Do you buy NBA League Pass?

[BigGameDamian]

What do you think of it? I never have but I would strongly consider it if they wouldn't block Blazers games.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yes.

Yes. Would advise against it. It rarely works when I actually want to stream games live. It did work great at first but it was unusable the first few weeks of the season. I recently started trying it again to mixed results, but it still rarely holds a live stream for 30 mins before crashing. It does, however, stream archived games well. I love that I can miss games when I have late night plans and still be able to watch them whilst nursing a hangover the next day. The archived stream is fine as you can let it buffer. I've never had a DVR before so missing Warriors games was sooo painful. Now I know I can watch what happened, even if I only have it on in the background while I'm multitasking on a Sunday.

But overall is it worth the money? Not really. Its mostly a hoax compared to what it is supposed tobe. The DVR feature is brilliant to me, but still not really worth the ~$150 for a season probably, and most people probably don't need this as much as I do (don't have cable/DVR/etc.).

I did for the past several years. I cancelled it this year because they were blocking Blazer games.

In the past if you live beyond 180 miles from the RG ( your entire zip code area had to be 180 miles away) then the games were not blocked. This year they block Blazer game for me at home and away, so I cancelled it. No one could explain the change nor do anything about it, just say it the NBA sets the policy. Sort of weird though, I was block from Blazer, Kings, and Warrior games.
Does anyone else notices this policy change?

Had it for the last 8 years or so and can't live without it! Use it at home, laptop, phone everywhere!

Plus I'm lucky enough to be able to write it off.

No point in getting it if you're a Blazer fan that lives in the valley. Personally, LP is a waste of 150 bucks as it is. I mean most big games are already on national TV... Who wants to watch Bobcats-Bucks on LP?

For years I've read nothing but negatives about it, so I've never tried it. They say the League Pass blackouts are different on TV vs. internet.

I buy NBA League Pass International.

Without it I would have (legally) seen only two Blazers games all season. Even those two games were only on cable.

There is no free to air coverage of the NBA on TV here. A local website started showing two games a week for free about half way through the season.

I have never had any technical problems with League Pass.

See that's exactly WHY I get it. I love the game if basketball more than any 1 team.

I got LPBB choice and picked 5 teams (POR, GS, NO, CLE, WAS). It was a good decision to pick only five because I hardly have time to squeeze in the other four teams after POR. The NBA TV and national tv blackouts are really starting to piss me off. Every decent matchup seems to be unavailable to me these days.

I'd buy NBALP streaming service in a minute, if they didn't blackout blazer games. Pair it with the "TV Companion" on nba.com and I'd be in heaven.
