OT: Watch your 5 favorite teams

[illmatic99]

But nobody has answered me, if you're already spending that much, why not get the WHOLE league?

I did it 'cause I don't wanna spend 24hrs watching bball, and it's not worth the extra money. I can find links easily online. I'm paying for blazer games mainly. The other four teams I consider a bonus.

 

[THE HCP]

See man, I forget the majority of guys here just follow the Blazers. My bad......I can respect that. Im just a hoop junkie. While out of town working this weekend I recorded the following........
Blazers vs Clippers
Pistons vs Cavs
Thunder vs NOLA
Celtics vs Wolves
Pacers vs Bulls

30 sec skip button on FTs and commercials.....can get thru a game in about 1 hour.

For me, I watch a lot of ACC basketball in addition to the NBA and I just can't justify the extra $60 for a bunch of games I won't have time to watch.

 

[THE HCP]

Makes sense man. By the way..... I will be watching more college ball this year then I have in a decade. My DVR will be working OT this winter.

This year, they will apparently archive all national tv games. Just can't see them live. In addition, we can choose the broadcast team to watch. These two additions definitely made the $130 easier to fork over.

That's great news for me. I almost never get to watch them live. Taco Bell dude has a point about the extra money not being that much, but I barely have time to watch a handful Blazer games. No time for the rest of the league.

Not to mention two of the matchups I would like to see most are Clippers and L@kers, but both are blacked out down here in Comifornia.

I got the NFL ticket last season for the Niners and I didn't even use it because most of the games were on national TV, and the few that weren't ended up blacked out. I was pissed. Tons of money down the tubes.

I've been really wanting to get rid of Comcast. Does anyone use a fake address to get league pass?

 

[HailBlazers]

Good topic!


Bought it for the first time this year.

I'm picking:

1. POR
2. GSW- touch choice considering how often they're on national TV, but had to be done solely for Steph's exploits. I'm not alone in ranking them high on the watch list.
3. WAS- john wall. nuff said
4. NOH- lotsa exciting young players
5. Debating between MEM/DET/CLE

Some good choices there, I would go CLE though. Kyrie is my favorite player to watch outside Dame and the Blazers.

You know I would be all over this if they didn't black out the Blazers games.

Word. It's pretty Ridiculous.

Seriously, how does that happen accidentally?

Your location is ISP dependant. Whenever I'm in Oregon on my account its blocks me out.

next year i might just go with the online shit, I'll "demo" it this year....just so I can cancel my direct TV. paying like a grand a year for bullshit TV

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Gonna have to agree with HCP here. I used to get League Pass every year when I lived in Arizona. I paid the money to watch the Blazers, and shit, if I had to pay the $180 and all I got was Blazer games I still would have done it. But once you get the pass it's fucking awesome being able to watch any game you want. $60 more over the course of the season is definitely worth it in my book.

BTW, as I'm typing this Avery Johnson just named us as a sleeper in the West!

 

[THE HCP]

It's just that in late March there always some huge playoff type games that aren't in TNT..... How could you guys not want to watch that?

The playoffs are so ridiculously long I don't need any more "playoff like" games. I usually only watch elimination games anyways. Plus, March Madness.

Wow. We are on opposite ends my friend. I'm watching a Celtic vs Wolves preseason game from Montreal as we type. #hoopjunkie

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think my 5 are going to be:

1. POR
2. ORL (now the neighborhood team and the employer of Victor Oladipo--playing some PG?!?!)
3. GSW (no explanation)
4. NOP (interested in some of the Davis hype, and that Eric Gordon might be available)
5. tossup between the Wizards, Cavs and MIN (interested to see if Rubio makes the leap, especially with Love back). Heck, maybe HOU also. But I figure that HOU, OKC, NJN will all get some major national love, and I can't watch 10 games a week anymore anyway.

I wouldn't pick the Heat or L*kers if I got 28 picks.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This is an interesting topic! Like I said, I would never buy 5 teams, I'd just get the whole pass. But I find it fascinating that no one seems to be picking Miami! I know a lot of you guys hate the Heat, but if you're a basketball fan why wouldn't you want to watch the best player on the planet? For me it'd be Blazers, Heat, Thunder, Bulls, Clippers.

Nationally televised games are blacked-out on League Pass so you run the risk of missing a lot of games with high profile teams.

I guess if you have cable you'd be able to watch those games anyway.

Didn't LP let you view the first 2 weeks free the last couple seasons? Are they doing that promo this year?

 

[Run BJM]

Godamn this is tough. Obviously picked W's and don't feel the need for any other pacific division teams. I'm thinking one of Hou/Dallas/San Antonio, one of Indy/Chicago. Maybe Portland since I frequent this board and I almost never get to see Lillard play. Pelicans up there too and also Orlando or Cleveland.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

1. Miami
2. Golden State
3. Houston
4. Brooklyn
5. Cleveland

 

[BigGameDamian]

All of those teams are very watchable but Chicago, Detroit and Indiana are all in the Central conference. I'd like to strategically spread out my picks so I can see more games.

The Blazers are only easy to watch if you have Comcast or Charter.

Enjoyed full LP until today.

Went with my first 4 and CLE. My investment resting on Kyrie's health.

If I want to upgrade to full LP, will I just have to pay the extra $60 or is it full price?

 

[BigGameDamian]

The only way I'm getting LP is if I can watch all the Blazers games. Then I will get a 5 team package.
