FU Comcrap! Blazers might stream games? - via Dwitght Jaynes

Interesting post from DJ

During the offseason, the NBA apparently decided that teams could make live telecasts of their games available on their web sites, but left it up to individual teams to decide whether to do it. And what I’ve heard is that the Trail Blazers have already decided to stream all their games live this season on their web site.

Anyone know of anything concrete if this is gonna happen or not?

 

[BlazersBlood]

YES! FUCK YOU COMCAST! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU & SHOVE IT UP YOUR MONOPOLISTIC ASSES!

Thanks for this update. +rep!

I was wondering why nba.com didn't have league pass broadband available to purchase yet.

 

[barfo]

Well, that's certainly very good news for all those that can't get Comcast.

I really, really, really hope they make this available for us out of town fans.

Though, the NBA would probably lose some revenue from LP BB if they did.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

That is quite literally too good to be true. Why on earth would the NBA let teams do that?

 

[santeesioux]

PLEASE let this happen, it would be great...

 

[andalusian]

Shit. I already get too much of HCP's crap on my computer as is. Now I am going to get it via the team website as well. That sucks!

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Perhaps they are spending the money it would have cost to air preseason games to set up this live stream of regular season games on their website instead.

Perhaps to expand their fan base and generate more merchadise sales?

And those who CAN, but refuse to support their monopolostic price gouging and crappy service.

I'd rather spend my money on tickets to attend the games in person than give one thin dime to those greedy, lying bastards.

If you read Jaynes blog, he says that the NBA allows teams to charge for access to these feeds.

Because they can not control the illegal feeds - so that way they might as well see some revenue from it.

For a fee less than the price of LP BB, or comcast, I'm certain fans wouldn't mind paying.

That's cool. I'd rather sit at home and watch it on Comcast, rather than spend my money on $8 beers at the RG (speaking of greedy bastards).

I do not drink beer, so maybe it taints my point of view - but even when I did drink beer - I never thought there is a beer that is worth the experience of being among 20K loud, screaming fans and the roller-coaster of emotion is on a completely different level, no matter how good the game looks on TV.

Going to a Blazers game is an Event!

Yeah... somehow that experience is less appealing to me lately. I'm not sure I want to be in the same room with 20,000 people anymore. But that's just me, I'm all for those who enjoy it going and enjoying it to the maximum extent.

Invest in a flask...

 

[Wheels]

Def good news for those of us who cant get Comcast... I hope this is true.

 

[ehizzy3]

for free? thats too good to be true

 

[mgb]

Invest in a flask...

Ya, that's what I do. Well I don't drink, but we bring in pop cans and cheeseburgers.

how do you get in Burgers?!? Thats awesome!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I will gladly pay the Blazers to be able to stream their games, so long as Com****s doesn't get a red cent from me.

This is great news if it happens.

 

[mgb]

I wear my leather jacket and it has large pockets on the inside. I just stop at wendys and get some of their burgers. Not the best, but heck they have 99 cent ones that are good enough compared to the price at the RG.

There is gonna be a junior Bacon Cheeseburger down my pants on the 27th

 

[TehChad]

I hope this is true, but I'm not going to hold my breath until I hear something official.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Why would there be something official about a cheeseburger down his pants?
