Basically, I’m trying to say you’re right - and the Pac-12 is moving to Root Sports and streaming on AliBaba.
And then the Pac 12 Network has been discussed plenty of times.
Those two things, and those two things alone have caused this.
Like someone said, CBS, Fox for bigger games or something out there like Amazon Prime can be done.
I used to be a huge Blazers fan growing up, my parents had season tix and for a few years I went to almost every home game. I chipped a tooth running down Broadway after game 6 of the WCF, pretending I’m Bonzi Wells. I’ve mentioned on here how I sold blow and x pills to one of their star players. I stuck by the team even when they traded away my favorite player, the Kobe Stopper, for Voshon Lenard.
Somewhere along the line I got disillusioned with NBA basketball. Maybe it’s when Greg Oden’s knee exploded for a third year in a row. Or when Mo Cheeks helped that girl sing the anthem instead of letting people pelt her with tomatoes as they should have. Drafting Martell Webster over Chris Paul, signing a guy with zero knee ligaments to a max extension, etc. I actually still don’t give a fuck about the NBA since it’s pretty much rigged and a repetitive 82 game season is uncalled for - but I’m doing this to humor my girlfriend until she gets bored. I’m hoping she sees what a pain in the ass it is to go to 40+ games per year to watch a fat Bosniak struggle to make free throws.
He stopped returning her calls, she started showing up trying to find him every day for weeks, then somehow our bill went up to like $250/month and it was locked in for another year and a half. We did have HBO, though. The moral of the story is that I associate Comcast with a fat ginger yelling “yes fuck my ass harder!” from the bedroom next to mine when all I wanted to do was watch ESPN.
Pac 12 network not so much
Basically, the Blazers passed up a Hall-of-Fame point guard in CP3 and a three time All-Star and two time second team All NBA PG in Deron Williams for Martel Webster, Jarrett Jack, and Joel Freeland. Because Paul Allen saw Webster play a good game in high school while CP3 was carrying Wake Forest to being ranked number one.
