Out of towners-- how will you watch games?

I've had League Pass- single for the last five years and just got the renewal notice for $120 for the season. I only get cable via Sling during the playoffs. For games on national TV in the regular season, I used to rely on reddit streams. Effectively, this used to work out to ~$200 for the season + playoffs to watch every game.

Trying to find alternatives this year because:
1. We have AT LEAST 31 national tv games that will be blacked out on LP
2. nbastreams (RIP)
3. Getting really tired of the user experience on LP with it lagging behind live action, the constant ads, and the random nights when games get picked to be on NBA TV further blacking me out.

I really don't want to go the VPN route if I can avoid it because I stream on multiple devices. Do I have any other options?

 

awesome. Still curious about legal options too.

 

I'll prob delete this post too (so don't quote the spoiler part)

SNOOZE U LOOZE

 

Both TNT and ESPN have apps that you can watch the national games on. You just need to ask someone who does have cable for their log in, ha ha.

 

El Prez..... I just screen grabbed your spoiler!!!

 

photoshopped.

 

I used to buy league pass every year but for some reason the cable version only had one HD channel (which btw I didn’t even have to pay for)

Since the blazers play on the west coast a lot, they’re on that aforementioned HD channel quite often. When they’re not, I just lean on the power of the internet.

 

I’ll FaceTime you EVERY game for the right price son.

 

I wanna watch the game not the truck.

 

I will aim my MacBook at my PROGRAM monitor. You’ll see what these clowns see at home. The price goes up every 15 minutes!

 

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't need you getting in more trouble at work. We need the connection at the forum.

 

YouTube TV and LP will get me all 82 games.

 

Have you guys tried this?

Looks like you can get LP-team passs and NBA TV for $18 per month. I'm guessing this would be an add on to the other cable channels making it about 43 per month for Cable and LP.

Not bad at all.

 

as im in nz, probably illegally.

 

(allegedly)

 

It also sucks. Horrible interface, no league pass integration, no NBA TV, and nearly double the cost of Sling w/ LP.

They have such high profile NBA players as endorsers but don't even have the right products for an NBA consumer. Simply putting ESPN/TNT/regional network on the list does not suffice, especially when we are out of the market.

 

League pass for me. I almost dropped it a couple of years ago, but then the fam had reasons they wanted to get cable again, so now I can get more than I can possibly watch. Every year I swear I'm going to drop it as I don't have that much time to watch games anyway. But at renewal time there always seems to be some glimmer of hope on the new season that brings me back.

 

Wrong it's $$Hulu$has$live$sports$$$$$$$

 

I am here in Southern California and buy League Pass through DirecTv. It costs $180 a year for all NBA games. All of the games I get are in HD. Probably not the best financial decision to pay this every year but I look at it as a form of entertainment. I watch every single Blazers game. If 31 games are on National TV this year that means I am paying about $3.50 a game for the other 51 games. Well worth it to me. I am so bad with the non-TV stuff that I wouldn't even know how Sling works or any of the apps people say are good. Hopefully you can find something that works.
