NBA TV will now have a full slate of basketball programming

[FAH1223]

I hope they come up with some good stuff.

I already loathe paying this cable bill since I don't watch A LOT of TV, but the main reason I got cable is for sports

I have kept Verizon Fios for this purpose. My internet is $79.99 and cable is $89.99 for premium.

It's mainly sports, sometimes news, and some of the channels that have shows that I can just log in with Verizon vs. paying a separate subscription fee.

my cable provider just recently dropped the channel, glad they picked the season that NBATV no longer has games to do this silly shyt

Damn, NBA TV was legit the only reason I switched from Sling to YouTube TV a few years ago and now it's gutted lmao

Is gutted really bad? Other than the games that channel was ass. They refused to show older classic games consistently & give insight on the current league. It was basically live games & replaying the same highlights for the remainder.

Hopefully they achieve at mixing things up

does NBA TV come free with league pass?

I never thought that it was popular/relevant, but I liked their coverage more than ESPN. Every league has a channel, so I doubt that it will be going away.

Most of the Warner people avoided having hot takes for the sake of having hot takes. They did have some really good programming like the shaq & kobe interview and the open court series. I'm not a fan of the league running the network because they may try to limit criticism of the league. How much pressure did Silver apply to ESPN in order to get them to release Mark Jackson & JVG?

Open court was a really good series

If you have League Pass, you have NBA TV.

Wasn’t they already doing this? So all they adding is G-League & overseas games???

 

[pete clemenza]

I've said they needed programming in the worst way for years. Let's see what comes of it

 

[MurderToCassette]

47 less games is rough. I watched a lot of the games on nbatv.

Same, I always tuned in on the strength that 90% of the time a game was on

They had G League and the Africa Basketball League

Now they have the Australian NBL

Only time NBA TV was relevant was 25 years ago when they were showing hardwood classics, reruns of NBA Inside Stuff, and old VHS ish like Come Fly With Me and MJ’s Playground

^^^I’m talkin the dark ages (years before YouTube) where the only way to watch old games or even basic highlight reels was them or ESPN Classic, with your VCR and blank VHS tapes on standby to record

Ofc now all that ish can be found on YT and the novelty of seeing old ish is long gone.

And in the past 10 years? Ain’t no one gonna miss Dennis Scott, Steve Smith, or Brandon Haywood
