Am I reading right - Youtube and Xfinity don't have a deal with this new network yet?

Yep no deals. And even if there is one, Comcast always pulls some crap by making certain channels "in-home wifi only" disallowing you to stream on the Xfinity app. That was OK with NBC sports because they have their own streaming app where you just put in your Comcast credentials and your good to go. There's no streaming app or site for this new channel. JR really going ancient with this new network. Rabbit ears only!!

12-20. It will be a snooze fest after half. And even 2nd quarters can get extremely boring and sloppy. There's so little to take away other than maybe rotations but we'll see what we can see.


So I’ll plan to watch the first 20 minutes or so. Thanks.


No love for the THT/Liddell/Buzelis/Lofton/Sanogo lineup?

I might have love for it, but it will have no love for even the most hardcore basketball fan I'd imagine.

Hopefully. It looks like channel 753 has it at 6pm central, not EDT like the thread title says.

But I'm guessing there is no pre-game (or post-game) coverage for those of us outside the Chicago area, which sux.

Unavailable to watch and unable to watch as I don't have that channel (need to get a digital antenna I guess).

Looking forward to all of your analysis and overreactions.

Happy to have Bulls basketball back

Hilarious to think we'd trade Coby while he's on a good contract and thus has a lot of value around the league. Nah, we'll wait until he's a FA, sign him to something stupid, then complain we have no flexibility as we aim for high 30s wins.

Best case scenario, which I don't think has any chance of happening, is that we have a minutes crunch at guard because Ayo is playing so well and Lonzo is staying healthy.

I can totally see us doubling down on that instead of flipping high.

It's not a horrible take, it's pretty widely acknowledged that Ayo is the better fit for the starting line-up.

He won't start but he's the right choice.

I'd happily pay for league pass if you actually got the games you wanted to watch live.

or you could actually get it to consistently work on console. or if it had the DVR features and add ons that you get with MLB.tv. But nah, it's the same **** it's been since like 2018.

Me too. Weird.

YT TV says I have it but it’s unlisted everywhere.

So I did the free trial with the NBA app and I have it up but it’s just showing the logo in the background. Hope at game time the live feed comes on.
