Best Streaming service for NBA games?

Whats the best service to stream NBA games? My internet is pretty bad so the alternate streams dont too well. Id prefer an app/service i can watch on my smart TV. But i only want to pay for one. Whats the best bang for my buck?

I personally sail the high seas since the nba has made streaming options too expensive especially with the blackouts

Man i tried one (ends with east). And my internet was too bad. I live in the middle of nowhere. I think my best option is a subscription. And i dont have a local team so i dont think blackouts affect me. I also have no idea tho. My friends made it sound like its between Max or Youtube TV? Is league pass more expensive?

what makes you think you can stream a legal stream better than an illegal stream? you can often find pirate streams in all sorts of different qualities including shitty ones that would stream better

As i said in another comment. Netflix, Hulu, etc all work fine on my smart tv. When i got on my PC to try "other" streams they wouldnt even buffer.

Plus id rather watch it on my TV than PC/phone.

Streameast is very reliable

i love this one. but my internets too slow at my house. i have to use a streaming service. i know it sounds dumb. But netflix, prime, hulu etc work no problem. Everytime ive tried streameast at my house it wont buffer. Works flawlessly at my friends houses tho

If you have a good data plan, you could try it from your phone with Wi-Fi off. I have watched games there on car trips with very little issue as long as the signal is decent. Small screen does kinda suck though.

Good to know. I will consider it. But would much rather be able to watch on my tv. Even if i have to pay

chromecast to your tv

Yep, adblocker + streameast. If Streameast doesn't have a game I go to one that ends in surge and find a stream there. There's always 10+ sources. Works pretty nicely with the BrowseHere browser on a Google TV, it often fetches the video stream from the page and plays it optimized without even having to fuss with blank pop-up ad whack-a-mole

Right now hbo max gives you the TNT games for free with subscription. Will be around $10 a month in February.

Okay thanks. I actually have TNT still on cable. Is there access to more games than just the TNT ones?

So far I only see the TNT ones. It works for me since I already have max and don’t wanna pay for other stuff.

Is that worldwide?

Hm I’m not sure. I wonder if it’s like Netflix where you are region locked.

I used the one that ends with SURGE. They have a list of sites available but the downside is the regular pop-ups. Otherwise it’s working ok anyway.

YoutubeTV plus league pass

Look at Sling TV. They have a package with League Pass that’s looks pretty competitive and would get the most games.

YouTubeTV. It's the only reason I still subscribe.

We're all out here searching for the one piece my guy
