 |

The NBA is offering an online season pass. The cost is $84.95 until Nov. 11, and $99.95 after that.

I have a slingbox but only get the Lakers home games, so I bit the bullet and now have all of their games for the season, yippee for me. Most people can only bare the NBA during the playoffs, but for fans like me, this is a great little investment.
Go Lakers! |

Good to see another fan out there! You excited for Bynum this year or what?! Should be a monumental year for our team! I think Farmar is going to come into his own this year and be a much better player with LESS TURNOVERS.
I'm very interested in the video quality. Let me know how it works out for you dude. |

The video quality is good, and more than often, great. It is better than any streams you can find, really one complaint. I have had some issues with it randomly buffering ever so often. Sometimes it will stream perfectly while other times it has done that buffering thing I just mentioned. I can honestly say it has been worth the money so far. I am sure if you had a lot of problems with it you could complain and ask for a refund. Maybe even email support before you order and ask them if the stream sucks, will you be able to get your money back.
About the Lakers, I am totally stoked to see Bynum out there with Gasol. We just signed him to an extension so the organization must have a lot of faith in him. The dude is only 21 so I think as long as he is healthy he will continually improve and be a top 3 big man in the league. I think he will be the missing link to bring another championship this year.
Farmar really is turning into a baller. I think he will do a great job of taking over full time for Fish in the next few years. Ariza has been kicking ass and looks like another athletic player. I love Odom coming off the bench. I am not a big fan of his, so I think it is better if he is running with the second unit. I am really psyched for this year. I think anything but a championship is a HUGE disappointment. I seriously see great things this year, maybe some regular season records and an eventual title.
Have you been to any games lately? I got home (San Diego) from my first year in Korea last December and was able to go to two games. My wife and I went to Gasol's first game as a Laker against the Hawks (I got to boo Mike Bibby, it was great!) and the other game was against the Hornets late in the year when the Lakers and Kobe pretty much clinched the #1 seed and Kobe's MVP. Right now I am stoked to watch some college football in a few hours, fall asleep, and then wake up and watch the Lake Show at 10 am our time. Sorry if this is a cluster of nonsense, I could write/talk about the Lakers for days. |

No Games. It's seriously been years since my last game. I've been in San Francisco the past five years and saw a game between them and GS. When it was GS's magic year into round two. Yeah, you're right about Odom. He's a great 6th or 7th man. He's stated himself that he's more comfortable as a supporting role. Remember when he was the second option under kobe? It was when bynum was injured and Gasol hadn't been acquired yet. He didn't produce at all! Oh and ...Gasol was picked up on my birthday!!! Feb 1st. Best birthday present EVER lol!!
I grew up in Orange County and I hate that suburban hell, well I shouldn't say that. Just the people in the area i grew up. The landscape is beautiful though! |

I just got this today. I had tried to do the league pass but its only for dish/cable customers. I didn't know about this.
I watched my first of many Suns games today. I'm stoked.
The quality is better than any of the streams. The streams frustrate me and I want to have access to the games in real time. I watched anyway. I can fullscreen it on my 22 inch monitor and sit back and watch.
It does buffer every once in a while but only for a few seconds. First game down...
When you work it out I'm paying about 1 dollar to watch every Phoenix game. Anything else I watch brings that number down. It's worth it. |
