It is very bad indeed. On my IPad, half of the time when I log on, I can’t even see which teams are playing but I can see the time left in the game. I have to click on the game to see which teams are actually playing. Other times, I hear the audio of the live feed but the video shows the pregame or the crowd, but if I minimize, the small video shows the actual game. And sometimes when I click on a game, I’m given a random feed in a different language.

Living in Australia, I’m at the mercy of League Pass if I want to watch Portland, but the decrease in quality of the app has made me feel like I’ve wasted my money.


I’m in same boat. When it finally opened today, I was getting Portuguese

I knew all 3 pacers were gonna hit the 3 on first attempt also. Scottie Barnes shorts are too tight lol I’m surprised he can even move at this point

In the replay, there's a guy literally on his phone texting while this is happening. Can't say I blame him for not caring.

I think we'd all rather watching a mini 3v3 tourney between these teams instead of a skill comp

They should have an athletic competition for this. Highest vert, fastest across the court, etc. Like the combine...

The chaos of how bad they all were on the passing round makes it hilarious. How is this possible.

Are you suggesting Curry's going to intentionally miss his shots? There are no judges in the 3 point contest.

They could literally make up any numbers for this passing segment and I wouldn't be able to argue it.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

This is an example of how to make a selection of the most skilled and athletic humans on the planet look normal.

This **** is so damn stupid. The first iteration of the skills competition was easily the best: players going through a simple but thorough course trying to get the best time. Both the race format and these new team formats have been lame.

This contest seemingly has no rules at all.

The first iteration sucks. Way too simple.

Basically this competition is being gifted to the Pacers team?
