This is awesome!!

sure does make league pass look like a deal.

$574 dollars for 82 games?

That article doesn't mention a 5 team option for league pass. Did they do away with that? That is what I got the past two years. I don't need to watch all the games but having 5 teams I can watch was nice.

[D.o.s.]

This will be good for people who want to watch, say, out of conference games or ones not being broadcast nationally with playoff implications.

I'm sorry but $6.99 for a single game is too much.  Something like $2.99 would be more appropriate.  Either way, I do not see myself buying any games in the near future.

They would be much better off selling the package to watch a single team (why they don't do this I have no idea?).  Even if they cut the price in half, it would be worth it for a lot of people.

That's a ridiculous price wow

[manl_lui]

I'd buy it, if it's a game not televised on TV or my team...then I would buy it

like Spurs vs CLE, Hous vs Spurs, Clips vs whoever

there are sites where you can stream for free but they're not HD and full of ads. It's a good price imo

I'd be willing to pay about half that, maybe, if the upgrade in quality from a free stream I can find easily online is significant enough.

Yeah exactly. I find it funny that people who would ostensibly buy full price jerseys for guys who many not be with the team for more than a season would balk at, say, paying the price of a nice bar at a beer to watch OKC/Phoenix fight it out for the last playoff spot in the West.

[rondohondo]

or you can just watch every game for free on many sites on the internet

paying the price of a nice bar at a beer

I'll that to drink!

[Donoghus]

I'll stick to the full package. 

Also, only $80 more to get the entire season's slate of games over just one team's seems worth it, IMO.

If you read the article (dont read that with a snarky tone), they are offering a one team pack for about half price this year.

Finally right?!

I imagine this is geared more towards causal fans of other franchises. I like the Griz, so maybe I'd pay the 6.99 twice a year when the pay GS.
