I’m excited to see what Wemby brings this year. And I’ll get to see the best of it in clips on YouTube and Twitter. That doesn’t mean that I’m interested in watching an entire game of the Spurs team.

I don't agree with the Nuggets being so high on the list. They weren't that interesting to watch last year on their way to the title, and they will continue that this year. It's ok though, as Joker demonstrated, the best can be boring too.

[Rafael122]

Any team that has Dwight Powell listed as a starter should not be ranked top 10 in the league pass rankings.

[SK21209]

I'd rather watch some of these lower ranked teams with young,exciting players than these other solid teams that are kind of boring.

Exactly. Who the hell is excited to watch the Clippers or Sixers? Give me the Magic and Blazers and Thunder and Spurs any day.

I feel like this is how I go into a lot of seasons, but by the end of November or so I get tired of watching bad basketball I trend more toward watching the teams that will eventually make the playoffs.

The Nuggets might not have storylines beyond their title defense (and the experiment of filling out their bench with a youth movement), BUT the offense is just too fun to watch. If you actually like watching basketball, what beats the Nuggets? Jokic passes are elite highlights and there's a chance every night he throws a pass we've never seen before. The pieces around him all fit so well and are entertaining to watch. Murray's perimeter artistry and two-man game with Jokic, Gordon brutalizing mismatches, throwing nice passes, and occasionally throwing down dunk of the year candidates? MPJ could be healthier and have more flamethrower games.

What is boring about the Nuggets?

[cupcakesnake]

I don't get the Warriors ranking so high. This team is old and it would be very surprising if we didn't have long stretches with Curry (or Klay, CP3, Draymond etc.) not playing. I'm intrigued by their young guys but we'll wait and see if they'll play. Curry is certainly electric, and I love watching Draymond's defensive genius, but after that this team gets kinda ugly. CP3's conservative possessions, Klay trying to keep the fire from burning out by shooting it every time he touches it, Draymond's complete lack of scoring ability.

If they were in the top half of the rankings, I'd be fine with that, but seeing them top 2 surprised me a little.

[FrobeBryant]

I'd have 1) Bucks 2)Celtics 3)Nuggets 4) Suns 5) Lakers 6) Warriors

Warriors and Nuggets are too high and Boston too low

[TyCobb]

I bought league pass for the first time ever so I can watch Wembanyama games.

[And1+2]

Don't get me wrong, we are still near the bottom of the totem pole, but I would think that the Raptors are going to be far more watchable without Fred VanVleet pounding the rock and going hero mode every game, chucking ill advised shots and getting blocked at the rim over and over and over.

It can't possibly get any worse than what I had to witness last year. I frigging hope not, anyway...

[holdenwait]

I'm a Chicago fan/local and to list Chicago higher than Portland (even if just by 1) in a "watchability" list is frankly ridiculous. we should be 2nd to last right after Wizard.. and if Poole is cooking even that might be debatable lol..

yeah I'm bored to death by the Bulls roster, sigh...

I'll watch the Raps for Dick

[binjumper]

ESPN don't take it seriously at all. Disney company.

[JasonStern]

Shoot my shot now - Blazers will be fun to watch. So much athleticism. It takes more than athleticism to win games. They will be bad. But the highlight reels will give Blazers fans unrealistic expectations of future performances and player values.

[DwayneSchintzus]

are the Spurs still the 14th most interesting team to watch?

[hardenASG13]

I don't know, those Haliburton led pacers are must see TV haha. If people aren't watching the spurs they are missing out on something very special.

[Godymas]

idk why he has Indy so high, they never seem that fun to watch imo. Mostly because you kind of know this team is still going nowhere and it's not like they have anyone that's young and exciting outside of Haliburton and I don't believe Haliburton is THAT exciting of a player to watch

[DwayneSchintzus]

i really like halliburton. he's awesome.

but is anyone actually going to watch his games while Wemby is on?

The Cavs play the Pacers tonight. Does anyone really think that will be more fun to watch than what happened last night?

[hyper316]

Yes, I am a Spurs fan so the bias is obvious.

That being said, in about 40 minutes of game time we have seen 7 or 8 things that we haven't seen on a basketball court before. I think the Spurs should be higher than Cleveland or Indiana based on that alone.

But if that's what y'all want to watch, who am i to argue?

Sounds like going to see a freak show

[BasketballAnon]

I was picking the Spurs before the season started and so far they are the most interesting team to watch for a League Pass team. Wenbayama really does look like he might be the next best thing and they've been in pretty exciting games.
