Game streaming on Kings.com within 75 miles of Golden One. No clue on starting lineups Or how many minutes the rotation guys’ll get but basketball’s back baby!

LETS GO!

Lets see how long it takes for the Kings to beat the excitement out of me. Lmao

 

[NiNetNiNe]

Excitement...returning...must not...get...hopes up.

 

[Telemachus]

So far, all the talk coming out of training camp has been extremely positive & they have spent a lot of time focusing on defense. So naturally (as a King's fan), I expect lots of open layups by the Suns and a 20+ point loss tonight.

Just close your eyes and think about Luke Walton offensive sets.

For all of the crazy rules around local broadcasts, etc., can someone explain to me the logic that restricts streaming of a preseason game on the team's website to only 75 mile radius of Golden One? I'm sure there must be some deep legal thinking on that, but makes no sense.

I think for the Kings in Particular, they’ve got a limited market range because the Warriors are literally only two hour away (on a good traffic day)

yeah but why is it the opposite of the regular blackout rules?

I'm not 100% sure on the logic of this, but they've been doing it for several years for non-broadcast preseason games. Because it's not on the RSN, it's not quite analogous to regular blackout rules. But why it isn't just an open stream is not clear to me.

i think the suns broadcast is on league pass for free tonight

was curious if there was league pass or NBA TV (looks like Blazers/Dubs is the latter tho), I saw nothing on the LP links but will check it out.

 

[twslam07]

I think it should be on League Pass if this is accurate (from NBA.com):

I think something to expect is a really aggressive Kings team on defense.

This should be the bare minimum expectation, win or loss

If they can do that, while still managing to score at a good/typical rate, color me impressed. That will be a playoff team.

Yes, I think we should understand early if summer league is indicative of a culture change or just happened to have the right set of guys with a coach (Bobby Jackson) that was the driving force.

haha. And remember, even if they work, they might disappear in 2-3 games anyway in favor of something else.

Well it’s no longer on the list. It was yesterday when I checked it. I guess it was being planned until kings did the stream so now everybody is blacked out. Do they not want fans outside of the state or even the county?

hopefully it’s just an error. If not it will be the only game out of 9 that is not televised on either league pass or nba TV

 

[Hoovtrain]

Is game not televised tonight?

That’s the kings for you.

Looks like they decided to only stream for local area and that appears to be what took it out of the lineup on league pass

League pass still lists it when you click on the game, it’s possible we will only get the Suns broadcast?

[EIM86]
