Gameday Open Thread: Pistons vs. Blazers--Pre-Game

Welcome to your Gameday Thread for the evening. This is your place to comment on and discuss the night's events. This pre-game version is all about the lead-up, predictions, and what have you.
Also I'd like to update you on a couple changes to the way we're looking at Gameday Threads as Site Editors and Mods. Actually this philosophy has been around for a while but we haven't spelled it out specifically. Now we are.
Change #1: The moderators for the site work on a volunteer basis and the editors are busy scribbling notes and talking to people in the know during the game. That means we can't guarantee that these threads will be policed in real time. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. In essence we're leaving you the keys to the crib and inviting you to make yourselves at home. Our hope is that you enjoy watching the game with each other just as if you were in our living room. It's no fun at all to come home and find the place trashed though. We're investing a certain level of trust in you, that you're going to take care of the site while participating. Most people get that. Some don't.
I have instructed the mods to go ahead and dis-invite the people who have trouble with that concept. We try to give as much benefit of the doubt as possible at this site. We'll probably give less in these threads for a while. Nobody's going to over-react to things said in the heat of the moment during a crucial part of a game. But if people are consistently aggressive, rude, or just seem to be here to spout off or troll instead of engaging in real conversation then Gameday Threads are probably not for them. They're ruining the living room for everyone else. This includes, as always, people who engage in attacking others (including, by the way, the attack of, "I'm sick of people being so negative!" which in itself is negative and hurts the conversation). If you don't like something somebody else said either skip over it or flag it if you think it violates site policy. The mods are going to need some help with gray-area decisions and your flags are the best indicator of how a comment or commenter is affecting the community. You help both us and the site by making it easy and obvious to distinguish trolling behavior from the rest. Flagging it and staying out of it otherwise is the best way to do that.
You're going to have to be a little patient. As I said, we aren't always modding in real-time. But if we come back and an obviously over-the-top comment went red with a dozen flags both it and the person who made it are going to be taken care of.
Change #2: The streaming video link thing has run its course. Actually we never officially sanctioned that, as it is ethically shady, but we weren't always quick to weigh in as we'd usually not see it until after the thread was finished and taken down anyway. But a couple things are happening now. First the Blazers are taking steps to make online streams a reality and even though that's in it's infancy we need to respect it legally, morally, and otherwise. Second, conversation surrounding such links is becoming overwhelming and distracting from our real purpose here. Our policy is that either asking for or giving a link to such a site, whether done overtly or not-so-cleverly-disguised, is not allowed on Blazersedge. I've instructed the mods not to impose penalities on the first night this has been officially proclaimed unless someone really goes overboard. But from this point forward anyone posting or asking for a link will be warned and, if the offense is repeate
d, banned.
I know this second issue affects some of you deeply. As always I am happy to discuss these policies via e-mail, which is listed at the bottom of every post I write. If you have a question or concern, feel free to write and I will answer as best I can from the point of view of the site.
With that out of the way, on to the game! Blazers vs. Pistons tonight. Trap or triumph? Weigh in below.

Wow
Blazersedge has succumbed to Comcast
Sadly true. But more likely they succomed to the Blazers Organization who (while villanizing Comcast) signed the deal with Comcast and now plan to gouge those of us who have no other choice than to watch online or not at all. I bet Dave and Ben have never lived in a blocked out area, it’s frustrating to hear them make statements (“ethically shady”) when they have no clue what they are talking about. If there were another viable option to watching the game other than staring at my laptop and trying to follow a lagging feed I would do it. Dave and Ben, if you care to listen, Comcast does not reach Southern Oregon, NBA tv blacks out southern oregon, only kgw games are online. What would you like us to do that meets your ethical standards. I would love to hear you come up with a better option.
If you don’t like something somebody else said either skip over it or flag it
with an exphasis on the first option. Why can’t people just not read something if they know it will offend them.

I Blame the Blazers mainly
I am frustrated with Dave for taking their side. I understand that he has to do what he is forced to do but I don’t like to be called unethical for watching games online when that is what the Blazers have forced me to do.

liability issues
DMCA, patriot act, etc.
The liability on BEdge for actions on the site is still fuzzy. As the most dominant fan base on the intertubes, this site is a ripe target for greedy lawyers to try to establish case law using our fans as an example. Much better to be safe than sorry.
Issues of morality, legality, responsibility, and liability are rarely resolved with reason and forethought. Just lobbyists and lawyers using suboptimal processes to achieve suboptimal results.
We fans will continue to find ways to circumvent the irrationality of the big businesses. Eventually they will be forced to learn. Hopefully they are proactive unlike the music business. For example, I would gladly pay for league pass broadband if there were no blackouts.

no call to hate on dave and ben
they’d stream ’em free if they could, you know that.
they are between a legal rock and a hard place, people need to be understanding, supportive, and appreciative of what BE does bring.

Just sayin
Legally, I’m not sure they would be liable for what someone else say’s in their blog anyway. I think they must be feeling some heat from the Blazers and are afraid to lose any special access they might be getting. I am just trying to call them out for essentially saying that people are unethical when they watch the game online even though the Blazers and Comcast have given them no other option.

I would be for not enforcing that rigorously since many people just want to watch the game and have no other access
But the constant LINK? now in the “improved” combination with WHAT’S THE PASSWORD? has got to go. T
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
One of the other Blazer sites should get into the facilitation of links... There are quite a number of Blazer sites out there...
I will note, from conversation I’ve had with others, that the NBA is really trying to crack down on illegal streams this year and that Justin.TV streams are getting shut down within 30 minutes this year. Which is their right, obviously, although one would hope they figure out how to make ALL games part of their LPBB package in the short-to-medium term, instead of just the “out of market” games.
Comcast really sucks and it’s too bad that BE is in the position of effectively carrying their water by shutting down the links provision — but I do have to agree that it was becoming obnoxious with all the “LINK? LINK? LINK?” “PASSWORD? PASSWORD? PASSWORD?” chatter.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
also, LP should get you nationally-televised games. People buy LPBB so they don’t have to worry about having a tv. NBAtv in particular is stupid.
i cry for nic
Can you see the tnt espn abc and nbatv games live on the international versions of their channels?
Or is it a matter of those channels not having broadcasting rights for those games in your region?
No, all on ILP
ESPN America has no NBA rights, and yes if you are in a country where a channel has rights to certain games those games will be blocked out even if it’s a pay-tv channel or a channel not everyone can get just like in the US.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
Seriously
How bout people watching and refusing to care about others will now be banned from watching? That would be nice.
Yes, this would seem to be true. If you're looking for links and are reasonably clever, it shouldn't be a huge trick to still score links...

I am an ethical and moral swampland ...
Some pathes of dry ground, but mostly murk and muck. Also, I live overseas in a psudeo-communist country. I depend heavily on the vastly illegal and ethically soggy pirate feeds, and I have long leaned too hard on BEdge to give me the heads up on them. Being a skallywag (sp?) at heart means being resourceful if nothing else. Thus I accept Dave’s new rule. It will clean up a lot of the begging and moaning and make the threads here more fun. We’ve out grown that stage.
Find your own ill-gotten pirate booty and enjoy.
Game on. Go Blazers!

Approximately what percentage of the comments are people asking for/giving the links and passwords? It looks like somewhere between 1-5% but that’s me just guessing. This could end up making us Blazer fans look less fanatical, and right after Bill Simmons called us crazy. We need to conform to the stereotype!

can we talk seattle blackout rules for a second?
I’m in Seattle … if I get league pass, will my blazer games be blacked out?
You might try asking in the JD later
This thread will probably move too fast and people will miss this question. A few folks from the JD are from Seattle and have dealt with this. They may not be able to help, but it’s worth a shot.
Another Bedger, Cablinasian I believe, would be the guy to ask about
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
at this point, games on CSN are blacked out. You will oddly get KGW games, though. At least I do.
There is no recourse.
i cry for nic
Is it true that some areas of Seattle are getting CSN and other parts do not?
I can’t remember what the verdict was on that.
some parts of seattle are eligible to receive Blazers.com streaming, some are not, from what I gather. The entire city appears to be blacked out of CSN.
i cry for nic
This is based on the logic that I could get a ticket and drive to Portland after work to see a game? That doesn’t seem very realistic.
no, it’s based on the fact that CSN is broadcast in some areas of Seattle. As it is on local television, it’s a local market.
i cry for nic
Based on what you were told, does this sound like a remnant of the Sonics departure?
Something they hope to fix long-term to make sure Seattle can see games? Or is this a permanent quagmire?
it has nothing to do with the Sonics. It is based solely on CSN games now being locally available in the Seattle area. Seattle is now, and for the forseeable future, a Seattle market.
Unfortunately, Seattle is a fragmented cable market and Comcast is available in only parts of the city.
i cry for nic
I'm in SEA and I get games on Comcast
Not sure why, and hope this doesn’t jinx it!
We live in North Seattle and we seem to get all the games, usually Blazers Broadcasting, usually on CSN on ch 179.
Occasionally games will be on ch 115, listed as “US” which a litte reasearch shows to be Universal Sports, the NBC all-Olympic-sports channel, is now available in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
And of course, nationally broadcasted games, like on TNT, are shown on Comcast as well.

“First the Blazers are taking steps to make online streams a reality and even though that’s in it’s infancy we need to respect it legally, morally, and otherwise.”
Yeah, until it’s actually good, then maybe we can support it.
League Pass games are blacked out. Blazers streaming costs $3.99 and is terrible. Lots of us are foreigners. Until there is a valid and legal option, streams are going to reign supreme.
And honestly, what true purpose is asking for links defeating here… thousands of posts screaming “TRADE PLAYER X” every time they make a bad play? It’s a gameday thread… does anyone actually read it? At least make the threads useful as a place to gather some valid links.
Last year there often was one good link, people recommended it so it became green, and that was that. You could scroll up and get it. In the last few games, the best link was password protected, leading to constant requests for giving out the password, and when the “creator” of the stream asked to only distribute that by email people were posting email addresses. That was quite annoying, and I doubt it served a purpose to really protect the feed against deletion or overrun.

legally
BE may never actually incur liabilty, however, comcast or nba lawyers could make life hell for Dave and cause the site to be taken down for a while or whatnot. It’s def better to avoid all that.

You would be surprised at what isn’t allowed according to NBA lawyers. Technically/legally you aren’t even allowed to link to anything other than NBA.com and teamsites like NBA.com/blazers. Yup, not even to player profiles or a video. Why? No idea, if lawyers ruled the world…

it's to build a case
Before they need it. It’s complicated, but what matters is what they intend to enforce. They may want to enforce that whole streaming vids thing because to do otherwise may be a breach of fiduciary duty to the exclusive vendors.

There is no excuse for Charlie the hairless wonder to have Aldridge-like numbers.
Step it up LMA!

I wouldn't mind LA's play
if the blazers weren’t paying him so much.

Holy crap. Has anybody accidentally scrolled over the ad in the top right corner? The most annoying thing ever…
Just a note
on the legality/morality aspect:
When I said “we” need to consider and respect the legality and/or morality of the situation I was literally referring to “we” as in “the people who run Blazersedge”. This wasn’t the “we” as in “me and you and all of us folks in the world”. You are perfectly free to take any actions you want with regards to streaming. In fact I think it’s a complete crime that the Blazers aren’t available everywhere in Oregon and I have great empathy for folks who want/need to stream. However that doesn’t absolve me of the need/duty to put on my other hat as proprietor of the site and as such, Blazersedge needs to respect the morality and legality of this situation the same way we want it respected when other people take our stuff without us getting any credit (which happens often). You are free to get whatever links you want, you just can’t get them on Blazersedge nor share them using this site.
—Dave
On that note, I owe you an apology
for taking you out of context. I completely agree with your point, and as the proprietor of the site this is probably long overdue considering the risks. However, I was one of the many who thought “we” = “all”, which I now see was not the meaning.
