I’m tryna watch a lot more games this season but I live in Europe. What sleep schedule do you use and how many games do you try to watch a week?

I watch Laker games on League Pass the next morning before going to work. If you skip timeouts, halftime, free throw routines, etc, you can watch basically every possession in about an hour or so. And there’s a “no spoilers” mode so you don’t know the result ahead of time.
It works for me cos I’m naturally an early riser (up about 6:30 AM and don’t have to leave for work until 8:00)
Every now and then there’s a game I can watch live so I watch those regardless of who’s playing.
Otherwise mostly highlights and once or twice a week watching a non-Laker game on replay if people are talking about it as a really good game.
I do the same, up around 6:30 most mornings, don’t have to leave for work till 8:30, enough time to watch a full game when I skip the ad breaks. Catch the odd Saturday and Sunday evening game live when it’s UK evening time.
This is the way. League pass with condensed games are about 35-40 minutes each. They have an “all possessions” option which shows every possession even misses and free throws, but cuts out all the dead time. You can also watch the full replay if you would rather do that.
Btw if you happen to be “on vacation” while purchasing your league pass subscription in , let’s say, South Africa or India, the price is drastically lower than buying it in Germany or France. But it works in every country.
It’s actually been pretty easy watching the Clippers, since most of their games (home or on the road in the West) start at 5:30 AM over here, so I can just get up at 6:30-7:00 and catch the second half.
And let’s not forget about those early weekend games, at around 8-10 PM for me, so pretty much perfect. Unfortunately they’re usually a struggle for the team, it’s gotten to the point that I’m no longer looking forward to them. That new arena can’t come soon enough.
We watch by radio
Watched nearly all our games last season. Just stay awake and live with being tired next day :p
For a few games I avoided the internet and watched next day.
Even the 3am games??? Damn
Does your streaming allow on demand replays? My other main sport is cycling (tour de france, paris Roubaix, etc). The service i subscribe to has on demand. So i just stay of social media, cycling related websites and watch later that day at my leisure
What’s sleep ?
I just set up an alarm 5 min before the game start, I watch it and boom go back to sleep after
Get a night job. Problem solved.
I either sleep before the games or just watch the games later that day
I live in Norway and watch them the next day on league pass. I just don’t follow any team or player on SoMe, and don’t go on reddit til after I’ve watched the game.
Replays on league pass. I get to work early and watch half a game (sometimes just the 4th quarter of 2 different games) while answering emails.
Feel for you guys in Europe, Aus/NZ time zone is pretty ideal. All afternoon games, great for working at home lol
Can’t wait to fuck up my sleep schedule again…
I am in the UK and either watch (very) early East Coast games before sleeping or very late West ones after getting up early.
Or I watch full replays.
In any case, I stay off reddit and avoid spoilers until I have watched everything I want to.
Or I watch full replays
This is the way. Once upon a time I stayed up to watch games, but then I realised how stupid that is.
Get your sleep,.kids.
