    Couldn't we all write to YouTubeTV and get them to add Root? They may be already considering it.

    Another way for the Blazers to give fans less options? My goodness, the really seem to want to make it difficult and limiting. If Comcast is the only option....that is an epic fail.

    This is no different then when they went to Comcast what, 15 years ago? I'm not switching tv providers again just to watch the Blazers ( I looked into it, and it was going to cost about 40 bucks more a month more). No offense to the Blazers, but you aren't worth an extra 480 bucks a year.

    Well if Comcast would have up there market to Dish and direct tv then maybe they wouldn't been put on the shelf. Where I live we don't get Comcast so all games got black out when nbatv show the the games. To many people got black out because of Comcast even if you had the NBA pass you would get black out. So Comcast did it there selves. Now I am happy due I do get root tv.

    I just moved back to Oregon (central). How is it that it was cheaper and easier for me to watch the Blazers will in an external market thru league pass than it is while in the state?

    I really hope there is a viable streaming option because I can't even get Comcast where I live.

    I watched some of the free pirated links when I was on vacation in Mexico and was really impressed with the quality.

    yes, but it's a hassle getting it hooked up to the TV and quality is inconsistent. Also, it lags even live boxscores on Yahoo/ESPN by like 2 mins. Kinda annoying.

    There has been rumors that the NBA is setting things up for a major streaming service like Netflix or Amazon to get all the rights for all the teams. If this Root Sports thing turns out to be true it will be interesting to know the term of the contract and if the Blazers or NBA have a buyout.

    Eventually (10 years +/-) we'll see the betting sites take over broadcast rights and have in game betting on a play by play basis.

    "Will Dame make this free throw? Bet now!"

    "Will the next possession result in Points? Foul? Turnover? Bet now!"
