At League Pass it seems like it's going to be available there (i.e. it's listed as any other game).

Same with International League Pass. On the list and hope it's there.

Had trouble w/ the first Hawaii game only having the Recap available for half a day... then the full game finally showed up.
The Recap was total crap... only showed Lakers' plays, showed a Laker basket, Jazz inbounding, then Lakers running back. Only way you had an idea what was happening was to look to see if score incremented. Lasted almost 2 minutes before I blew a gasket and shut it off.

Yeah, forgot to mention I meant international League Pass.

I've never really watched the recaps. If I don't have the time for the full game, I normally skip ahead to the fourth quarter or something. Or at least skip some minutes at a time to see if it's interesting.

so no way to watch the game unless u buy a ticket. Obviously someone is going to score 100 by them selves. I say it's Burks!!

You never know - last pre-season someone found a stream of the OKC's arena video.

Interesting way to watch a game from home.

i noticed that. it was ALL lakers. shocking and disgusting!
 
All Laker highlights ALL the time. ESPN commentators are contractually obligated to talk about one a few stars and a few teams. It's not reporting, it's butt sucking for money. Laker's vs. Jazz highlights are always converted into 'Kobe won' or 'Kobe was off' highlights. No news there.

NBATV is much better at this, but I think that they were relying on the Laker's video crew for angles. Still, this wasn't like them.
 
Jazz will not make money like the Cavs, Lakers, Heat, Mavs, Rockets...

I get it.

It probably has to do with media contracts. For instance: It would probably be a violation of the Jazz's deal with RootSports, somehow. Otherwise they probably would.

I understand it may be against a rule or some line in a contract.

I'm missing the rationale of that rule. If Root Sports isn't going to play this game at all on TV, why would they care if people were watching a webcast broadcast of it? Are they losing money somehow on that? And if they did care, wouldn't they care that people in Phoenix/Utah get to see it?

I'm seriously missing any sort of point to this rule other than these clowns just sticking it to out of town viewers. However, there could be some very logical reason why this rule exists that I'm not thinking of.

Like I understand the NFL's blackout rule. They want to incentivize people in the local market to actually go to the games if there isn't a sellout. I always thought it was a bad rule, and they've relaxed it recently, but at least I understood the rationale behind it. I really don't get the rationale behind this rule.

This is always my favorite... They will show Kobe making the 3 and not show Gordon going back at him in the post and giving it to him... Will show like 3 made basket highlights from LA and then the final score we win by 20. How... according to the highlights we had 0 pts.

I used to get mad... I just laugh it off now. ESPN is all about ratings and pandering to sponsors and such. Their draft kings fanduel stuff cracks me up. I get it though... they aren't paid to be fair and balanced.
 
I'm sure one of those streaming sites will have it up. They almost always do. And if not, there's got to be some Phoenix area VPN out there that would let us watch the official PHX stream.
