Literally EVERY game I cared about this year was on NBA TV and blacked out on League Pass. That's infuriating. Rondo's return. Thomas' first game. Tonight's game vs the Pacers. All blacked out from a league pass service I actually pay for.
I'm in the same boat, and I find it absolutely infuriating as well.
Furthermore, I ordered mine through Verizon FIOS, and NBATV isn't even offered until like the 4th tier of channel packages, which is ridiculously expensive. I get ESPN and some other sports channels in the 2nd tier, but I'm not paying another thirty bucks a month for NBATV. I'll find the game elsewhere.
