I’m hoping Amazon has some sort of international market deal. Would be pretty cool for us outside the U.S.

Amazon Prime Video is reportedly already in 240 countries and territories. And, ESPN is going to offer some kind of streaming.
Also Comcast, is going to do half of theirs on Peacock.




NBA nears rights deal worth $76 billion with NBC, ESPN and Amazon, WSJ reports
By Reuters | June 5, 20242:04 PM EDT

https://www.reuters.com/sports/basketball/nba-nears-tv-deals-worth-76-billion-wsj-reports-2024-06-05/
If finalized, ESPN's deal will enable the company to air the games on its direct-to-consumer streaming service, set to launch in 2025, WSJ said, adding that the deal will also include rights to WNBA telecasts.

Gonna piss me off if you have to pay extra for the NBA games on Amazon Prime even if you already have the basic subscription.

If they're following their current setup for NFL (Thursday Night Football), then it might just come free with the Prime subscription, no additional fees. Here's hoping.

I will boycott any games broadcast on Amazon Prime.

Also, wish they dropped ESPN instead of TNT.

Already preparing an excuse if they lose.

They will say Luka was not 100% if Mavs don't win the chip.

I hope the Lakers don't get Hurley. He is one of the best coaches out there. I wanted him here if Mazzulla ever gets fired.

About the injury excuses used by other teams....

Might it be true that the Celtics beat Miami so bad in the regular season, that Jimmy Butler quit on the Heat, far before the playoffs?

Might it be true, that the Celtics beat the Cav's so bad in Game 3, that Donovan Mitchell quit on the Cav's playoff chances, as well?

Might it be true, that Haliburton quit on the Pacers, after being humiliated in game 1, by these very Celtics?

And will Luka be the next to use the built-in excuse of injury, to save face from a potentially embarrassing Finals loss?

This was Brad's vision all along. Ainge just didn't give him the players to execute it.

Attempted it (in terms of talent) when he acquired Hayward and Kyrie but team never really had a chance to find out. Though am not fully convinced Kyrie is open to being part of this type of offense.
