"I think we have to be mindful of not taking our fans for granted..."

Seriously? Suggesting you have not been being mindful before? You absolutely have missed the boat and that is why the situation has come to where it is.
 
Free streamed the last couple games. Great quality. Wife was driving and I was watching on my phone for one game.

Great quality.

I'd be happy to pay a reasonable fee for this if I didn't have to worry about blackouts but I'm not being forced into a cable or dish bundle.

So I'll just watch it for free.

Yeah, that is pretty much where I'm at. I am considering a bundle so I can DVR the games, but whatever. I'll just take what I can get from streaming sites.

Right, was about to say...its not like live streaming is a new technology. It went mainstream long ago and has only gained in popularity across all sports & entertainment. Wake-up NBA! Every single game should be available to any/all fans with just a few "clicks"...AND NO BLACKOUTS!!! If local high school sports can figure out how to stream a game live with a per game basis fee of $5.99, then I'm sure the NBA can too (and quickly).
 
I know a lot of people have trouble with access to Root, but has anyone seen the new Trail Blazers Courtside? This has to be the most awkward show dynamic. It’s hosted by 2 guys based at Root HQ in Seattle. It’s obvious these guys have no real connection to the team. When they televise interviews, they’ll show clips of Michael Holton and Jay Allen in the Portland studio conducting the interview. The on screen graphic even said Damien Lillard…

What a complete shitshow.

Damn. Disgraceful.
 
So since nobody can see the team play anymore, how are you staying busy with all your free time?

I have to make time to watch the games. Typically at training or practice with my kids during game times.

But when I do get a chance to watch it I just find a free stream and enjoy it. If I miss it I just catch the 10 minute recap later on...
 
Dstream sucks too!!!

they have two channels listed in thier guide for root sports. Exact same programming on both channels. Cant set a recording for both independently. Once one is set to record, the other channel also says its set to record. However boxing ended up recording!
There is no way to know which channel airs the game and which one has something else. The guide says the same programming for both channels!!
Witf??????

So basically i just missed the last game. Pretty pissed now after spending the last hour trying to figure this out and why the game didn't record for me…
I dont know if its a root issue. A directtv issue or what but neither are really accessible to get answers…

lame…
