Its always cheaper to sign up EARLY! before the season starts, because the price goes up after the season starts!. BTW i just read a newspaper article that says that games televised on ABC,ESPN,TNT,or NBA TV wont be ''live'' but WILL BE AVAILBLE 3 HOURS AFTER THEY END! As i just signed up for team pass to just watch celtics games. I noticed the nba,com site will also let you upgrade to nba league pass if you change your mind .
