Jazz @ Suns Fri. Oct. 9th at 8pm MDT

The Suns' organization sucks. Instead of having a great ownership family model like the Jazz, they've got like 100 owners with different pieces of the pie. My ex-wife's boss was one of them, and he was a real tool who knew nothing about basketball, or it's business. Point of the story? I wouldn't be surprised if there arena was one day and Arena inside a casino, instead of sponsored by one.

It's where the Suns play....... probably a little south of 20K. It's not an actual Casino with a basketball arena, it's a basketball arena sponsored by a Casino.

Yep, formerly US Airways Arena. Indian Casinos now own Arizona. . .

I understand it may be against a rule or some line in a contract.

I'm missing the rationale of that rule. If Root Sports isn't going to play this game at all on TV, why would they care if people were watching a webcast broadcast of it? Are they losing money somehow on that? And if they did care, wouldn't they care that people in Phoenix/Utah get to see it?

I'm seriously missing any sort of point to this rule other than these clowns just sticking it to out of town viewers. However, there could be some very logical reason why this rule exists that I'm not thinking of.

Like I understand the NFL's blackout rule. They want to incentivize people in the local market to actually go to the games if there isn't a sellout. I always thought it was a bad rule, and they've relaxed it recently, but at least I understood the rationale behind it. I really don't get the rationale behind this rule.

I don't know why. You're right it doesn't make sense, which is why it's probably because of a poorly thought out clause in a contract.
 
Unless anyone finds a Phoenix-based proxy server, I don't think we're going to be watching this one folks :(
 
I've got my page on suns.com watching the timer count down. I'm hoping it will just work and not make me search everywhere to find some horrible quality link. =(
