Isn't this bad for the folks who pay for League Pass on the internet?

Aren't games on NBATV blacked out for people using League Pass Broadband? (I know, it seems counter-intuitive).

Edit: Wow. Lakers/Bulls - 62%, next highest Celtics/Knicks - 9%...

Magic/Raptors - 5%.

Lost cause?

No way an internet poll involving the Raps gets this low. This has rigged written all over it. Really, kind of sad the way the league might be. I'm glad I am stealing league pass.

Good luck guys, if all is fair, no reason why this game wont be number one.

It's early, we can swing it around. Voted and I'll help spread this.

Raps fans voted on some game for ESPNEWS a little while back, and even though they were (apparently) winning the poll, ESPNEWS shafted them in the end.

Well our game is up to 16% while the Bulls-Lakers game is down to 46%.
So again, doable.

In 12 hours, we have made a tremendous strive. We have a shot since the game won't be until the 18th. Does anyone know when the voting will end?

AdamTheGreek · Post #14 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 4:02 am

I'd probably say the earliest date would be Friday but I haven't read on an official date.

NBA TV might as well just show all of the Lakers and Celtics games and stop with the formalities.

If NBA TV plays "I Am A Celtic" or any other Celtics-related show again, instead of shooting the TV I'm going to shoot myself.

My opinion is that the NBA does fix this so that the Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, and Bulls get stuck in it. One, bulls are large-market team and Stern still has feelings for them. Two, the Lakers are loved by every single sports person on TV and predicted to win every single thing they possibly can win. Three, the Celtics have three all stars and are obviously the defending champs. Four, the TV people and the NBA people would love to rape LeBron. It's ridiculous how it seems like every single team the Lakers play, it doesn't even matter how bad they are, they somehow always get a large percent of the vote. Only about 100,000 people or less combined could care about the Nets or the Pacers or the Thunder. The Bulls are a boring and bad team that rarely ever beats any serious team and get most of their wins against mediocre or horrible teams. It feels like the Lakers could win fan night if they were playing a 98-year old grandmother, Dick Cheney, Kwame Brown, and Mark Blount, the worst team ever to play.
