    I have Wave Broadband and cannot find the game anywhere. I looked at league pass and I'm blacked out. Is this how the entire year will be?

    The Expansion Kraken get the regular channel, Blazers get pushed to the side and onto a channel that is not available to all in Oregon. Oh well the Blazers are getting paid, they don't care about the fans.

    The Seattle Kraken is the favored team of the northwest teams!

    Kind of how a lot of fans who can’t watch the games anymore are feeling. Sigh!

    I was blacked out of one game but have been able to see the rest. Why I was blacked out of the one game beats the hell out of me especially since it was a road game far far from Portland.

    The Blazers don't care if you watch. Just as well find a quality free stream.

    Google "reddit r/nba streams" and enjoy.

    Casting Vubo from my phone to my TV has been a disaster.

    I’m confused. More people can now watch than last season. How is that worse?

    They're not even broadcasting it on the main channel the last two games. Kraken game wasn't until 6:30 while the Blazers game was at 4 and it was still on ROOT Plus. Some platforms don't have that option and people have no streaming options and the one they do have likely doesn't have ROOT+.

    You're the only one in here who seems to think this is going well.

    Many accepted that they made a mistake and walked into the something they didn't understand.

    That's not an excuse this time. People expected an actual improvement.

    In spite of the teams bad start, ratings are better than ever. In the industry of televised sports….. thats how things are measured if they are “going well” or not.

    People expected them to learn from the comcast deal and make the next contract far more viewer friendly.

    People were wrong. The Blazers let them down. Now people are angry and less loyal...
