    So we jumped up to 8 nationally televised games while four NBA teams are at 2.

    So Yang has given the Blazers a 400% boost in number of national TV games.

    Considering we now have 8 national games yeah I'd have thought ESPN or ABC would have 1-2. The projected wins don't matter, we have Yang.

    Agreed.

    I hate the "ESPN on ABC" thing. Just have it on ESPN or have it on ABC. Stupid confusing delivery.

    They also put talking heads that yell stupid takes like Steven A Smith or Perkins on instead of well spoken guys who have a few minutes to speak like the TNT crew.

    I'm doubting the TNT crew going to ESPN will work at all. ESPN can't help themselves and will cut the times those guy have, and they will lead into sportscenter with stupid Scott Van Pelt as though he has some show we want to watch.

    NBC yes I'm curious how it works. Just having the Tesh theme will be awesome regardless of what else they do.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that there are a lot more NBA national TV games with the new TV deal.

    probably...I did a quick and dirty calculation in my slow and dirty mind and came up with 452 national games. That's a lot of games for a 6 month season; about 75 a month...wow. If all tings were equal (which they never are), the average number of games per team would be 15

    I'm also wondering if that schedule is subject to change....I'm guessing that it is

    I think I’m going to get Blazervision for this season.

    People who used it last year - How does the “On demand” part of it work? Are games added immediately after conclusion? Is there a 2hr, 4hr, 10hr, 24hr delay before being able to access the on demand games?

    Are all games available on Blazervision or are some National broadcasts blacked out?

    Preseason will be available on Blazervision?

    Thanks in advance.

    I’ve had Fubo for a while and then got BlazerVision last year. Turned out that the games were on Fubo anyway, so it was kind of a waste of money for me. I did get two free tickets, so I guess I overpaid for a pair of 300 level tickets (which ended up being that absolutely dreadful loss to the Grizz.

    Does anyone know if the games will be streamed on Fubo?

    It sometimes was clunky for me to watch old games, but that was more the firestick layout vs on my phone.

    All games that are on Blazer TV are available. Games that are on TV otherwise (like ABC or NBC) would probably not be also streamed?

    The app implies the preseason games are broadcast, but I will believe it when I see it.

    Forgot to mention @PDXFonz they do have access to about half a dozen classic games (finals games). There might be more in the app somewhere, but I don't snoop much.

    When you got the free tickets, did you have to wait a bit after you bought BV to get some kind of code ?

    I tried getting my freebies, but it keeps asking for a code/coupon and I haven't been given one.

    I did have to wait last year. They emailed me later on with the code or whatever process I had to go through.

    Luckily, the game I picked isn't for a while.

    I went in to add NBA League pass now on YouTubeTV (YTTV) and don't see it anywhere. What a mess.

    I loved how YTTV would allow me to watch 4 games at once, plus how it records it, plus I can easily watch on TV, Tablet, Phone.

    So I guess to watch NBA games I now need 4 different subscriptions
    • ESPN, ABC, NBC (all avail on YTTV or alternative)
    • Peacock streaming subscription
    • Amazon streaming Prime subscription
    • Amazon NBA League Pass add on
    Kind of annoying I also need at least 3 different apps running. So I can't watch these all on a single TV at once as I could previously.

    Unless they have plans to allow you to load your subscriptions all in NBA app and then watch all games at once in there.

    I just scrolled through the channel guide on Comcast. I guess they still have league pass. Of course the local restrictions apply so that probably isn’t a good option for anyone local.
