What is the best way to watch the Hawks games if you live in Georgia and don't pay for cable anymore?

I used to watch every Hawks game I could for probably 20 years or so, but then when I decided to cut the cord a few years back I just didn't have a way to watch the games anymore. I always keep up with the highlights and box scores but it's just not the same without being able to watch the games. I've checked out league pass but since I live in Georgia it would be blacked out for me. I've heard that a VPN can work but how do you get a VPN to run through your TV? Any suggestions. Or if anyone knows any other ways to stream the games on a nightly basis aside from cable or satellite.
I see that HBO Max is going to start showing NBA on TnT so at least I'll be able finally watch some basketball again. Of course there won't be too many Hawks games on TNT as usual
I'm sure Fox Sports or Sport South or whatever it's called now is losing alot of money due to the vast number of people cutting the cord. If they don't adapt soon then they are going to losing out on Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

If you guys are recommending any illegal streaming links, I'd ask that you PM Ghost this info instead of posting.

Legal options:

1) Try logging in to your Bally Sports South app on your streaming device using your internet provider information.
I live in OHIO and also don't have cable, but can watch watch games on Bally as AT&T has an agreement with some local providers.

2) You can also watch on NBA League Pass the day after the game has aired locally.

3) Or you can listen to the broadcast on the radio.

Yeah I listen on the radio when I can but of course that's just not the same as seeing on TV. I'll have to see if the Bally app can work for me though. I suppose if worse comes to worse i could use a VPN on my phone with league pass and then cast it to the TV.

It seems like the sporting world is slowly realizing that their profits are going to keep shrinking if they don't keep up with the rest of the world with streaming options etc. I mean they still have old school fans like me and probably alot of others on here and Hawksquawk but these small regional networks need to break free of these cable contracts etc. These new generations don't even know what cable tv is anymore so how do they expect to keep earning new fans if it's this hard to watch your team?

I just came across an ad on Facebook for nufu.tv. it says you can watch any game with no blackout restrictions and that it is 100% legal. Says you can pay $69 for a 6 month subscription. Anybody know anything about this site? Seems to good to be true but if it's legit that would definitely be worth it.

Hey Graymule! My family Asheville folk. I've spent a lot of time there. You near there?
