I haven't posted on RealGM in a dog's age so this may have been said already, but there is a now a legit way to watch the Raps without subscribing to 3 streaming platforms and/or having cable. Unless this is some kind of glitch specific to me (I'm in Ontario)... or unless it gets shut down in like 5 seconds.

Become a creator to host a game or join a room with raps playing.
-only NBA LP sub needed
-only opposing team commentary available

A friend of mine has a theory regarding the nba’s rating issues:


It’s the blackouts!


….Any thoughts?

Have to agree! They definitely put a lot of effort into forcing people to either illegal streams, non-monetizable viewing like at a bar or giving up altogether

It requires an LP subscription. It just means less revenue for Rogers/Bell specifically. It's not only legal, but also morally the right choice.

The theory has merit. If you stop people from being able to watch, they won't watch.
