Anyone know what nationally televised games are not blacked out?



Hi all,

Another season is almost here, another year of standing my ground and not signing up for Spectrum or DirecTV streaming (I like YouTube TV).

I know that the Lakers have a ton of nationally televised games, but I also know a lot of those games are blocked out if you live in Los Angeles. I’ve checked [the schedule](https://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/lal/seasontype/2) and know that:

* NBAtv games are a no go
* ESPN games are usually OK
* ABC games are always good

But I know TNT is a crap-shoot. I’ve cleared my schedule, asked my wife to handle dinner, and sat down on the couch only to see the “blacked out” nonsense and then fiddled with not understanding how to work the illegal sites.

Wondering if anyone, ANYONE has a list of games we can watch on TV in Los Angeles without Spectrum.

    Also a question for anyone who knows….I have YouTube TV with League Pass (not in the LA market), but I can’t watch the Spectrum feed if NBATV is showing our opponents feed and I’m even forced to watch certain national broadcasts even for games that I know Spectrum is doing for that night as well.

    It’s super frustrating having to listen to shitty commentators.

    Just go buy a fire stick ($20) and jailbreak it (which is going into the settings and toggling one button), download Kodi (google Troy Point, step by step guide), and download The Crew onto the Kodi. Easy.

    The one advantage of living in nyc. I also live in this weird area where the nets are blocked but somehow the knicks aren’t? But just being able to log on to league pass and get laker games is worth the 1 am game finishes
