As far as I'm aware Skysports still have the 2 games on a sunday, usually at 5 and 8 pm I think, or around those times anyway.

Same as well last year. What a joke. I pretty much only have cable tv for the bball and footie.

League Pass is great value, even if you go with the option to pay monthly, it works out at less than a tenner a month.

It is, but the problem is the blackouts every time they go to ads. I hate the way they leave you staring at a blank screen.

It's great to sit down and watch a live game, but don't let me sit in silence and stare at the walls for entertainment when there is a stoppage.

I get you, what I do is I put on the multiscreen then and just watch another game during breaks. They've filled those breaks with Nba moment clips though which are good for about a month and become very repetive then I must say.

Its 149 for the year? Which is more than a tenner a month or am I missing something?

There was a few discount codes floating around the place around the time of the summer leagues. I paid 150 for the premium and a buddy of mine got the normal package for 120 odd euro back then.

Oh right, considering signing up to this but just not sure if I will have the time to be watching the games.

No TV coverage is starting to piss me off now. Thought it would be sorted out by now.

Can you get the league pass on your Xbox or PS3 over here?

I hope they get something sorted for Christmas day. It was cool having my friends around in the evenings watching the game. Hopefully we can do it again.

Can you get it to work on the Ps3? It says they've released the Game Time app for the Ps3 but no sign of it in the store. Think it might be US only.

Regret getting League Pass this year. Should have signed up for ballstreams.com as it's half the price, but by the time I found out about it, it was too late.

My understanding was that you just asked for one and they offered? Not sure tho as I didn't apply.

True enough, but flick over to another game. Much rather watch the team in a huddle for time out, watch how the coach earns his.money, even if the sound is mute, just to see the body language

Getting very very very tired of the BIG ads with Carmelo and the creepy one from Blake Griffin. Biigg Ddunnkss .Really creepy.lol. Poor bastard must be dying to get off that stools. Still the Christmas ad is Brilliant. Can't get tired of that one! Don't get me started on the ad for Inside Stuff.what a silly name for a show.

You.can always look at the detailed box.scores.

BT Sport and the NBA have reached an agreement for exclusively live television coverage of top NBA games and programming in the UK and Ireland.

The multi-year agreement between BT Sport and the world’s premier men's professional basketball league tips off on Sunday December 1, as the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers, featuring Paul George and Roy Hibbert, take on West Coast rivals the LA Clippers, featuring Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, at 8.30pm UK time on BT Sport 2.

Coverage will include weekly games on Sundays in primetime.

Fans will also be able to access selected games streamed live and for free on the BT Sport website and BT Sport App (available on iOS and Google Play) along with either nba.com and NBA LEAGUE PASS International. Full schedule details of games will be confirmed in due course.

The new agreement will see up to 200 games throughout the season, appearing across BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN. There will be up to seven live games per week throughout the regular season and the first and second rounds of the NBA Playoffs, as well as every game of the Conference Finals, culminating in the NBA Finals in June.

As part of the partnership, fans will be able to watch GB’s Luol Deng and the Chicago Bulls take on the Brooklyn Nets as one of five scheduled games on BT Sport on Christmas Day, making BT Sport one of the few places to go for live televised sport on Christmas Day.

The Nets will face off against the Atlanta Hawks at The O2 in London on January 16, as part of NBA Global Games 2014. The game - which sold out in record time - will be live on BT Sport.

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: "BT Sport will be the new home of the NBA in the UK and Ireland.

"The NBA is simply the best basketball in the world. It is fast moving, high scoring and includes some the world’s most recognisable global sporting icons.

"Existing NBA fans will love our coverage, and we look forward to converting many more."

One of the highlights of BT Sport’s coverage will be NBA All-Star which takes place every year in February at the midway point of the NBA season.

A global celebration of basketball, NBA All-Star consists of a variety of basketball events and competitions, including the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest, culminating in the NBA All-Star Game.

The All-Star Game pits the league's star players from the Eastern Conference against their counterparts from the Western Conference, with the starting line-up for each team selected by fans from around the globe.

Also included in the partnership will be several magazine shows:

NBA Action combines weekly highlights and news
NBA Inside Stuff will provide fans with a unique insight into the lives of NBA stars both on and off the court
NBA Tonight provides an overview of the NBA through interviews and analysis
NBA Countdown, the live game build up show before selected games

Was thinking of picking up NBA League Pass. I rarely get to watch sports live at night and with NFL Game Pass I usually watch the Sunday games on Monday. Are the NBA games archived ? Do the archived games have the TV commercials cut out ?
