What do you think of NBA League Pass?

Has anyone ever had it before? What did (or what do) you think about it? Please discuss any pros or cons you can think of.

I love it.  I have the television one.  I guess the only drawback is sometimes I get the other team's announcing crew.  Other than that, I've been extremely happy with it.  I'm also able to DVR it and such.  Good stuff.

I love it too. I had it last year and thought it was awful - you couldn't watch replay games when you wanted but had to catch the broadcast, and its start hour was not indicated anywhere so you could click on a game and just watch the final minutes while wanting to watch the whole game... -. Plus there was a lot of problems during live games.

I wasn't planning on suscribing again this year but I had a chance to try it for free and loved it. Now it's in HD (really beautiful), you can watch replay whenever you want the day after the game, and all games are available, while it was not the case last year.

There are blackouts on certain games here, the ones that are broadcasted on French TV, but when you watch live you can find the channel corresponding the game and go through the blackout so it's great.

To resume, I think that, at a fair price, League Pass is perfect for international fans, because, if you have good enough internet connection and a powerful computer, you can watch NBA games : and that's huge here where the national TV basically broadcasts a game by week if you're lucky.

And it allows you to watch all the Celtics games so it's perfect! Kudos to the NBA for creating a great and reliable system this season.

I'm wondering how useful it is for Americans, however? If I'm correct, you can only watch games that are broadcasted on ESPN and ABC, and on the local Comcast Sportsnet Channel? So basically, it allows you to watch games from other teams which are not big "showdowns"?

I've got it on Directv and have subscribed for about 7 years now living outside the Boston area. It's the only way I have been able to catch games very often, especially during the rough years. It is great except for when they play the Bobcats down in Charlotte and then is blacked out. You have to see things in HD though. I think they intentionally make the regular version extra grainy. NFL sunday ticket especially where you have to buy the HD games. I wish I had never started it though because I'd rather not spend the time and money but I'm hooked now...

Apart from the pre-season fiasco this year, Directv has finally gotten it right....

Now, almost all of the Mike & Tommy broadcasts are available anywhere in the US....I always hated listening to other teams broadcasters---which happened when the C's were on the road.

hey for those of you who have it on digital cable, namely comcast, are you all able to watch the games in HD?

I have the tv (cable) version, too.  I don't know how I ever got along without it!  It keeps getting better every year.  This year they show reruns, which they didn't last year.  This year they are also showing some games on two channels...one with the home team announcing staff and one with the visiting team announcing staff.  (And HD is terrific.)
