Chucked the TV, now how do I watch the Celtics?

I'm making an effort to phase television out of my life, but I don't want the Celtics to go with it.  Is there a way to watch them online with a streaming video?  I looked at League Pass but it's 109 bucks per season and you can follow up to 5 teams.  I have time just for one, and that price is a bit of an overkill.  And I'm not sure if you need a TV for the League Pass package?

Does CSN or any other website offer the game online for a reasonable cost?

I've never heard of it, and I believe that league pass is the only way.

If individual teams offered their own streaming services, why would League Pass Online even exist?

Bravo!

Are you in college by chance or you just can't afford a TV? <_< You can reply in a PM too, if you wish.

Ah I can afford the TV and cable but I'm tired of how much it takes up my time.  The breaking point was yesterday when I realized that the television never, ever shuts up unless you turn it off.  Alas it is enjoying a new home at the local pawn shop.

Do you need a TV for the League Pass or can you get it for the internet only, and is the minimum package really 109 bucks? (And what are your 5 teams you're following?  :D )

My husband got me league pass for Christmas this year after I refused to renew it.  The early bird price $168 turned into $194 after taxes and charges were added in.  Now I am even angrier at the NBA....(I am perpetually angry with the neverending tax  situation anyway...  ;) .  However, having said that, I do like League Pass...I remember listening to the games on the radio with Johnny Most because they weren't televised.  ::)

One of my only post ever but a LONG TIME CBlog reader:

The problem I've had is that you can't get League Pass unless you have a cable provider...even if you just want to watch games streamed online.

I've been stuck unable to watch my beloved Celtics because I can't figure out where to find the games streaming and I can't buy League Pass without cable (which is too much of an expense for my family right now). I live locally, so I can't watch Celts games unless I have cable. Is this correct?

I often read the game threads here on CelticsBlog to supplement radio but it just isn't close actually watching.

Help???
