So are cord cutters just screwed? Is there no way to watch the Pels on TV this season other than illegal streams? I mean YouTube TV was the signature sponsor of the NBA Finals this year, but people in the New Orleans market with YouTube TV have no way to watch their team in their own city. Shame on both sides for not coming to an agreement in time for the start of the season.

Sinclair wants to start their own streaming service. They're very much overplaying their hand and I hope they fail miserably.

Sinclair is a pox upon this nation for so, so many reasons.

Is this something that will get sorted out once nba sees their ratings in the tank?

I sure hope so. I streamed tonight's game illegally and it was okay, but I sure wish I could just watch it how I've watched the last two years without the occasional buffering and pixelation.

Yeah it sucks and it’s crazy such a market failure continues to perpetuate when it’s clear there is so much money being left on the table for everyone.

However, If you want the best not-quite-legal way to stream(hd quality rivaling cable, dvr, stop and resume, home and away and national broadcast options, and recorded past games all season to watch if you missed the game or want to go rewatch one) Hehestreams is the way to go.

It’s not free, but I can vouch as someone that was frequently stuck in the no mans land last season because of work being in the blackout zone for league pass but not in a market for Fox Sports. Quality and reliability are unmatched

I once had PS Vue before they folded and now have YTtv. Both have had frustrating local channel/major cable network channel negotiation fails off & on, as I have also read about DISH, HULU, AT&T, Sling having similar cord-cutting issues drawbacks .

Still, YTtv is about $300 cheaper than what I used to pay for COX cable ($450/mo.) as I pay for internet/tv access for two households (mine & parents). I can live with that.

Tonight, I literally typed "Pelicans vs Heat" on smart tv/you tube app and the first thing that came up was a LIVE stream of the Miami local broadcast. I can also live with that.
