I’m not sure how we got to the point that we are now paying for special channels to watch basketball games and STILL watching commercials?

video services in general have felt for a long time like a 1 step forward, 2 or more steps back for consumers.

One thing I’m noticing is pretty much every commercial break during a sporting event has a sports betting advertisement.

Yeah, they mentioned that's the end of their season in the last game.

Who knows, it might be "The NBA brought to you by FanDuel" some day.

Most of the games yesterday were on Amazon Prime. They were playing commercials.

I'm not giving them money for that. No thanks.

Amazon prime is an independent channel that is usually paid for either in a bundle or by itself.
You can get it for 14.99 a month or in some instances 6.99

No lower seeds have won yet. Orlando at least starting out well.

I fully expect the Blazers to get swept but it would be really cool to see them win a game or two.
