    Great. Maybe sometime in the next 10 years the Blazers will be good enough to actually appear in a “significant” NBA game.

    I’ve been using the $13.99/month one team NBA League Pass on Amazon Prime Video to start the season…it’s been great. And so easy to cancel when I can’t watch anymore bad basketball.

    edit: of course only useful if you’re out of area like me

    Yeah I'm out of area too... been using YouTubeTV - it just has such a slick interface and the ability to watch 4 channels all at once is way better than any competitor. It also has a month to month league pass that I subscribe to.

    Yep and you can start late and/or pause games. Other services make you wait til game is over to start at the beginning.

    Yeah I think I used to have that where it would have trouble starting late, other people here with Blazervision talked about similar experiences. The NBA app for Roku is kind of glitchy, would sometimes freeze or quit or lag or other odd behavior. YouTubeTV app is simple and just works.

    Haven't ever tried it on prime video as @ant mentioned - that might be pretty good as well. With Amazon taking over TNT league pass backend I was thinking that may improve next year, but using youtubeTV now it actually doesn't really effect me at all.

    I think right now I can only watch it live (no pause or rewind control) or I need to wait until game is done and archived. Hopefully that changes as Prime builds their NBA package
