Camden, TN | If I have NBA League Pass Why would I want to watch it on the computer? And yes everyone gets to watch NFL games on the net except the ones more likely to buy their service. Namely AMERICANS. Not everyone wants to get DirectTv. Once again the NBA and NFL just don't get it. When Major League Baseball is ahead of the NFL and NBA in ANYTHING that's pretty sad, but when to comes to offering games on the net they are light years ahead. | |

Even if contractual obligations allowed for the NBA to do what you suggest, such a move would significantly reduce the value of such a deal to the NBA.

| | | NFL has made watching the NFL suck. One game on a Sunday afternoon and that's it? Night games on Sunday night (rather watch Desperate Housewives) and Monday.
Wait and see: the NFL will eventually be PAY only viewing.
In about 5-10 years, the Superbowl will be a PPV event. Only in the USA of course. | |

Louisville, KY | I'm not a sports fan, but my father has the 'season ticket' subscription to MLB via internet. The quality is good streamed out of his media box to the big screen. Seems a fair deal to me for the money. Essentially ala cart viewing of every game. The NBA is just late to the party.

| | Sounds good to me. And there are many contracts to consider then. The NBA League Pass isn't exclusive to D*. InDemand, Dishnetwork, and those Canadian services have contracts with the NBA and its content. There may be others internationally since their popularity has grown (if you may call it so; it's up for debate.) In regards to who would watch on a computer screen? I guess a person who doesn't have a satellite or cable connection when the need arrives to actually watch an NBA game. This announcement only adds to the variety of things one can do during the day. If it comes included with my League Pass subscription, then it's good for me. | |

Camden, TN | Re: Good deal said by Nightfall:said by gimme5:An added feature without a price increase? sounds good to me. I wonder if that will work during the Leage Pass free preview weeks. I agree. People who are bitching need to relax.  Well all I saying is the NBA needs to also offer this as a stand alone option like baseball does with MLB.tv. You can subscribe to MLB.tv for $80 for the whole season. That's 50¢ a game if you only follow your home team. Now THAT is a deal. And the NFL needs to re-do it's deal with DirectTV and tell them that they can either co-operate or in the next deal they won't get didly. I'd be more than willing to pay to watch my team on a regular basis on my computer for a reasonable price. Sorry not everyone want a satelite dish.
And if DirectTv forcing NFL fans to subscibe to them in order to get Sunday Ticket was working that have A LOT more than 15 million subscibers. Not much higher than what they had 5 years ago. Cable still beats DirectTv by 5-1 margin. At this rate DirectTV subscriber #'s will catch up to cable in 2065. Maybe people know extortion when they see it. | |
|
| | Not ready for prime time Hopefully a few more international embarrassments and the NBA will join the NHL in the "barely relevant enough for cable" category.The NBA is full of self centered egotistical crybabies who bitch about their soft lives all the time.The worst part is the college game has been hit by kids leaving early to join the thug show.

Hialeah, FL | Re: Not ready for prime time Because it's freakin EXTORTION!!! $180/mo!!! Are they smokin the players weed?? 90% of the teams aren't worth watching so I (and many, many) other Heat fans only care about watching the Heat. ALL Pro sports has lost what sports was all about. Whe the Athletes made "normal" pro salaries, they played because they LOVED to play. Now these college kids all about "gettin them stacks" so they can be "iced out" "grilled up" and all that. Never mind the game of basketball. But I digress...

OK so the NBA equals poor economic background/upbringing?  I live in Malibu, Ca and coach a group of kids in my spare time. All of the kids that I'm coaching come from parents who are doctors, lawyers and business owners. I love all sports and it pisses me off when someone who probably hasn't done a push up in his life, makes such retarded, dumb ass statements. Hey buddy, get your freaking facts straight before posting. There's button that's says "Upon reflection, I do not wish to post. Take me back!". USE IT NEXT TIME!

This seems like a great way to get around spending 091231923-019-31381083109283 dollars on league pass and the quality for me would be even better... | |
