The Blazers have announced that they will be the first NBA team to begin streaming games live online.

The league recently gave its teams permission to explore streaming games live over the internet.

Mike Barrett points out the fact that Comcast Sportsnet Northwest has yet to reach an agreement with satellite providers. Because of that, many fans could be out in the cold when it comes to watching games this season.

Portland president Larry Miller's goal by the start of the new year is to have every game streamed live on the website.
