I’m excited to announce that Brew Hoop and SB Nation have partnered with the new streaming platform Playback, a really neat way to watch games online with communities like ours. There’s even a way that you can join us for free even if you don’t have a cable or League Pass subscription!
Our friends at CelticsBlog became the first affiliate to roll out their Playback room earlier this year, and after a few months of trial with great success, a number of other SBN NBA affiliates now have channels too. As they put it, it’s similar to ESPN’s Manningcast for NFL games: you can watch the game hearing commentary from other voices around the team or league such as podcasters, writers, media personalities (or perhaps a special guest you may have seen around the site in recent months, hint hint), and maybe some of your favorite Twitter follows.
