Hello guys. As someone who purchased the 5 team package for League Pass Broadband can you guys recommend me which 4 teams I should follow apart from the Rockets ? I am more interested in teams in the Western Conference than the Eastern Conference. I am thinking maybe the Lakers and the Thunder and that would leave me with two more choices. Thanks for the suggestions.
Do NOT choose popular teams with a lot of National and NBATV games. When you factor in NBA Fan night when people will vote to watch them, you will pretty much never get to use League Pass to watch those teams. I learned this the hard way last year. If you choose the Lakers and Thunder you're pretty much wasting those 2 choices.
This article might help you decide which teams to choose. http://www.sbnation.com/2012/10/30/3526092/nba-watchability-scale-preview-2012
Warriors (always good times, great announcers, great crowds), Lakers (high drama), Knicks (MSG, Walt Frazier, hilarious roster of misfits, NOVAK), Wolves (Rubio/Love, fun team, WHITE OUTS, ricky a)... and of course the Rockets.
I'd pick PHX to follow Scola and Dragic, and then for my 5th and final team, I'd take NO. Young, super talented group led by Ant Davis, Rivers, and EG. They certainly won't be contenders, but they'll be a very exciting team to watch. Davis will have a rookie season for the books. He's a rising superstar.
I agree do not pick all the Top teams when they are on TV all the time. Also, I recommend only picking 3. Then deciding on the 4th later. Until after Xmas, you aren't really going to be watching a lot of games. You can pick your five any time throughout the year. You don't have to do it now.
Only an idiot picks the Lakers, Thunder, Knicks, or Heat. I also like to save one slot for later so I can follow some team that surpasses expectations or has some interesting mid-season drama. So for now, my four slots are: Rockets, Wolves, Spurs, and Sixers. Will determine the last team later, but it'll probably be the Kings, Blazers, or Nets.
OK, but still, it's very easy to find Heat and Laker's games at a Sports bar. I don't know why anyone would pick all their 5 teams this early. Save one for later.
NBA League pass is once again offering a trial period until November 7th, watch all the games live and in HD on your computer. I highly recommend giving it a go if you're a fan. Also, they have brought back the Team pass option if you only want to watch your favorite team. Lets go Rockets!
