Are the Prime playoff & Bucks' games simulcast on other services? If so, I probably have legal access to everything I care about. Otherwise it could be an issue.

Good question. When TNT had Bucks games they were not available anywhere else. When ESPN did Bucks games they were also on FD. For playoffs the first round is, or at least was, also broadcast on FD. Beyond that, no. But this is the first time games have been on streamers.

Hold on you have legal access to the other services but you dont have Prime?

Doesn't pretty much everyone have Prime these days if only for the free delivery? lol

$15 a month for free delivery is highway robbery, especially if you don't use the streaming. Shipping is free if you spend $35. Now if multiple Bucks games end up there the math changes. Not looking forward to needing Fan Duel, Peacock, ESPN and prime to watch Bucks this year. Hoping some of the latter are on Fan Duel.

Prime only makes sense if you do streaming. I think their streaming options are solid. Quite a few good original series and a nice library of other stuff. Anyway, that's for the TV thread. People were upset when sports started moving from broadcast to cable. And now to streaming. Personally I don't care. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea, there are workarounds on the free shipping issue, & just purchasing from Amazon in general. I only occasionally buy from there, then get multiple items, or ask a family member/friend if they need something.

You can do similar things, like splitting, on the other streaming services, even cable w/ their apps. Half these other streaming services have deals, especially on Black Friday, where you can get on a cheap yearly cycle. System-gaming is logistically tough w/ Prime. You either get it, or you don't.

Houston needs to lose draft picks for this.
