How many here have league pass or NBA TV?

[Mavtek]

The reason I ask is that it would seem that some here have no knowledge of other teams around the league. How many games have you watched of other NBA teams this year? Here's my general estimate of how many games I've seen of each opponent.

Mavs I've probably seen around 80 games including the playoffs
Spurs I've watched roughly 25-30 times this year including the playoffs
Phoenix 10-15 times
Lake show 10-15 times
Detroit 15-20 times
Sactown 15-20 times
Memphis maybe 10 games
Miami 10-15 times
Nets 10-15 times


That's a just a few examples, obviously the Spurs/Mavs are going to be the primary, my wife being from Kirby growing up a Spurs fan.

Ive prob watched 72 Spurs games this year.

Mavericks, about 15.

Lakers about 72 as well, I always watch them after the Spurs game is over.


The rest, a total of 10.

[mavsfan1000]

I watched enough of the spurs to know to fear them. You have to play the perfect series to beat them. The kings were close but not quite there.

damn, thats a lot of BB. Surprised you still have a wife...

[mavsfan1000]

I don't keep track but I watch Miami, San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix, and Sacramento the most. I watch all of the mavs games of course.

[bdubya]

I missed 4 or 5 Pistons games*. Watched probably 20-25 Spurs games, plus parts (a quarter or so) of a lot of others. Plus a few Mavs and Heat games, and the first few Orlando games after the Cato trade. I got the LP so I could watch all the Pistons games; everything else is a bonus.

(* - heard most of those on Sirius while I was on the road.)

[Beaverfuzz]

Mostly Spurs games, although since I'm in Portland I did watch a few Blazer games. Ususally get to watch parts of all of the playoff games now thanks to TiVo.

[Jimcs50]

I have it

I subscribe to NBA League Pass so I can watch Spurs games. I have watched about 80 Spurs' games.

[themvp]

I have watched about 30+ Spurs games, and 5 other...I live in Slovenia..so here is my excuse

But watching BB or playing BB are tottaly diferent things.

My wife is actually a huge sports fan, and being a Texas Ex she's a beer drinking fire Longhorn fan too. GO TEXAS!! NCAA Champions!

What`s the difference between NBATv and League Pass?

[leemajors]

NBAtv is a channel year round, League Pass you can see "every" NBA game excluding those with regional restrictions. i watch any game that's on the channels i have and is remotely interesting. if not i watch stuff on my dvr and flip back for score updates. i also listen to good matchups on SIRIUS, radio is just about as good as TV most of the time for sports. it's great to hear something on the radio and then watch the highlights later to compare what you visualize with what it really looked like. on another topic, i like books more than movies so maybe that explains why i don't mind radio. a great announcer on the radio makes you feel like you are there... i like bill schoening and i also love listening to milo hamilton.

I've watched more than all of you. I have League Pass and will watch the damn Bobcats play the Hawks. I love the NBA.

[johngateswhiteley]

...i have nba tv and all the high definition channels, so i usually get the nba tv game in high def which is nice. but i don't have the league pass, although i watch most of the national coverage on espn, abc and tnt when those other cities' teams are on.

...as for the longhorns, i hate them. Gig'em Aggies! as far as i am concerned the t-sips can burn...

I think we need to send you to NBAA

[SpursWoman]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I have a full time career, a family, baseball, softball, remodeling my house....my life is pretty full. I catch a non-Spurs game every once in a while, and I've watched a ton of playoff games so far, but...

I don't know if I would be that proud to admit that I sit my lazy ass in front of the TV all day and night for at least 7 months out of the year. I mean damn...if a single game lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours, your Lazyboy must have one of an ass imprint.

I know what you mean there, I probably won't do league pass again, NBA TV is dirt cheap and it combined with what's on TNT and ESPN usually means there's at least one game on a night.

I'll disregard the rest of your post.

[Kori Ellis]

I have had NBA League Pass and NFL Sunday Ticket every year that they've been in existence. I watch more basketball and football than should be humanly possible.

[Horry For 3!]

I only have NBATV

[johngateswhiteley]

I'll disregard the rest of your post.

...fair enough.

[smoke1]

I have league pass, but only to watch the Spurs as I live 100 miles west of Dallas and only get mavs on Fox Sports SW. I dont think I watched any non-spurs game on LP except maybe a half of Pistons once or twice.

Uh no most BBall games I watch only last around 1.5 hours Unless it's one I care about! Then I'll watch that live, no seriously some of you should get DVR's.

Am I the only one who hated silent games this season? That was just ing weird?

[birdy219]

I have BOTH because I live in a non-pro sports team city. I have watched or listened to every Spurs game. I sacrificed the and my Spurs rarely disappoint me.

Damn, you DVR that many games?? That's hard core. I love my DVR, and use it to get spurs games that I cant watch live. I do like it for regular season games since I can fast forward all of the crap and commercials and dead balls and stupid, irrelevant half time analysis and just watch game. I think I can watch a game in like 40 minutes that way.
