I agree with you. It is not much enjoyable to watch the games like this. I get bored after watching one or two quarters. I am hopeful about the vaccine. I believe things will start getting back to normal in this year after getting covid-19 vaccine. And we will be able to start watching the games with supporters.

That is what I suggested as well, I know that covid had some mutations and turned into something new, but the reality is that we are looking at something totally related, not like a brand new virus, so the vaccination should be effective for the new one as well. I am not saying it will be as effective, maybe it will be less, who knows if we are lucky maybe even more effective, all I am saying is it can't be totally useless.

In the end we are going to see a lot more fans on stands, but I am not sure if I really miss that, as long as we have basketball, I am fine with no fans, plus I am personally not going anyway because I am not in USA, so why would I care if fans go or not. The only bad part is, teams lose money, and when they lose money they can't pay too well, when they can't pay too well players get poorer and that would be sad because I would want my favorites to get paid well.

What’s everyone’s preferred methods for watching all these games? I see NBATV, league pass, Hulu, TNT, etc. all offering some sort of way to watch games, but it seems insane to pay for all of these different services. Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to watch the most NBA games without breaking the bank?

Agree. I'm also watching free streams on Facebook. Some games might not be streamed by the online streamers, but most of the time top teams like the Lakers,Clippers, Gsw, Milwaukee and etc. will be streamed live at Facebook.
These streamers are being feed by the donators to continue their subscription from the leaguepass, which does make sense than individually paying the whole month of subscription which isn't really worth the pay because you won't be able to see a lot games specially when you have a day job.

There's also websites that offers free NBA live streaming. I just forgot some of these websites, I have already removed my bookmarked links of them.

This is a new site for me, I haven't visit this site before, I hope this one would play the live streaming smoothly.

Thank you for sharing @Febo .. I'm using crackstream actually.

What’s going on with Kyrie Irving and at what point should the league step in? Kyrie is completely disrespecting league covid rules, not keeping his coach in the loop, and seems to be continuing his downward spiral. I can’t imagine just not showing up for work and not giving my boss a reason. I think Kyrie deserves a fine and possibly a suspension without pay to give him a reality check. He’s locker room poison and Steve Nash is having his coaching skills tested right off the bat.

It's just a rumor but I think the league may stop for a week or two https://www.nba.nbcsports.com/2021/01/11/report-nba-considering-halting-games-for-7-14-days/amp/ this violations from player/s I think will be the cause to get stricter again. Well, I think they can cope but was there no vaccine yet to protect this athletes?

He will surely get reprimanded or at least a fine for violating the leagues Covid rules. And him missing in action is one sign that I would say he is guilty. And the NBA might implement stricter health protocols specially for this high caliber athletes. First it was James Harden and not Kyrie Irving, these guys needs discipline and not think that they are somewhat 'protected'.

He loss 464,722.22 usd, huge money, some NBA players are just even earning a very small salary, I'm not sure if there are players who are play $400,000 per season, and yet in Irving's case, that's only one game. Lucky guy with so much talent.
