    Meanwhile Bally Sports is inching closer to bankruptcy. RSNs are dying or already dead. Blazers were short-sighted with the ROOT Sports deal. Just kicking the can down the road.

    btw, on a semi unrelated note, does anyone else hate the font the Blazers use for these kinds of announcements and post game quotes?

    It's so annoying how they switch not only fonts but make one of THEM in italics.

    Maybe it should impact your partnership. I get trying to prop Root up until the end of the season but if you can use this to get out of your contract with Root and give fans a streaming option you should look into it.

    I'm in for $100 as long as we rename it to Woof and show Scooby Doo reruns from 1-6am.

    the whole franchise from bball ops to the business side is amateur hour. i would venture they have the lowest operating costs of any other team in the league.

    Their twitter game used to be so much better than it is now. Now it's a joke. At least they stopped calling Trendon a Twat.

    The angles that you guys take, especially on fast breaks, are widely hated. I see the same criticism on Reddit too. I can’t even imagine being this resistant to feedback from your customers.
