[…] doing what we’ve been doing: refreshing online box scores and listening to the live feed (as suggested in the comments, sign up on NBA.com for free live feeds all season). And, of course, leaving our thoughts in the […]

Oh, wow, it is free all year now.
That’s way better than when I could only listen to Sioux Falls SkyForce games for free.

WDFN shuts their stream down just before the game, I assume because the NBA wants to force you to subscribe to their league pass>>

All audio feeds (radio) of NBA games in totally free on NBA Access

Just create an an account (no charge) under NBA Access on the main NBA webpage, link at the bottom of the page.

Then go to the game on NBA.com and click on listen. After you have logged in you can listen to any game you want live and listen to either team’s broadcasters.

The only problem with it is.

When the Pistons start their game later than everyone else you may not be able to get logged in as their bandwidth will be full. So what you have to do to listen to our later games is to log in before the early games, click on a game to get the feed and if you don’t want to listen just turn the volume down. Then when the Pistons game comes on just click over to it and you are good to go.

I really think the NBA needs to offer live video feeds of games like baseball does, even if it is for a fee. I live in Los Angeles and while I get FSN Detroit, both the Tigers and Pistons games are blacked out.

WDFN shuts their stream down just before the game, I assume because the NBA wants to force you to subscribe to their league pass. I used the NBA.com streaming audio, which you have to sign up for, but you don’t need to pay for, unless you wanted to hear the regular season games.

The sound quality is a little wonky, but it was Blaha all last night. Beware, you may end up with the Milwaukee broadcast team, whoever that would be. Frank Brickowski?

All you needed was your email, basically, and just be sure to uncheck boxes so you don’t get all their junk flooding your mailbox.

Wth? This game isn’t going to be televised either? The NBA is trying to destroy the Pistons’ faithful community.
