    It's absolutely ridiculous that the NBA's own streaming option is a pile of crap, and it has been for over a decade. This shit is not rocket science.

    Brooke Olzendam talks about this move on the balcony podcast she does with Casey....apparently she started with Root , moved to Comcast and then the Blazers....she said they won't micromanage how the Blazers produce their shows and will leave them alone to be pretty much how they've been operating. Casey said they'll probably have streaming service by the next season he'd assume.

    We’ve gone over this before....I’ve streamed on the NBA League Pass though DirecTV for 19 years and NEVER had an issue. Curious why you have had so many problems?

    ROOT will have NOTHING to do with the production of the broadcast. Just like FSN didn’t, just like CSN then NBC didn’t. Blazers Broadcasting will still have total control as they always have. Only thing changing is the channel where you can watch.

    The UI for YTTV has been miles ahead of the other competition in streaming universe. The quality has been better as well from what I’ve heard (admittedly anecdotal). And YTTV has just been the flat fee and unlimited DVR. While others have shown lower prices but have to pay more for weird things like being able to fast forward through commercials on your DVR programming. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s included in the Package price that includes regional network etc.

    I can’t say these are all in ATT streaming. Just more why YTTV has been pretty clear cut winner vs competition.

    I dunno, you can ask the thousands of other people that have complained about it before. Choppy quality, getting cut out, streaming quality fluctuating from HD to awful on a whim. It's a terrible product.

    This only works if the kid with the braces stands next to the tv and holds the rabbit ears in his teeth!

    I stand corrected, it's more expensive but it's still a streaming option that gets you all of your Blazers games. 35 dollars a month a few other channels that YouTubeTV doesn't carry. I think you could be in a worse boat. I'm just saying that as of today the Blazers aren't making you go back to cable or satellite.

    Google's customer support is also top notch. Whenever I've had an issue or have needed to report a bug, Google ALWAYS fixes things quickly.

    Now, of course I can't confirm AT&T TV is poor in the customer service department without trying the service it self, but if it's like their customer service in their other product offerings, or if its similar with my experience with the company over the course of the last two decades, then it's probably going to be shoddy at best.

    Of all the broadcast options among major sports leagues, NBA league pass is BY FAR the worst. The sad thing is international league pass is legitimately good.

    Are you saying THOUSANDS of complaints? Wonder how many people worldwide stream the NBA games. I have friends that work in that department in the NBA. I should ask. Only time I’ve had a bad signal is when I’m in a hotel with crappy internet speed.
