    its a good move no doubt. But the Blazers still need to start thinking forward long haul style. The future is streaming.
    Kraken should create their own channel they could then work with streaming apps with, as well as get it on the big three.

    Didn't it go under because the Blazers left?

    Correct, you can set it up on your smart tv in like five minutes and be streaming all of directv's channels live.

    that’s what they say but it went under because it was a shit channel that offered nothing but the Blazers.

    Nobody watched that channel 5 months out of the year. They were broke. I highly doubt their offer was in the same ball park.

    I'm going to play wait and see. I might switch to the Direct tv app or Fubo. Really don't want to switch from Hulu though. I'm so used it. The layout, saving my shows to my page, etc.

    How do these three matchup up? Which is better between direct tv app and Fubo?

    The blazers are doing everyone a solid by playing so badly that nobody cares if they can’t watch! Thanks team!

    cheapest option on dtv stream that has RSNs is 85 a month + fees.

    i can't justify that when all im watching is the blazers

    When I doubled my savings account from $0.01 to $0.02, nobody put me on the cover of Forbes either!

    This kinda feels like the arguments I've been reading about Olshey for the last couple years: "I'm assuming Cody Zeller was the best free agent we could get because that's who we signed."

    Like Olshey has a track record of not being able to make a big move/trade for an all-star over 10 years, the Blazers have a record of not being able to provide their games to a large majority of the fan base. If this summer wasn't the 10th miss in a row, I think people would be more likely to give either one of them the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe I'm only speaking for myself.
