Hope the Thunder retain rights for the local broadcast and does something like Utah is doing for their fans. It’s ridiculous how many hoops we have to go through to try to watch our team
Bally Sports is insanely expensive. Since I have YouTube TV, there is no way for me to watch it at all unless I want to pay these jokers. I’ve stopped watching unless they make it to the playoffs.

We are all shitting on Bally today…but let’s not forget that Bally is PAYING the NBA teams for such coverage. When Bally steps away next year it’s going to be a free fall as these NBA teams truly don’t want to do this themselves for free.
For example, there’s zero incentive for the NBA to pay the Thunder to be on the app. At that rate, you’re hoping that Cox or AT&T steps up and pays the Thunder in exchange for broadcasting rights…or Sinclair/Hearst and it’s done on a local level (which again, wouldn’t truly benefit the Thunder as OKC truly is a small market.
Bally also forces everyone from Arkansas to Kansas to watch the Thunder. May not be true in this new world. Again, good for the consumer as they’ll just go the League Pass route…but bad for the business.
What I’m typing is life may be harder for the Thunder when Bally dips….OR life may be more restrictive for the local faint Bally dips. A lot of negatives at play.

Sure is hard to watch any games
fffffffffffttttvvvv
If it makes you feel any better League pass is awful too and costs almost the same.
In times like this, I find myself calmed by thoughts of peaceful streams in the east

Where is the pirate on the picture? 🏴☠️ It’s not that I do not want to pay, but Bally has made it much too difficult.
