[McCarthy] Amazon wants to create an exclusive night of streaming NBA action. According to sources, after agreeing to pay $1 billion yearly for TNF through 2033, Amazon is eying an NBA game package on Tuesday or Thursday nights. The goal: create the NBA’s version of ‘TNF,’ said sources

That would be good. The Amazon TNF is a pretty good product. Tuesday would probably be best
ya no one is lining up to watch rockets vs pistons
i would love this. amazon prime is one of the few subscriptions that basically pays for itself over the course of a year with the savings/free shipping that you get. TNT is great but we need someone to challenge them since ESPN and NBAtv sucks so much
It would have to be Monday night, as Turner already has Tuesday and Thursday, and ABC/Disney had Wednesday, Friday, Saturday nights and Sunday
What would this mean for the tnt crew?
Looks like another year of LP from a cheap country+VPN and I’m not complaining one bit.
Just no espn thanks.

If inside the nba crew ain’t coming I don’t want it
Stay away Amazon. Rather not risk losing the tnt crew
I don’t like this for football, but I don’t mind it for basketball or even baseball due to the amount of games in season…I’d have a problem with it if it were during an in season tournament or playoff tournament (whatever its being called) or something like that…I’d actually have a big problem with that…I’m just not a fan of Amazon
I hope they succeed. Amazon’s Football and MMA content is all free with Prime.
High def legally streaming for free would make prime membership so valuable.
Amazon’s Thursday night broadcasts haven’t been anything great for football, but they could probably put together something more entertaining than Espn’s pregame efforts.
Hope this happens. NBA league pass sucks if you’re in north america
God I hope not. I hate NFL games on Amazon. It’s annoying to have to go to a separate app to watch the game vs the rest of live TV
This would fucking suck. I hate Amazon
We’re still gonna 🏴☠️ #ScrewAmazon
No too many subscriptions needed to watch games, I don’t want my league pass to say no because it’s on Amazon, it already does that for ESPN and TNT. It should be easier to watch big games
Remember that the more money these companies pay to show the NBA the more they are expecting to take from your pockets, fans. ***We don’t want this.***
We want every team to open up online streaming for $100 a season or less, and for multi billion dollar companies to stop forcing garbage clickbait content down our throats to make up for the loss leader that paying for NBA rights is.
I know on reddit Amazon = evil big corporation, but they have done a really good job with TNF so I honestly wouldn’t mind them getting into the nba. The only broadcast I actively like is the TNT ones but all the rest of them I couldn’t care less what network it is on
Like ABC, CBS, NBC all kinda blend together for me so I really wouldn’t mind Amazon taking some of their games and getting creative with it
Plus Amazon has more money to spend then all those other networks combined, so I would not be surprised if we get some big names on those Amazon broadcasts
The NBA won’t be happy until we need Cable, Satellite, NBA TV, league pass, Disney plus, Amazon prime, apple plus, and 5 other streaming providers to watch games.
Please god no! They can’t seem to get TNF streaming right – audio lags, pixelation, buffering.
Watching TNF on Amazon Prime is a cruel reminder of watching videos over dial up from the late 90s.
I don’t want to have to subscribe to yet another service to watch games
I hate that I need 5 different services and a VPN to watch all the games of my team
NBA is about to make some major bank.
Fine with me but all these sports moving to streaming networks is driving my father and uncles crazy.
1 billion for 1 day of basketball a week 0-0 Ill take it though it it comes with prime.
Amazon can go fuck itself..there’s no need for this. Thursday night football is shitty enough as is streamed on Amazon
The NFL is cool and all, but they’ll never surpass the TNT studio nor the humor that the TNT crew provides. The NFL is too rigid.
