Doing a survey here.

Let's say it's a 7:30PM on a Wednesday.

Raps aren't playing.

do you just go with whatever nationally televised game (TNT, NBA TV, ESPN) is on?

or do u pick another way?

I watch the best matchups every day and watch every single game red zone/courtsurfing style switching to different games based on how close they are. Not watching blowouts

man i wish they brought back court surfing or started an nba redzone type show. it makes no sense that it's 2024 and it doesn't exist.

how do u know what the best matchup is? just the best teams record wise?

like look at the games this Fri - it's tough to tell.

Yeah it's easy to see what the best matchups are with record+ entertainment. Those friday matchups look amazing. I'll start off watching knicks @ magic and pacers @ celtics until the the twolves @ rockets start. Then ill switch back to those first 2 games if its a close game late and then during commercials I switch to other games until timeouts are over. Ja morant is must watch TV but the unhealthy pels are unwatchable so ill skip that game and continue the twolves rockets if its not a blowout. Then there's 2 amazing games to switch between with the cavs @ nuggets and mavs @ suns for the nightcap and then when those games are done ill just watch the rest of the average warriors clippers matchup. No commercials ever just straight nba action.

Nah IPTV

Every Memphis game I can and any elite matchups for the day

I watch the young exciting teams on the rise or already great. OKC, Houston, Orlando, San Antonio and the Knicks to a lesser extent.

and what if theyre playing at the same time

I start with the game I’m most excited about and then I court surf on league pass depending on how all the games are going.

I don't.

I only raptorize

Matchup dependent, how close the game is, how late the game is on and I’ll probably watch Wemby before any of the other teams or players. He definitely takes precedence just because of how unique he is. I want to observe every step of his progress, which will constantly evolve in these first few seasons.

I watched Wemby last year at the arena. On TV, I just watch the Raptors or Leafs or do something else.

I don't really care about any other prospects or players until the playoffs.

NBA League Pass worth it y'all think?

u pay for premium?

Quality of the teams which usually means a closer game. Then maybe the individual talent which could include teams outside playoff hunt.

Worth it for me, I live in the U.S. I did have an iptv sub that would always have the Toronto feed but I will gladly pay (anything) not to listen to Matt Devlin. I find it to be awesome, and not glitchy like others have said but mine is through Amazon Prime. So on my TV it's launched via the Prime app. Same with on mobile, it's via the Prime mobile app. Not sure if that makes a difference in terms of the glitches other people often complain about.

I once was streaming on my mobile and TV at the same time (same game) and it worked, mind you it was only for about 15 minutes. I believe this should not have worked because I don't have Premium. As far as I know, streaming on multiple devices is the only feature of Premium, is it not?

I didn't pay full price for my league pass (Fanduel $5 promo for free 3 months x 2) and I don't think it would be worth it if you did. Not only are every Raptors games blacked out but every game on TSN/Sportsnet is also restricted. Considering that both networks generally carry the marquee games for the day, you won't be able to watch them live through League Pass.

The biggest thing I do like about it though (not a fan of multiview) is the all possession cut they have after the games end. You can power through an entire game in around ~45mins with all the stoppages cut out. It's super convenient on days with a bunch of games on and I usually do the 10min cut for the first 3 quarters and then watch the all-possession cut for the 4th to be able watch as much as possible.

On topic: I usually just choose the game that would best represent a playoff-competitive atmosphere. If no games hit that criteria, I usually just stick to watching my favourite players/teams. As much as I love the Raptors, I have found myself watching less live games and just use the all-possession cuts when they play.
