I genuinely couldn't believe it, they cut off suddenly and started playing right as when Dame was shooting a free throw with a little over 8 minutes left, felt like someone at the station forgot the game was on, freaked and flipped the switch. Insane.

They did this with the Hawks game yesterday too during the In Season tournament. There was a coach's challenge or something at the end of the quarter, but they chose to run an ad segment instead of showing the free throw and then the final shot which was ridiculous.

Bally so fucking trash.

[–] SeasonalRot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

All I’m hearing is Bally Sports rocks

[–] eelposse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Last year instead of the final Magic/Heat game of the regular season, Bally Sports FL played a rerun of an old Serena Williams match. I get the game was at like 1PM which is a weird time, but come on.

Not surprised when I hear this BS any more.

You got to know when to hold ‘em Know when to fold Em

NBA should be embarrassed that they let Bally and cable gate keep the NBA from their fans

They should of stepped in and paid a buyout or whatever and took out the blackout for league pass or made a deal with with a streaming cable service

Bally is miserably bad, their app is glitchy, and they make it very difficult for small market teams to build fanbases.

[–] IndyPoker979@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I only hope that Bally's is so bad that everyone follows the Phoenix Suns lead and creates a product that reaches its local market. NBA games should be free to watch with massive ad support.

How was the poker tournament though?

Damn this is crazy

[–] e_j3210@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I watched the whole game on Bally Sports Southwest.

Bally sports is the worst.

[–] OutlookNotGood@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Bally is so bad that I get angry when I have to pirate one of their streams. Can’t imagine actually paying for their garbage content.

[–] Frosty_McRib@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do you think people buy cable just for Bally Sports? Nobody "pays for" their content, they're just a thing that unfortunately exists.

[–] Aggravatinog8017@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do I purposely go out of my way to turn on poker, no. But when it’s on, it’s enjoyable.

[–] Bucksin06@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Am I the only one that can't even cut a watchable feed, what do I pay for?

[–] Kindly-Inspector-733@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It really is...

[–] endless_8888@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Honestly who the fuck watches poker? I can only picture a caricature of sorts.

[–] medspace@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I enjoy watching poker. Do I purposely go out of my way to turn on poker, no. But when it’s on, it’s enjoyable.

[–] PokerPlayingRaccoon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Poker nerds lol. I mean, it’s just like anything. If you’re a fan of something you’re gonna absorb content related about it. As a poker player, I don’t really go out of my way to watch it on tv, but I will watch poker streams from the hustler or the WSOP when it comes around. Helps ur game watching good players play and see different hand situations. It’s a whole world of characters, just like people have their fav NBA players ppl have their favorite poker players

[–] ProfessorTicklebutts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Poker is interesting as hell, but because you don’t get it the people who do like it must be trash, huh? Typical.

[–] 3s2ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You didn't miss much. Just Luka doing Luka things. Giannis with a smug after a dunk and a great block.

[–] Next-Firefighter-753@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Par for the course with Bally

[–] ElectricalMud2850@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When Minnesota United matches were still being broadcast by bally, once they showed some old dudes fishing for the entire first half of a match. What a shambolic product.

[–] here_for_the_lols@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know what ballysports is but I know it fucken sucks

[–] sv_trader@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I dont respect poker, too many flops

[–] here_for_the_lols@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] AIMRob3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Jaybold@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] StriveForBetter99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] girth_br00ks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bally sucks ass. I am in Spurs region(Austin) and i get Mavs games on TV. Have to log on to their dumbass website to watch the actual team that they're supposed to be showing me.

[–] Eldenrangz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

if you gamble then youre a dumbass

[–] Sioux_preme@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They sucked to begin with, but now they have zero incentive to be anything other than hot garbage.

I pay for Bally because all the streaming sites are malware breeding grounds, but even with that in mind it’s tempting to 🏴‍☠️.

It’s crazy how an entire company can work it’s way into a position to host all local broadcasts and absolutely suck ass on every level. It should be an FCC violation of some sort IMO.
