[THE HCP]

The Jazz are one of the teams that broadcast all their preseason games, so I’m assuming you will be able to watch THEIR broadcast. I know the NBA LeaguePass will have it, but not sure if we (blazervision) are allowed to use that feed. I can ask around tomorrow.

Thank you for that info.

May I ask why Blazervision edits the game into highlights for the replay, instead of having the full game available on replay? Maybe there is something I am missing?

What about last night’s game?

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

What about last night’s game?

​

Last nights game played great.
I loaded it up 2hours late, but before the game ended and it played fine. I know you mentioned the Kings game wasn't a Blazers broadcast, but from what I understand, the game was available to watch in its entirety live. But when i went to watch it a couple hours late, it wouldn't load anything up. I waited until the game was over and it then loaded up the game, but it was a truncated version of the game.
I have rehearsal again tomorrow and will bit be available to watch the game live. Should I expect the same highlight only option tomorrow, if I am not able to watch it live?

Maybe there are copyright violations if replayed entirely? Just trying to figure out why the games the Blazers don't themselves broadcast, cant be replayed in their entirety.
Thanks for any answer/knowledge you share on this. Much appreciated

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So far Grant is shooting as bad as last year, and I don't think a guy who shoots that badly should even be in the rotation. This seems like a really bad situation. He is shooting .842 on free throws though so so maybe he can somehow start making shots. I have said for years he should just be a spot up three shooter. When will Billups get control of the situation?

 

[Domihatin]

Did Will Hardy play the Terminator in the Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles???? Scary AF looking dude. Plus, serial killer vibes from him. What is the actor in the show I mentioned? I'll have to look it up.

 

[Domihatin]

 

[Domihatin]

Garret Dillahunt, that's the actor's name. Uncanny resemblance when he was younger. He's much older now, though.

 

[Domihatin]

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Confirmed - the Jazz broadcast will be shown on BlazerVision tonight.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Current Blazers preseason stats per 36 minutes:


Best +/- in order
Jrue (+22.1 in 36 minutes)
Jerami
Blake (!)
Toumani
Yang
Shaedon
Clingan (exactly zero)
The rest are negative.

Jerami is surprising given that he hasn't looked good. But if he continues to be a positive influence I don't care how he looks.

I’ve never used BlazerVision. Last season for instance, are games always available in the archives? Can you simply go back and watch later?

 

[THE HCP]

I’m a bit biased because those are my guys, but I think they do a good job. Extreme homers….. won’t see too many Blazer replays.

Interesting that, as bad as Grant shot against the Warriors, he was a +21.
Shae was a +16, and Deni was a +2, while everyone else had a minus number. Usually, I would say those numbers don't mean shit, but nonetheless, it is interesting.

Edit: Against the Kings, he also led the team with a +12

 

[BassPlaya]

Murray over Grant for the last warm up? Disappointed a bit...

Im not sure about an archive but you could log in the next day and watch in its entirety. I always watch within a day of the game though so once watched, I dont know how long they remained.

Trying to go watch later is the current issue. It isn't letting me. Its only providing a truncated version of the game. Maybe this is preseason only. If i recall Blazervision wasnt set up last year in time for preseason.

 

[THE HCP]

Might just be a preseason thing. Let me shoot and email to our engineers.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Confirmed - You will be able to watch the regular season games on demand on BlazerVision, after the game is over.
If you are watching a game live, you can pause and rewind and then fast forward.
But you cant join a live game late, in the 2nd qtr for example, then rewind to the 1st qtr. You'd have to wait until the game is over to go back and watch the complete replay of the game.

He got to the FT line a lot, that helps.

How long will Nurk fever in Utah last?

That was the same as last year. Preseason may just be highlights only.
@THE HCP thanks so much for checking about preseason on the back end. You are da man!

Er i mean da HCP!

How long will Nurk fever in Utah last?

Having lived in Utah for a handful of years about a decade ago, I would say that Nurk will have the longest leash of his career with Jazz fans. If he just does what he did here (having a good game every once in a while) the fans there will love him. It isn't because Jazz fans are generally more patient but because they're more patient with white players than maybe any other fanbase.

I want to be clear, I don't think they're less patient with any other racial group of players than any other fans in the league, necessarily. There's not a lot of hate going to the non-white players, they just really favor the white guys.

 

[Irish Trader]

So many options tonight Baseball go Dodgers at 3 Mariners at 5 nfl football at 5:30 and Blazers at 6 Oh My still here oldest member on the board. Interesting year for blazers with new owners to see how committed they are to winning.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

@Chris Craig the Blazers record is not correct.

First world complaints, I know.

Listen Kaptain KIA…..I’m going to need a link. This sounds like a whole lotta’ hearsay!
