After a few hours, all I can say is... wrong choice. This is legit.

So far this has been perfect, and no scores on unless i want them to be. Which is great because I'm busier and busier these days. So, I'm not going to be able to watch games live as often at all, so I can watch whenever I get home at night, or the next day without worry of having the score spoiled for me. Worth the investment and sort of wish I went for the year sub.


I got six months for $60 but I noticed it sets you up for automatic renewal, which I turned off. I was glad to see that because I would have been pissed to pay $60 to have it from Apr 29th-Oct 29th.

It might not be an issue for you, but if you want to sign up for the annual one since it is cheaper or not have it over the summer than you might want to turn it off and others that haven't used it might want to be aware of this.

Yeah, I mean you can freeze it for the off-season. I'm probably going to get the year after this one expires so I won't need to worry about it for a while. Maybe freeze it during the all-star break, since it's longer now.

Yeah, six months gets me through the first round of the playoffs, and all rounds after that are nationally televised, so I won't need it until the season starts, so I see no real reason to get it for the full year.

Being using International LP for 4 years or how long has it been out.

And it has gone downhill fast.

They cut commercials and made u stare at a blank screen 2nd year.

3rd year they came out with some of their own commercials which make you sick to your stomach really soon .
Live started lagging constantly (i had/have superb connection at that time 150+mb ). Had to stay 10 minutes behind.

This year it they are interlacing their network stream. And they use flash so good luck deinterlacing that. So leaguepass irl has like 1500kbs vs 3500 kbs ballstreams.

They never listen to users suggestions. I read suggestions forums, all the issues and ideas where there years ago almost nothing has implemented or changed.

League pass is terrible! NBA.com soon to follow(or has already). I dont usually get worked up, but the level of incompetence is just mind boggling.

I was thinking he was out for like a month. Then again, I thought that about Rondo too.

Lebron looks done shooting 1-9 fg first half so far. He should of retired when he had a chance. Such a shame.

Both Durant and Westbrook out. OKC not on the Suns schedule until mid-December. I expect both will be back on the court by then. Quite a few other Western conference playoff contenders will get an early XMAS gift between now and then.

Alec Burks 4yr $42m?

I like him...but that's a lot of $$$$

Makes me even happier about the Bled deal. Just hope Dragic gets the same/slightly more...

Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday that the Wolves and Ricky Rubio have come to an agreement on a four-year, $55 million extension


Rubio wanted 4/$58M, Wolves wanted 4/$52M. Looks like they found the somewhat-middle ground at $55M.

Crazy to see Rubio asking for more than what Bledsoe got (per season).

It really makes me happy to see that the Suns got Bledsoe for such a killer deal compared to what all these guys are getting now.

I know... but that's kinda overpay. As long as we have some extra money to pay someone like Paul Millsap or something I'll be fine. I'd like to acquire some kind of big in free agency.

To me Dragic (especially with the new TV money) is easily a 16.5 million per year player. 5 times 16.5 equals 82.5.

Goran is not only good, he's durable. Not EVEN close to an overpay at 5/82.5

My 16.5m X 5 will almost surely be less than what Goran will get offered (for four years) by the Knicks? Lakers? Others? Will he give PHX a discount? Will Sarver match/beat a likely 17m or 18m per offer?

And unless the cap rises much more than anticipated, the Suns won't be FA signing players next summer.
