RG without someone signing off on it. it definitely wasn't an iphone/wifi stream situation.

    if I had to guess it was part of the exhibition agreement with the other team and not intended for US broadcast.

    Great point, and you’d think that would it explain it…..but when I showed our director of broadcasting that people were watching it, he was blown away.

    This team is so damn archaic when it comes to providing their customers with content.

    Why no broadcast? Is it laziness or incompetence or both? So fucking annoying.

    Blazers were the first team to do Close Circuit feeds back in the 80s…… First to offer pay-per-view back in the 80s…… first to air ALL 82 games….. first with what we call “robo cams” manned cameras above the rims……first with a “slash” camera angle tucked over in the corners……first with “hot head” cameras mounted under the bigscreen.
    I’m biased, but I’ll give them a little bit of leeway. Archaic might not be the term I would use when it comes to bringing the game to the fans. People should really do some research into the history of broadcast to be honest.

    Oh but that’s right, Blazers Broadcasting fucking sucks.

    I think only a handful of teams broadcast all their preseason games. Pretty standard to be honest. Been like that for years. As far as why WE don’t, above my pay grade. And as @SlyPokerDog shared with you all this past fall, there was a big reset with Blazers Broadcasting this offseason. Biggest turnover in their 50 year history. So, covering a game against a YMCA team Tanzania might not have been up on their list of top priorities.

    But like I said, that’s above me.

    So sounds like the answer is "both", got it.
