That does seem pretty horrendous. What are the supposed upsides?

It is more important to use your anonymity to upset other people than it is to do anything productive.

I guess that's what happens when you try to make a streaming service but you're too tightly entrenched with regional broadcast contracts to go carte blanche with it.

Blew $200 on it a few years ago. All the problems you mentioned plus it was laggy as shit so we watched 0 games. And I had crazy good internet at the time so it wasnt that.

I just dont get how these massive corporations can fuck up basic services like this so bad, lol.

Its not meant for people to watch their home teams. It's meant for people who are either out of market or just love basketball.

TV deals bring in vastly more revenue than these league pass things.
Unless you want to pay about $5000 per season, that's just how it's going to be.

Some do, that's true. But you can always find an available one. I like using the one that concatenates the abbreviation of the basketball sport league with bite.

yeah that's what i use...still freezes like crazy

True. It's especially annoying when it starts freezing near the end of a close game, I'm assuming because more people started tuning in. I like the reddit one the best so far, least likely to freeze on me

same lol. yeah i think that's exactly what it is. nothing worse than a go ahead shot in the air and it freezes lol

WNBA pass is worse.

It's all that + can't watch games reserved for amazon prime, facebook, and a few random streams/channels no one's heard of. Half the season gets canceled for olympics. It was literally $15 to watch 1 game.

Probably not, but Id pay a couple hundred for my favorite teams games alone.

The W is the best meta in basketball and is the most fun to bet.
