    Not saying he isn't deserving, but he didn't make it last year and that was with Curry not making it either. Westbrook won't be on it this season, so who knows.

    fuck man, this league pass makes my monthly bill like $130 a month for Direct TV for the next 6 months. The fuck man. Shit is getting mad expensive.

    I remembered being sooooo depressed that day. The words of Chic saying "the only bottles the Blazers will be popping are the water bottles on the plane ride home" <-- something to that extent. I had daily taunts from friends throughout the week. It was a dark day as a Blazer fan in L.A.

    I figured it was coming with about 5 minutes left. One of my laker fan friends called me early in the 4th about that time all depressed and I told him it wasn't over as I know how the Blazers fold. Voice mail was hellish upon landing.

    Good topic!


    Bought it for the first time this year.

    I'm picking:

    1. POR
    2. GSW- touch choice considering how often they're on national TV, but had to be done solely for Steph's exploits. I'm not alone in ranking them high on the watch list.
    3. WAS- john wall. nuff said
    4. NOH- lotsa exciting young players
    5. Debating between MEM/DET/CLE

    btw, grantland did a 2 part piece on LP choices:

    This year, they will apparently archive all national tv games. Just can't see them live. In addition, we can choose the broadcast team to watch. These two additions definitely made the $130 easier to fork over.

    But nobody has answered me, if you're already spending that much, why not get the WHOLE league?

    Some people just want to watch the Blazers, i'd get a one team option if they did that, and it wasn't blacked out of course.

    I personally only watch the Portland Trailblazers now. Sometimes I'll watch other teams as background. But fuck the fixed ass NBA, they have lost me as a fan. I rarely even watch the playoffs.

    I did it 'cause I don't wanna spend 24hrs watching bball, and it's not worth the extra money. I can find links easily online. I'm paying for blazer games mainly. The other four teams I consider a bonus.

    See man, I forget the majority of guys here just follow the Blazers. My bad......I can respect that. Im just a hoop junkie. While out of town working this weekend I recorded the following........
    Blazers vs Clippers
    Pistons vs Cavs
    Thunder vs NOLA
    Celtics vs Wolves
    Pacers vs Bulls

    For me, I watch a lot of ACC basketball in addition to the NBA and I just can't justify the extra $60 for a bunch of games I won't have time to watch.

    That's great news for me. I almost never get to watch them live. Taco Bell dude has a point about the extra money not being that much, but I barely have time to watch a handful Blazer games. No time for the rest of the league.

    Not to mention two of the matchups I would like to see most are Clippers and L@kers, but both are blacked out down here in Comifornia.

    I got the NFL ticket last season for the Niners and I didn't even use it because most of the games were on national TV, and the few that weren't ended up blacked out. I was pissed. Tons of money down the tubes.

    I've been really wanting to get rid of Comcast. Does anyone use a fake address to get league pass?

    Some good choices there, I would go CLE though. Kyrie is my favorite player to watch outside Dame and the Blazers.

    Word. It's pretty Ridiculous.
