    This actually makes it worse because now all the sudden they’re so backwards when they were ahead of their time at one point

    Like ~$1.25 per game

    $100 doesn’t even cover a decent grocery shopping trip anymore.

    Worth it even if you only watch 50 games IMO. $2 per game is like what it costs to rent a movie out of red box.

    $100 is less than 10 months of Netflix.

    Seems like it was someone else though that came up with the "Refs Butt" cam in the bubble. That was a real crowd pleaser.

    2023 and employees of the team don't even know if the game will be broadcast on TV.



    Backward ass franchise. Emblematic of how this team operates.

    Don’t blame Casey for not knowing. Blame him for not caring either way.

    I didn't blame Casey at all. It's clearly a decision from Hankins and ownership

    I've already read four team employees act puzzled about it—not including the one who posts here. They may not be key decisionmakers, but they're part of a fairly small organization. Just saying.

    Hey, where is the thread for the George Conditt signing??!!! I hope he got here in time to suit up for the game. He's probably be starting, right?
    This guy is so impressive that they blocked his draft profile from being copied and pasted. So here is the link: https://www.nbascoutinglive.com/george-conditt-iv-scouting-report/

    Business 101...... Supply vs Demand FAMS. My son and every kid his age in the country is going crazy for a certain pair of Air Jordans that they refuse to release until summer of '25. Mavs play Real Madrid tonight by the way....and ACTUAL basketball team with stars and history and it is NOT being broadcast. This does happen elsewhere.

    Lighten up homie. You're making this sound like some kinda thing. The Breakers fan will be just fine not seeing their team get stomped by 20 by our scrubs....."inexcusable move"....relax If they felt it was THAT big of a deal, THEY would have hired a crew to cover it. FUCKING BREAKERS BROADCASTING!!!!

    The ability to plug the "cable" in the wall that would share the big screen show with the world was never in question.....they just don't do that. The in-house experience package on League Pass is something different they package to the league so fans don't obviously have to watch commercials.
    Like I said a couple times before.....it's happened before and nobody could figure out how they got it. So I asked our engineers yesterday and in the past in this situation where the preseason game wasn't being broadcasted....Mr. Allen up in Seattle wanted the big screen feed sent to him, and they said that would have been the way it got pirated.
    The radio call tonight will be on the "League Pass".
    I'm here at the arena right now. There is only ONE TV truck in the loading dock and that is ours.
    I know for a fact we are NOT broadcasting the game tonight.

    Nah, not really FAMS. Technology wise NO other regional broadcast is using the 2nd spectrum technology or has a LIVE analytics person joining the show during LIVE game action. As much as it pains people here to admit or the mere fact that they don't watch the 29 other teams regional broadcasts.....Blazers broadcasting is and always has been ahead of everybody else on the broadcast itself and what they are trying to add. People here might not like it is implemented, looks, or comes across, but trust me when I tell you the the league itself absolutely loves all the new things we throw out there. Thats why during summer league the LEAGUE ITSELF uses OUR crew for there shows. implementing new technology like ref cams and an all 5G broadcast.

    I know the broadcast experts will jump all over me any second now for stating these facts, but they are true. #FuckingBlazersBroadcasting

    SIDENOTE: That said, there was a huge shakeup in our staff as @SlyPokerDog shared this past spring.
