Was actually surprised it didn't get picked up by NBATV. But I guess they have their own Friday night game, don't they?


NBATV usually can't show games at the same time as ESPN, TNT, or ABC

How much does it cost?

I snatched it up at Christmas for about $160. I think it's selling for under $100 for the rest of the year.

In addition to getting to watch my Pelicans in HD now instead of firstrow, wrapping up my night with late-night Warriors basketball has become my new favorite show.

Not bad at all. I need something to fill the NFL void.

Do you happen to know if it's AppleTV friendly?

I think it was $200 for all teams and $150 for 5 teams.

Mobile devices only. It doesn't extend to your cable/satelltie provider.

Can they do the same with the Lakers plz?


I think that is harder to do because of the time zone, but I think they have already started to take some of their games away.

Lakers are a much bigger national brand, so I think they are a bit more reluctant to do so sadly.

I am literally giddy at watching that game tonight. Had 2 tickets and they were snatched by someone and won't pay $120 for a regular season game. Can't wait to watch these two teams play offense against eachother (and both play pretty good defense as well).

As a Hawks fan I'm pretty sure we are going to lose (been playing a lot worse lately, no Seph hurts our team defense in games like this), but the matchup is awesome.

Which is too bad because at this point about the only Western Conference games that aren't fun are games involving the Lakers. With the T-Wolves you at least get Wiggins.

Ballstreams invite for whoever wants it

Much cheaper than League Pass. You get all of the ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBATV games. No blackout issues.

Yes. The HD stream is awesome on Apple TV. The only con is that you can't do split screen (up to 4 games) like you can on a computer.

I haven't heard of ballstreams. How does it work? Cost, etc?

I'm in ohio and I will stream like I do pretty much every hawks game. The ones against the cavs are on here. And then the MLK pistons game was on as was the pelicans game earlier this week.

I will get league pass next year. This is my first year away from Atlanta and I didn't realize how annoying streaming the games would be.

Great timing

Kind of like when my family moved us away in 1992 after going to 25 Braves games a year in 89-91 (at least we got 91).

My issue with League Pass is that for some reason I am blacked out from Grizzlies games despite only getting to watch them when the Hawks and Pelicans aren't playing, so I had to find an alternative.

It is an invite only service that streams games online. I paid $40 a few weeks ago and have the service until April (basically until the playoffs start). Then I will have to decide if I want to extend it for the playoffs or not.

I love it and will be definitely using it next year. Crisp HD feeds, streams to my Chromecast and Xbox 360, and it provides a mobile feed.
