Best way to watch lakers overseas? 

Post#1 » by Tarik_shaq » Sat Jul 21, 2018 8:49 pm

Hello all. I will be moving to Germany Uncle Sam has sent me there to serve our nation. Does anybody here live across the country as well?

Anyways, what is the best approach to watch laker games due to the time difference?

I was looking to pay the maximum for nbaLP to try to catch all games, however im sure there are blackouts to nationally televised games? Is it best i just wake up early to watch the game via streams (reddit)? Should i invest in a website that illegally streams recorded games?

Should i just invest in a cable box just for one channel? Does any widely known american cable service offer online streaming that has DVR? curious to see how most of you guys watch the games.

Any tips would be appreciated!

If you search on reddit there's places where you can find links to watch games. There's also some Russian sites where they archive games on tape delay to watch the next day. I can't post them here as its against RealGM TOS. Just search reddit.

I'm Sydney Aus - I just get NBA league pass $40 a month - you can watch any and every game you like - not just Laker games - although that's all I do watch these days :)

Should i invest in a website that illegally streams recorded games? - If you're going to do that why now just spend on good quality legal streams :)

Should be no black outs for nationally televised games because NBA league pass is localized. I just don't know if they black out games for those that may be televised in Germany.

It might be different in other countries not sure?

But yes for me :)

Edit: not sure about recorded games - but I think you can go back a day or 2 and watch previous ones just played, but never tried :) I would other games b4 Laker games came on if i had time on weekends :) - Laker games don't come on until around 2pm orso depending on time starts, so If I had nothing else to do other games were there to kill time:)

i’m overseas too and been watching Lakers games on NBALP for the past 2-3 years. you can pretty much watch the entire season on there. some games doesnt have Lakers commentators though so you’d have to just bear with the away team’s. but that’s just a handful.

only thing you’re going to miss out on are pre/post game shows, backstage lakers (time warner only), and nba specials like the draft, etc

and yes you can rewatch any previous games at any time. same season for sure, not sure if you can rewatch games from past seasons.

This :D :D

My saviour as well. Games are usually up an hour before the tip-off. Most are 720p 60fps but there are 1080p 60 fps streams as well

Buy the Lakers League Pass, I think it's 60€ full season. This year is a must-buy.

Since its all out in the open, this is what you want. For what its worth, "VelocityRaps" has really good streams on there.
