Has anybody else tried out the new League Pass video player and nba.com web interface?  I feel like I am missing something because it is so much worse than last year.  What in the world were they thinking?  It's almost unusable.  Anybody having a different experience?

Agreed! Its pretty easy to get a human on the line at LP, and may be worth making your complaints by way of seeking help....

The entire website is an eyesore. I'm not sure why they redesigned it this way, but yeah, LP especially an absolutely horrible interface now.

nba.com looks like trash. literally. it is tough to navigate, its slow to load, its just..trash.

unfortunately, everyone is trying to make their sites more mobile accessible these days (which is ironic because their mobile site is even worse, and their updated app is bad too), that they sometimes forget that people use desktops and laptops too.

who are they paying to design these sites? give me the resources and the money you allocated to "design" the current site, and i (a college student majoring in biology) can make it look AND function better than it is now. there was honestly nothing wrong with it before.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Yep, hate it.

I also hate the fact that they're selectively choosing which preseason games to air, and they're only airing like two per night that aren't already on NBATV. Ridiculous.

EDIT: I guess one good thing is that you'd just be able to have Celticsblog open in one tab and NBALP in another. It might make switching between the two a bit easier, but other than that it's pretty crappy.

I used to love the NBA app, but it's unusable now.

the worst part is how bad the box scores are. it only shows 3 stat categories at a time, and you have to scroll all the way to see points, AND it doesnt have headers that are always visible, so you cant tell what stat youre looking at (like, am i looking at steals or turnovers?)

Every time now when I click on a game from the main page, it says "Sorry, the page you requested was not found"...... What a freakin joke, all I want from a sports webpage at minimum is to check a box score and you can't even do it without using the LP link >:(

That's some cheese!

not directly related to league pass, but did anyone catch LeBron's tweet today?

When LeBron is complaining about how the NBA app looks, you know you really messed up.
