And the league

wants fans to stop pirating live feeds?
impossible when you put a playoff game on an expensive, exclusive channel then black it out on league pass.

So every non-KGW game is abc? Or are you calling ESPN abc?

ABC and ESPN are tied together, ABC owns ESPN

're owned by the same company, but what I'm asking is what channel will the games be on locally? Channel 2 or 35/36?

The way it is written it each game wher airtime is listed

will be on both the national outlet and KGW

Yeah..

I don’t have cable (and am aware of the Disney > ABC/ESPN thing), so as ABC itself isn’t listed are we to assume all ESPN games are NOT on KGW and thus unavailable to the rabbit-eared viewers?

They even make it more confusing by calling it ESPN on ABC. I can’t tell you how often I’m like “what?! Stuart Scott on – oh, right. Disney.”

Would be great if the NBA could sort out their radio stream on nba.com

Really don’t want to listen to Rockets commentators all the way through the first round, but the NBA obviously don’t care that Blazers feed on their site constantly dies…

Why don't we "match up well" against Houston?

have trouble stopping Yao and Artest and Battier can stop Roy.

I know it can't be helped

But I wish these games weren’t on so late (I’m on EST). Oh, well…go Blazers! I’m definitely watching this series.

I am a student down at Santa Clara University and a HUGE Blazer fan (NBA League pass so I don’t miss a game). I had access to tickets for the first home game if I could make it home in time for the game, the only problem is I am locked into a Fundraiser dinner Saturday night with my girlfriend (ditched it the past 2 years so there is no getting out)…. So not only can I not make it up to see the first Blazer playoff game in 6 years live, but I wont even be able to watch it on TV!!!!! FML…
