I really hate that Amazon has its mitts in there.
I don’t want to ever buy products from them, so I guess I’ll skip the games on that service. (Or find alternative means)

Feel like it’s still fairly easy to find alternative means thankfully but I do like being able to pause or watch on a slight delay without missing anything so it’s annoying the games are now on 3 different services.
the one benefit amazon may bring is 4k streaming. I hope they crush it in that area and shame the other broadcasters to up their quality too.
Some more info:
Under the new NBA television deals with ESPN, NBC and Amazon Prime, the regular season would feature national telecasts nearly seven days a week, according to sources briefed on the agreements.
The NBA will borrow a page from the NFL, as following the end of football’s regular season, NBC will have the NBA succeed the highest-rated primetime show on television, “Sunday Night Football,” while, on Thursdays, Amazon will do the same after its TNF coverage concludes.
During the entire regular season, Amazon Prime Video is anticipated to have its other games streamed predominantly on Friday nights and Saturdays.
NBC will have games throughout the full NBA season on Tuesdays. Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, is expected to have exclusive telecasts on Mondays. Peacock will also simulcast all the NBC games.
ESPN will slightly cut down on the amount of regular-season games, going from around 100 now to the range of 80. During the NFL season, it will have its games on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with its Saturday night game being its special ABC window. Later in the year, after the NFL, ESPN will have Friday night action, as well.
All three platforms will have playoff games, while Amazon Prime Video will be the home of the In-Season Tournament. Amazon and NBC will alternate showing conference finals. ESPN will have a conference final and the NBA Finals each season.
ugh this is gonna be such a pain in the ass.
