Cox's retarded customer service tried to tell me it was $50 a month, $200 total.

To get your money's worth you would literally have to watch every game everyday.

Do you get every game though?

Every game that is not on nationally or NBA TV.

League Pass broadband offers a cheaper option where you choose your five favorite teams for the season...I went with that instead.

Only worth it if you are trying to follow an out of market team religiously.

with just about every Pelicans game on fox sports, and at least 1-2 other games on a night (ESPN, NBATV, TNT), I don't think it's worth it.

NBATV shows live-lookins for 3 hours a night when they don't have a game on.

Bought it for the first time this year. I have the 5 team broadband that I can stream to my TV through XBOX Live.

Worth every penny if you live out of market of your favorite team. Since the Pels aren't on national TV a lot I get almost every game. No connectivity or quality issues yet.

No. Just watch free streams online.

I got it a few years ago and it was an absolute waste. I bought it so I could watch the Grizzlies play because I am stuck with Hawks games here in Tuscaloosa. The problem was that I was blackout'd of every Grizzlies game even though none of their games are on TV here.

my roommate got $40 off, and we rolled the $40 we saved by not buying furman-LSU into that forumla to make it very reasonably-priced

i watch the frick out of NBA these days, and it's great b/c games start right after work so you can always put a game on

I guess since Grizzlies streams are probably not super popular I can usually find one that works great.

If you can consistently find free streaming NBA games in high picture quality, you're a very lucky man. They are few and far between in my experience.

I'm interested in that to watch Pelicans games in Houston. What did you pay?

I had it last year and it was a waste. I didnt get home from work to watch Pelicans games until it was the 4th quarter and I didnt care enough to watch other teams play.

I chose five monthly payments of $30. You can pay all at once for $140.

For all 30 teams I think it's $45 a month or a $200 one time payment.

The shitty thing about the Cox coverage is that you don't get it in HD. During the free preview, I found most of the feeds looked like crap. I would have ordered it if they would have had the games in HD.

Yeah if there is a team in the west or something that you want to watch then I'd get it or if you are just a huge NBA fan. Otherwise I wouldn't, particularly if I had NBA tv. Most of the good games are on tv.

It's worth it if you watch the games on TV and know the team you want to watch wont be blacked out. Personally, I only watch online and I hate the media player they use to stream the games. Although, the one neat aspect of it is that you can pick which broadcast you want to watch.

This is important to note. You DO NOT get every game. The games on national television aren't available with League Pass.

I bought it the last two years just for smartphone, and it was ~$35 a year. The Lakers typically have 15-20 games on national television anyways, so I can't justify the TV package. Iphone streaming is great quality and works well on wifi/4g/LTE.

It's also good if you won't be able to see a game on a certain night. The games are archived also immediately after the game ends. Pretty sure the national TV games are archived, as well.

How much is this 5 team deal?

And does it work on AppleTv, PS3, Roku, iPad, iPhone, etc?
