    "Select games in HD"

    What does that mean...I'm a high def snob and dont want to pay $190 to watch the Rockets in low def. Any idea how many of the games (% wise) are in HD each season?

    "Select games in HD" means not all games are broadcast in HD.

    League Pass is legal while ballstreams is not. NBA could stop them anytime they wanted to. If that were to happen, you would be out $$ since you will not be getting any refund from ballstreams.

    who doesn't broadcast their games in HD?

    Every team has HD at this point, I would assume.

    i think it has to do with things like fox sports southwest that has both dallas and san antonio, that when the games clash, it's sent to a non hd affiliate channel.

    It depends on your provider. Everything on broadband should be HD. However, I have comcast and Comcast doesn't provide HD league pass.

    Non HD games are definitely the exception. At least with Directv. I've had LP for at least 10 years.

    Last year I can't remember one game that wasn't HD. Shouldn't be a problem.

    The only big still is the home/away commentary, I still can't get a response from the nba league pass people or anyone else

    Any suggestions for my 5 teams?

    So far I'm thinking Rockets, Pistons, T-Wolves, Warriors, and Clippers.

    Pistons are going to be a dunk-fest this year. They could also be astoundingly great or completely miserable on any given night. I find that intriguing haha.

    Heat are on national TV every week so I figured I'd avoid them.

    Pistons are a good choice, but I'd take the Nets

    Knicks over Pistons. They are always interesting, play in a magical arena and have the best color commentator alive.

    For international league pass, why would I buy annual membership? It costs $149.99 while monthly membership is $15.99. NBA season last 8 months.
