Kings on NBA.com Webcast Saturday 4pm

[CruzDude]

The first Kings summer league game vs. Toronto this Saturday at 1pm (Pacific Time) will be on NBA.com webcast online only. No TV.

First you can access the summer league broadcast schedule here:

Then at this link is a good discussion about computer/software requirements:

Bottom line is you can watch NBA.com webcasts on your computer and, for those Mac user who also have Mac TV unit, on your big screen TV. The NBA.com webcast is oriented to PC/windows but I saw the videos just fine on my Mac running 10.5.3 and using Safari. You do need Windows Media Player 7.1 or newer in any case and they recommend IE 5.5, Firefox 1.x or Netscape 7.x browsers.

Tuesdays game at 7:00pm (listed at 10:00pm but that is east coast time) vs. Portland is on ComcastSportsNet Northwest AND on NBA TV live.

Wednesday's game at 3pm vs the Mavs is NBA TV and nba.com webcast

Friday's game at 7pm vs the Warriors is tape delay at 9:30pm on NBA TV and live on nba.com webcast.

ADDED NOTE REGARDING NBA TV: If you have DirecTV you have to add the SPORTS PAK to your DirecTV account to get NBA TV along with all the comcast sports channels around the country and a bunch of other sports channels. Was $12/month but lets me see ALL summer league games. This is separate from NBA League Pass. In October when NBA League Pass starts, it includes NBA TV.

Thats bs, i want to watch them on the freaking tv. I wouldn't have a problem with it being on the webcast but the thing is that i have Satellite internet and what they call a FAP...basically i can only download 400 mb in a 24 hour period but between 12 and 3 am i have unlimited downloads. So can I only stream it live or can i watch it later at 12 am?

I think when it says "live" that means only in real-time. However, they have clips from some games that can be viewed anytime. So why not get someone in your geography who has DirectTV to record it for you?

Sorry 'bout dat.

Nope. Thats my/west coast time. On the schedule however, all times are eastern.
