I’m east coast and it sucks. I couldn’t even imagine being in your situation. Sorry brotha
Thats rough, im lucky here in aus the games are during the day so i can usually watch them between splitshifts. But i have the same issue with almost every F1 race being at an unwatchable time.
Main reason I dropped all my streaming services. Every game I want to watch end at midnight or later. NBA lost a viewer of over 30 years due to all the required apps, late games, and blackouts.
FFS 🙁
It’s a highlight league didn’t you hear? Just go on da tik tok
Sorry man
Not gonna lie, I kinda miss waking up at 5am and see “All possessions” in the NBA app
Sucks for Dallas ppl too but at least they/yall are on national tv a lot 🫡
UK here- I can still fit the games in. sometimes sacrificing some sleep. if I ever need to sleep through that night I just watch the replay first thing when I wake up. Have been doing it for years.
It’s about to be a looooong season
That does not phase me. As someone who has been watching formula 1 for a decade plus, I fucking get up at 330 am sometimes to watch a race.
Come to the west coast and visit!
The NBA isn’t meant to be watchable live for Europe.
Eh it’s usually been a bitch to watch Premier League and Champions League and the like 😅
What part of Europe are you? Usually I wake up at 6am and I’m able to catch the start of the 4th quarter while drinking my morning coffee
I mean, on the one hand, yeah. But what do you expect them to do, have the games at 10 in the morning Pacific Time?
Nz + Aussie Laker fans
4 am in Italy…
So the Lakers should cater to their Europeans fans instead of you know, the fans in and near Los Angeles? What?
That game is gonna start around 10:08 pm.

I know a majority of people can’t help but get spoiled, or simply want to watch it live, but whenever I miss a game I try to avoid the scoreline until I can watch a replay, and with that you can skip all the commercials and free throws, it can be pretty great sometimes. For the uninitiated, If you google NBA Replay you find some pretty great options near the top if I remember right, theres also a list of sport replay sites over in the r/Piracy megathread if you look hard enough, but if you need any help with that you can DM me. Also, make sure you have a solid adblocker for obvious reasons, my parents always forget that part
