    Unfortunately, they pretty much never give you the option for games on NBA TV.

    Luckily the Miami broadcast team is solid

    I was looking for the rockets broadcast as well on ballstreams, i think since it was an NBA tv game we had no choice. I actually don't mind hearing what other people have to say about the rockets. The Miami broadcasting wasn't bad and gave credit to the Rockets when it was due

    Hearing the announcers for Miami tonight really made me appreciate how bad the Rockets announce team is. The Heat announcers are so much less bias, get genuinely excited when the opposing team (in this case the Rockets) do something great, and don't make nearly as many terrible jokes. They can't say Pumpernickel's name correctly, but since I can't spell it, who am I to criticize that?

    Last night I was flying home from Denver on a United plane equipped with wifi. I was able to watch the game on ballstreams with no freezing.

    Yeah Tony and Eric are the best. I personally know these guys from working at American Airlines Arena in Miami. They are real cool

    I have yet to have choppy issues at all on my hardwired roku or via wifi on my phone. It's like watching a TNT broadcast, all in HD. You guys need to find better streams or something. I'm only on 29 down with Uverse and have zero issues. I forget I'm even watching ballstream. It's like watching it on cable.

    The problem for anyone who is having issues with the stream being choppy is that they have terrible internet service. I have poor-mediocre service and the streams are never in true HD but also are not choppy.

    lol

    Also there is a place on the right that one can click that says "choppy". It gives several ways that the stream can be improved such as disabling ad block.

    I like the Rockets' broadcasters. They are biased... but so what? They aren't calling nationally televised games.

    Home team broadcasters are allowed to be biased.
