    It is a sad day, we have enjoyed watching games together and chatting.

    https://creator.playback.tv/blog/goodbye

    None of the other items are as good, lots of people trying to talk to each other about the game and hope people watch, but nothing as interactive as Playback was and was getting more and more each day.

    I hate it when good ideas have to go, maybe someone will buy them out.

    RIP playback.....my days of hosting for @Clutch are over.

    Hate to hear it @DaDakota. I usually hang out here but enjoyed it when I meandered in from time to time.

    Nobody cares. You think of yourself way to importantly. I don't log in to hear you pat yourself on the back. Go away

    Sorry for those who used it. Personally, enjoy the game threads way more, so I won't even notice it's gone.

    It's what they call TV in the Denvers. Everyone in the Denvers watches it together

    Playback is superior to game threads, It's probably not feasible but if Clutch could build a similar too/interface on CF's that would be amazing, even if it doesn't show the actual game (I imagine getting copy rights to do that is impossible), but the live chat stage with a comment bar is great. Clutch, Manny, Snail all did awesome.

    A youtube live stream might feel similar?

    I know Clutch might have gotten burned out interacting with people for whole games, but damn was it cool.

    Clutch fans has a channel where we all get together and watch the games and comment in real time.

    Out of Business

    actually i have league pass and relied on playback when games were blacked out for whatever reason. I also enjoyed the live chat. Its a bummer.

    That is tough news, it was a great platform. Snail, Manny, and you DD did amazing job with hosting the games. cRo, Fins, PJ Flores were hall of famers in their input.

    Thank you to Snail and Manny whose dedication was greatly appreciated. And a huge thank you to you DDakota for hosting when needed, invaluable game commentary, and your input into keeping the games fun. Honestly I would mute the game time announcers and just listen to you guys!!!!

    Like I said, sorry to those who used it. I personally will not miss it one bit as I never used it. GARM is where it's at.

    That was the fun part about it, the fun comments, the jokes, the humor - some of the rants......just good times.....now gone.

    The whole podcast talking heads thing, is boring when you have actual NBA players doing it now....they have much more insight.......this was a chance for something different to grow, sort of like being in a bar.

    It was a blast....Jackson's sound board, Clutch hosting for 2 years, the various characters that came through - the funny images from CRO....and others....Nah and those comments.....yeah, it was fun...
