NBA League Pass w/ Dish Network - Laker Coverage

[Eric]

Did anyone have this last year? If so then how good is the coverage for Laker Games?
Here's what they say about it:

NBA League Pass gives you up to 40 regular season games a week not otherwise available in your local area.

I'd like to know how many of the Laker and Heat games they cover.

I just found out from Dish Networks that NBA League Pass is free to evaluate from now until the 28th.

Looks like I'll be watching the Lakers vs the Nuggets tonight on channel 560.

From what I remember from last season the lakers home games are all aired on FSN and the away games are on KCAL. I don't remember missing any games last season. Don't know about preseason tho. But I do know that it's not like it was in the old days where they would blackout games if they didn't sell out. Thank God for FSN.

Yes, you're right. In LA it is simple, KCAL 9 for road games and Fox for home games. It is more complicated for me because I moved up to Sac earlier this year.

Also, I'm keeping my share 10% of season tickets. I'll make it down for some games but I'll probably sell a few too.

The Lakers still miss Shaq, their interior play tonight was not good.

I think Miami has a great chance to win it all this year.

[Theeggman]

Ahh. I ASSumed. Sorry you gotta pay to watch em. Yeah, the Lakers lost the most dominant player in NBA history last season. You're right, Miami will likely be the team to beat in the east - again. btw, if you need to offload any tix for this season I'm interested. gl w/ur tv coverage issues.

Our draft is on Thursday so I'll let you know if I pick any games that aren't good for me schedule-wise.

I want to follow both Miami and San Antonio this year. The Spurs added Michael Finley and Van Exel so they'll be good too.
