    I don't have cable or satellite. I want to watch my Blazer games so I sign up for NBA broadband where I can watch "every game" of my team.

    Bull! Clippers and L*ker games are blacked out, and tonight's game is on ESPN so I can't get it either. I have only seen one game this whole year. Calling them to cancel on Monday. This is crap.

    I think you just need a VPN or an ip address shifter or something.

    Yeah, the restrictions are a bit annoying.

    Get this, I live in southern Oregon and they blackout any games against the Warriors and Kings. This isn't northern California you idiots.

    That's always been the way with NBA League Pass. If you cancel, you'll miss even more games, by the way.

    Also- if you're patient, most of our games aren't against LA or on national TV. Go to a bar for the other games.

    You can't cancel the league pass...... you either buy it or you don't!

    Thanks for the tips. I think I will "move" to India so I can watch the games. I have a friend who does this for a living so he should be able to set me up.

    Update: After reading their website that advertises that only some local games will be blacked out (no mention of ESPN or TNT games that are not local being blacked out), sending the language to them and threatening, they actually let me out and gave me a refund. Their advertising was misleading and I'm glad they recognized it.

    I thought people in the NW didn't distinguish NoCal and SoCal. It's all weird to you provincials.

    But since I'm Reep's neighbor, I have to confirm it's indeed fruity and nutty here. More the latter from my point of view though.
