    Just read a bunch of replies to Casey about the game not being aired tonight. I wasn't aware that the nut jobs weren't only on HERE! They are EVERYWHERE!

    Major fail on the Blazers organization to have the biggest change in direction of this team in 11 years; then both the fan festival as well as first scheduled game not televised.

    Just bogles my mind how anybody in the Blazers organization could think this was a good idea.

    They should have known when ticket renewals were higher than any Blazers year since the WCF that fans want to see immediately what this team looks like.

    Blazers are very likely for the 3rd straight year to not have any playoffs, or a playoff race, or heck even any game worth watching after the trade deadline in February. So yeah they should capitalize on the only periods of hope which is the start of the season.

    Doesn't mean the Blazers are doomed forever or any "nut job" label HCP/others are trying to put on those speaking up.

    But it does mean the Blazers made a very stupid decision and rightly are experiencing very frustrated fans who have justified complaints.

    Why would it not be aired??? There's only a 4 hour time difference (different day) between Portland and Aukland.
    Meaning the game would be on at 3 PM in New Zealand. Not some ungodly hour.
    And 1 PM in Sydney.

    The Breakers have already played two season games. This was their first game, a win over the Cairns Taipans.

    One of the perks of being a Rip City Remix season ticket holder is a pair of tickets for tonight's game. Was not expecting anything great, maybe just 200 level. I know it is just a preseason game not against an NBA team but section 112 row H is pretty cool.

    So is there no streaming of any kind of this game? I question that and will be filled with rage if that is true. I shall head to the internets!!!!!

    Jesus Christ, I don't give two flying shits about 2nd spectrum technology, or ref cams, or those annoying segments with a live analytics person, or that dumb-as-fuck over-the-court cam which enables the viewer to see absolutely nothing. I just wanted to see the fucking game, guess that's too much to ask.

    Clearly there's a demand, but no supply.

    Ok so I'm not speaking to, *ahem* market dynamics, but I instantly found one with minimal effort. It's not live yet obviously.

    Remains to be seen whether it's just a stream of the audio or they're showing the arena feed.

    I've never seen an audio only stream, ever. I'm gonna shut up now, as **channels his inner Archer** I feel like I'm perilously close to a highway, what highway you ask? I'm so glad you asked:

    Was Dame demanding we only sign guys 6"4" and under unless it was a personal friend of his? We've added so much length I feel like we have become an ad on a porn site.
