NBA on TNT not showing Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors Game in Washington DC Metro Area

[#1]

Hi, I am wondering why there are supposedly contractual requirements that are preventing the Philadelphia 76ers game from showing up on TNT in the Washington DC metro area.  Its not a local game...

Great question. It's not playing on any other channel and it's not a local game. 

What are we paying for?

Half the reason I have cable is for NBA. 

Verizon / TNT and or NBA needs to figure it out or I'll cancel my TV.

Good question. I encountered the same thing. Are you listening Verizon? Are you planning to provide a response anytime soon?
