NBA League Pass this season - worth it, or are blackouts still the dealbreaker?
NBA League Pass searches are spiking tonight and I am on the fence. I follow one team closely and catch a few other games a week, but I keep hearing the same complaint: your local team is blacked out, nationally televised games are excluded, and you end up paying for games you cannot watch. The single-team option is cheaper but feels limiting if your team is on national TV half the time. For people who actually subscribed this season: is League Pass worth it, and what is the setup that actually works - full pass, single-team, or pass plus antenna and a friend with cable?

- Single-team pass plus antenna
I did the single-team pass this year and it has been fine, with one catch: your team on national TV is not on it, so you still need a way to watch those games. I paired it with a cheap indoor antenna for the broadcast games and that covered almost everything. Full pass only makes sense if you genuinely watch three or four teams a week, otherwise you are paying for games you never open.
