Yeah, I logged on right as he was talking about that. I was like, okay, are you watching the stream or are you just commentating. I assumed for paying 15 dollars they would up the quality of the video...I love the commentators talking about how you are either a hater or you aren't a "real" basketball fan if you don't pony up fifteen dollars. The NBA shouldn't be this desperate to suck every last cent from people. How many people will do this? A million?
Wow, I was also thinking that since they were selling up the on demand that there would be some sort of seek bar or at least a fast forward and rewind. But no such luck. And while I was posting this, my stream just died and said service unavailable. Real quality work by the NBA summer league crew.
Notice that the player logs your IP address... that means the 'account sharing' scheme would be easy to detect... what's re ed is that they left the page open... :P
Yep.
I don't know what's worse, that I paid $15 for a feed even worse than the Estonian League Basketball I watch from Estonian news portals or that I could have watched it for free.
And I'm really pissed because I've never 'stolen' NBA coverage. I've never used a torrent, never used a site where people point cameras at screens, never bought bootleg clothing, never bought bootleg dvds of games, anything. I've always paid for everything.
What a fool I've been. This is how they treat their paying customers. And it's not the $15 I'm bent out of shape for, , that's less than two quesadillas at Mama Margie's. It's the principle of it.
If they don't make the quality at least like Orlando's summer leauge, then screw the NBA. I'll give money to the Spurs directly at games and the fanshop. But the NBA isn't getting any more of my money if they don't fix this.
Torrents, Newsgroups, Justin, here I come !
does it freeze a lot to you too?
it hasn't frozen for me, although there was the annoying glitch where it just shut down. But has anybody else that's watching noticed that they show replays every now and then, only the replays show nothing of the play, they just show the ball in the air, and then going through the hoop.
ppl actually paid for this?
ha, they FINALLY showed a replay where they showed the guy releasing the shot. But I have seen about 3 or 4 replays where they show nothing of the play, just the ball going through the hoop though.
Yeah, don't make it so obvious to where you can get it for free..
Isn't Turner in charge of the NBA websites now? That would help explain the switch to Flash since I believe that's what they use on their sites -- but they should realize pretty quickly that this sucks for live action streaming.
It's a little better than it was when I was watching it earlier. Still far from good quality but I don't have to worry about having a seizure.
LOL, anyone hear the guy that just went on "check check check alright we're still on. Everything's good at the summer league, alriiiight." Guy sounded high.
^ I heard it. It was odd. lol
Was that Dwight Howard or Joey Dorsey?

Goes black every once in a while.
I can't really complain, I didn't pay LOL..

Google ATDHE.
You Rock! Thank you
I'm watching LA v. Cav's now. Looks pretty decent to me.
Does freeze once in awhile, but what did we expect, especially for free.
Brandon Jennings had 7 points earlier.The commentors suck.They aren't covering any of the plays or what is going on all they are is talking with the owner of Houston and how one of them was nba player and he used to shave blah blah.
