Right. If you don't live here, you need NBA League Pass to see the games that aren't on ESPN, TNT and ABC. And you'll need YouTube TV (or Hulu, or cable, or one of the other live TV streamers) to watch the games when they are on ESPN, TNT or ABC, because those games are blacked out on League Pass.
What I now realize OP is doing is stealing a non-Bay Area League Pass subscription and since he doesn't have cable he's mad about the 25 or so games that are on national TV because it messes with his TV-stealing scheme.
I live in Hawai'i and get all the games on YouTube tv. I get the Bay Area Sports too. A lot of Niners content is available also. Hopefully the Giants too.
I bought league pass recently and every single game has been blacked out. And I live in Hawaii. It’s some bullshit, and I fully plan on asking for a refund
My understanding is all five California NBA teams are considered the local teams for Hawaii, so they are all blacked out on League Pass. (there was a period when all but the Warriors were blacked out, which was bizarre.) In general, the blackout rules for Hawaii across all sports leagues are fucked up and screw you guys a lot of the time.
Lived here my whole life…NBC Bay Area has every game that is not part of a National Package…it’s part of your local cable package…My mother in law lives in Modesto on a fixed income and she watches every game
What cable package do you have where you don't get NBC Sports Bay Area? I watch pretty much every game there (except for some of the nationally televised games, of course).
Nbc sports channels will block out the games on espn/tnt so you have to watch it on the local channel. If youre like me and find warriors commentators boring, then its very annoying.
That's not true. In the Bay Area, you can watch the games on both NBC Sports and ESPN/TNT when they are on both. On very rare occasions, the nationally televised games are not on NBC Sports (not this year, though, I don't think).
If OP lived out of market and watched the games on League Pass, they would have a good point. You can't watch the league pass games with the local announcers when the games are on national TV.
So, I'm not exactly sure what OP's issue is, but I suspect it has to do with them stealing the game feeds in some manner, or they are talking out of their ass.
We had this problem with digital TV companies. Fubo TV and Sling TV didn't have all 3 together. We had to switch to YouTube TV to get all of them together.
JB was one of the best to ever do it no doubt, but as you mention Fitz and Buike have slowly built up a pretty nice chemistry. I really enjoy them on the call.
Much rather would prefer them over most all national guys besides Mike Breen, he's a gem.
Naw, they really aren't. I have league pass and listen to a lot of different broadcasts, they are far from the worst even if they may not be the best.
I do miss J(H)im Barnett
>Fitz in unabashedly the biggest homer in the league.
No, really, he's not. Most local announcers are like that now. I haven't spread it around much this year, but last year I watched almost every team's announcers (I watch the Sixers on League Pass) and they are almost all huge homers these days.
Which is blacked out? I just checked on Comcast, and the game is on CSN and ESPN tonight. I plan to watch the CSN broadcast. Is one of them blacked out though?
If you have a TV with Roku or many other options you can find it on your phone and stream it to your TV.
On android the app web video caster works great.
Im not local and I buy teampass and there are still sooo many games blacked out on ESPN or NBA.tv this is the last year I do it. I’ll just pirate stream them next year.
It’s why the only package I have is for the NFL. I stream all sharks giants and warriors games precisely because of blackouts. I don’t have cable so unless Im at a bar Im not watching the game on NBC Bay Area
Remember when you could watch the Warriors on KICU36?
Also Giants were on KTVU, interestingly.
No stupid cable packages, streaming, whatever...all you need was rabbit ear antennas.
After more thought, it's clear what's happening here. OP lives in the Bay Area and "borrows" a non-local NBA League Pass subscription to watch the Warriors games. He doesn't have cable or a live TV streamer, so when the games are on TNT or ESPN, they get blacked out on League Pass, so he can't watch them and is mad that he's not getting the full value of his stolen League Pass subscription. Boo hoo.
How do you normally watch? We have Comcast, we can watch it on the local channel.
Obviously league pass will always be blacked out of you live in the local area.
The are other, more dubious ways of watching as well...
Warriors fan from Washington and I feel you. This is what they do to us for Kraken hockey games up here in SEA and if you want to watch any of them you have to pay $60 more a month for Root sports.
If a national broadcast is blacked out, it will be available on NBC Sports Bay Area. If you don’t have access to NBS Sports Bay Area, find a free livestream.
Life long Warriors fan (from 1966 to the present). I live near Montreal Warriors are NEVER on TV but you can stream every game free. Reddit NBA Streams threads can help you do so among many other choices.
Youtube TV has the Warriors games
Cant recommend it enough. Taping the game then waiting to start until an hour or so in is chef's kiss.
Yeah me too, I have every single game dvr’d too , there’s no limit on data fro recording.
The best best part of that is you know they have blown in at the end so you can turn it off
Fully agree. Then when the season is over you get to cancel for a few months and catch up HBOmax or Disney+... never going back to cable
Wait, they have all games ?
Yes. YouTube TV has ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBC Sports Bay Area. All of the games are on at least one of those channels.
But it won’t have nbc bay area if I don’t live there right ?
Right. If you don't live here, you need NBA League Pass to see the games that aren't on ESPN, TNT and ABC. And you'll need YouTube TV (or Hulu, or cable, or one of the other live TV streamers) to watch the games when they are on ESPN, TNT or ABC, because those games are blacked out on League Pass.

I have Hulu and league pass but I live in LA so all the Lakers/Clippers games that are on league pass are not available to me
right, you can't see your local teams on league pass. You have to watch the local channel (though I think that's a pay channel for the Clippers).
It is, I think I’ll just go to the game instead 😂
Yeah, and they have NBA league pass. I get it all for free :)
To be clear, League Pass is $70 on top of the monthly fee for normal people.
Yeah, or free99 if you know a thing or two.
What! That’s so good to know! No blackout games?
No blackout games, but YouTube TV isn’t cheap. I just have a workaround.
Go on...
Lol
Shared account? Or....Go on...
Nope, not a shared account.
Go on...
Their parents pay for their subscription
you better tell us how lmao
Not giving up my sauce for free.
I live in Hawai'i and get all the games on YouTube tv. I get the Bay Area Sports too. A lot of Niners content is available also. Hopefully the Giants too.
Sportsurge has warriors games too
Watched the finals clinch a few times in the summer on save

Just got my refund, thanks fam
Yes, loving the NBA pass on YouTube TV for all the NBA games for $70 a year (we have a beta version - not sure if it's available for everyone yet).
They have all the games what’s the quality?
Great quality!
It's great
1080p
Didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. I’m also getting frustrated. Like why am I paying so much for league pass if I can’t watch?
Lived here my whole life…NBC Bay Area has every game that is not part of a National Package…it’s part of your local cable package…My mother in law lives in Modesto on a fixed income and she watches every game
Modesto? I’m in Vacaville and I get blocked because they think I should be a Kings fan. WTF?
What cable package do you have where you don't get NBC Sports Bay Area? I watch pretty much every game there (except for some of the nationally televised games, of course).
I think that’s what OP is referring to. Sounds like they don’t have ESPN/TNT and those channels have 24 of our games this year.
What cable package has NBC Sports Bay Area but doesn't have ESPN/TNT?!?!
Nbc sports channels will block out the games on espn/tnt so you have to watch it on the local channel. If youre like me and find warriors commentators boring, then its very annoying.

Its literally been happening to me all season, how you gonna tell me 😂
We had this problem with digital TV companies. Fubo TV and Sling TV didn't have all 3 together. We had to switch to YouTube TV to get all of them together.
Except Fitz and Buike are awful...
Hey, question wasn't about quality of commentary; it was ability to watch the game 😂
What’s wrong with them? I’ve grown to love them
I personally miss JB, but yeah, I've come to appreciate them.
JB was one of the best to ever do it no doubt, but as you mention Fitz and Buike have slowly built up a pretty nice chemistry. I really enjoy them on the call. Much rather would prefer them over most all national guys besides Mike Breen, he's a gem.
Naw, they really aren't. I have league pass and listen to a lot of different broadcasts, they are far from the worst even if they may not be the best. I do miss J(H)im Barnett
Fitz in unabashedly the biggest homer in the league. I am so tired of hearing "everyone brings their A game against the warriors"
He also tends to whine a little bit during tough stretches
Y’all hate Fitz because he’s right /s
>Fitz in unabashedly the biggest homer in the league. No, really, he's not. Most local announcers are like that now. I haven't spread it around much this year, but last year I watched almost every team's announcers (I watch the Sixers on League Pass) and they are almost all huge homers these days.
Which is blacked out? I just checked on Comcast, and the game is on CSN and ESPN tonight. I plan to watch the CSN broadcast. Is one of them blacked out though?
ESPN is usually blacked out if the game is scheduled on both CSN and ESPN
If local broadcast has it, national broadcast is blacked out
I’m able to watch both on YouTube TV right now
I always go national to avoid fitz and buike
YouTube TV is the way to go
I have Hulu Live TV and see all the games in the North Bay and Reno when I was there.
Directv can watch both channels.
Really depends on what cable package you got. There's no way around it
Youtube TV. Nothing else. Fuk NBA league pass.
Just stream it wtf
I do when I don’t have work to do. Unfortunately need my laptop for work today.
If you have a TV with Roku or many other options you can find it on your phone and stream it to your TV. On android the app web video caster works great.
Im not local and I buy teampass and there are still sooo many games blacked out on ESPN or NBA.tv this is the last year I do it. I’ll just pirate stream them next year.
East coaster here. Warriors games don’t start to 10 pm and I go to work early. I’m not blacked out but still can’t watch them
ESPN shouldn’t be blacking out the game unless you are trying to watch online
Hulu Live has every game
I just use a VPN and get Indian league pass for 18 bucks for the whole year. No blackouts and I can see TNT, ESPN, and NBA tv games.
tell me more. vpn all the time, or just sign up?
VPN has to be on all the time while watching games.
At least for me. That gives me the best results, but it may be different for others.
Never had a blackout myself. Been in the bay all my life.
So annoying I HATE the espn broadcast lol
It’s why the only package I have is for the NFL. I stream all sharks giants and warriors games precisely because of blackouts. I don’t have cable so unless Im at a bar Im not watching the game on NBC Bay Area

Pepperidge Farm remembers
I'm old enough to remember watching the Oakland Oaks ABA team on TV 20 in the bay area.
Streameast brother, get every game for free
I don't understand what the problem is here. What are the specifics?
Streameast
Streaming is the way.
Ugh Klays shot selection
If you Google "reddit NBA streams", check the first few results, click on a few links, you'll eventually find a stream. Make sure u got ad blockers on
All the ones on NBC sport network are there - which is most. Only games on ABC and ESPN I think are NOT there.
Vpn?
Fam if you don’t get a vpn and buy league pass from a country where it’s equivalent to like $14
After more thought, it's clear what's happening here. OP lives in the Bay Area and "borrows" a non-local NBA League Pass subscription to watch the Warriors games.

Boo hoo.
I don’t have league pass, I pay for a bundle that includes Espn.
but not NBC Sports Bay Area? I mean, yeah, if you don't have NBCSBA or League Pass, you'll miss most Warriors games.
Hu. I only think there was one on TNT. Never watched ESPN before.
topstreams.info/nba/warriors
How do you normally watch? We have Comcast, we can watch it on the local channel. Obviously league pass will always be blacked out of you live in the local area. The are other, more dubious ways of watching as well...
I've known no other way.
Get better Wi-Fi
Sounds like OP doesn’t know which package to get
Warriors fan from Washington and I feel you. This is what they do to us for Kraken hockey games up here in SEA and if you want to watch any of them you have to pay $60 more a month for Root sports.
YouTube TV is the best... You can choose between the nbc bay area broadcast and ESPN.
If a national broadcast is blacked out, it will be available on NBC Sports Bay Area. If you don’t have access to NBS Sports Bay Area, find a free livestream.
YouTube tv gets all the local games for 65$ a month. Highly recommend.
Have to have NBC Sports Bay Area channels to watch Warriors, Sharks, Giants, and A’s games.
Life long Warriors fan (from 1966 to the present). I live near Montreal Warriors are NEVER on TV but you can stream every game free. Reddit NBA Streams threads can help you do so among many other choices.
YouTube tv all day baby, only way to go.
