I guess you'd be forced to stream the game.

I have directtv.

Then all you're waiting for is for them to sign a deal. Like the rest of us.

It's DAY 2 of this BULLSHIT

Somehow I'm more worried though because Dirrectv is a national provider and not a local one so they might not be priority?

**Cris** · 10-02-2012, 07:55 PM

There is still too much at stake for them not to get it done. They are a lot of viewers who would be willing to pay the $3.95 extra per month to get it.

**Laker Freak** · 10-02-2012, 09:21 PM

I wouldn't be to confident that a deal will get done for every cable provider. The Padres have had a similar deal with Cox since March and they still haven't come to an agreement with any other providers. Now obviously the Lakers fan base is much larger than the Padres so that will put more pressure to get it done but don't get your hopes up.

**Cris** · 10-02-2012, 09:56 PM

Well the alternative in this case is completely ditching cox all together, which I'm sure they don't want.

I'm hopeful, but probably wont be seeing any laker games on tv until the end of this month. You have to think that advertisers aren't going to pay up fully until they know the distribution is there too.

First set of agreements are reached.

So at least they are talking with companies and being reasonable.

Can I get Bright House in Bakersfield?

Honestly if they don't have an agreement with Directv by the 15th I will ditch them for a provider they do have.

You the man, you're like an improved version of Basel.

Man I'm excitied about going to this game Sunday... who would of thought I would be looking so forward to a preseason game... probably because I know it's the only way I'll see it.

**Seuss** · 10-05-2012, 08:16 PM

I've been thinking about grabbing tickets for the game at Honda Center. This is one of those teams that you'll tell your kids about, "I saw them play." Even if it just a preseason game.

Well I get them for free, my work has a suite in Fresno (and one in Staples... but there is more demand for those games). I paid to go to a preseason game in 1996 when we just got Shaq and told myself never again.

**Cris** · 10-05-2012, 08:50 PM

I got free tickets to a Veteran vs Rookie game at UCSB when they held their training camp here. I was like 3 rows behind Shaq and Kobe but god was that a bad game.

**Cris** · 10-07-2012, 10:46 AM

First preseason game tonight... I won't be watching!
