NBL TV

Also streamed on Twitter.

After not being able to watch last year's blitz in Gippsland, this is a step up and in the right direction.

However streaming on social channels is great for exposure, but diffcult to translate into a tangible RoI.

They signed a sponsor for the Blitz, maybe a condition of them signing up was this deal with Twitter. Exposure would be the main thing they are after though obviously.

So how do those 'stats' translate to $?

You don't have to have Twitter, you just have to go to the NBL's Twitter page. No login required.

Or you could just go on the twitter link that you dont even need to login for and quit being a whiny bitch?

If you're just going to refuse to go to the site it's available on, I find it difficult to see how that's the NBL's fault.

I'm sure that's perfectly relevant here.

Great, so now alt-right types can't watch NBL on Twitter due to bias which means Labor voters can't watch NBL on Foxtel due to Murdoch's world views. So the league only needs to sign a broadcast deal with enough media platforms to cover all the political ideologys out there according to some. Righty-o then.

The BLITZ has been streamed for around 10 years or so now. Again the NBL pumping something that isn't inventive, the broadcast via Twitter is the new thing.

Lol... always finding something to fracking whinge about, Jesus...

My only concern is the watchability of the games... Not up on the technology enough to know if you can go back to the start of a live stream to watch from there if you miss the start, etc, but if the tech is solid and you don't need to log in, shouldn't be a problem, should it?

"Twiiter CEO got roasted by US Congress for bias against the right wing and rightfully so."

Yeah, and I don't love Twitter for deplatforming them conservatives. But should that stop you from watching a bloody game of basketball? What about Facebook and its data sharing? What about YouTube doing basically the same thing? A lot of you guys just reek of disgruntled small market team fans having a cry because the league isn't all about you anymore.

I notice the NBL TV app has just had an update. Getting ready!

If you don't want to watch them on Twitter just watch them on NBL TV.

The Kings' Thomas is Liam, not Lewis.

Perth will be without Brandt for blitz and NBA tour.
Jervis will step up to start and Kay will see minutes at 5 spot in smaller lineups.

Yes I thought there must have been an error with Lewis Thomas training with the 6'ers.

Twitter is like the old NBL TV. Pathetic.

Is deplatforming or de-platforming a thing?
Do we now ignore media outlets that don't conform to our own biases?

If yes, we now live in a world which we can solely view through the lens of confirmation bias.

George Orwell and Aldous Huxley feared that the future would be one in which a dominant power would enslave a population through control of a central message or ideology. Are they now wrong in that we now have a plurality of views but right in that each person becomes further indoctrinated by their own biased views filtering the information that gets to them?

Or am I reading too much into a Hoops thread?

Hey, UsTaHoop,

re: Or am I reading too much into a Hoops thread?

Just stick to Orwell & Huxley.

I recently read Neil Tyson-de Grasse's "Astrophysics for people in a hurry". Makes more sense than some of the theories found here (and believe me, I am no scientist!).
