Anyone bought League Pass?

I bought it in November using the 5 month option and after a month they can't seem to charge me for the 2nd month. Properly annoying as I've missed some well good games in the last few days.

Their help service is utterly awful too. They just send stock messages, it's like talking to a wall.

I've had it for years and never a problem.

I've only written once about subs (the discount) and they got back to me the next day.

You need to get back on. I've just perused the Christmas day lineup. Mouth watering.

My wife and son head off on Boxing day to see my daughter for a few days. I'm going to link the laptop to our massive TV screen, install myself on the couch and watch all five games one after the other "as live" Can't wait.

FIF you really are a sad little man. You go on about things as if you know what your talking about but come across as noy having a clue.

Every Knick game somebody comments about you just slate them and talk rubbish about how they played blah blah blah You make so many contradictions on each post its laughable. I don't blame you for defending your team, unfortunately your team won't defend there title as well as you defend them. And to say that it doesn't matter at the moment as we are only in december, any player/coach knows that winning breeds winning, every win goes towards the goal of the playoffs and putting themselves into the best position for the playoffs.

And to say that you hate all knicks and Bulls fans is just a joke ( a bit like you).

I've been a Knicks fan for years and its nice that they are doing well at the moment. Like any support you take the rough with the smooth. To say that you hope a player dies sums up what a prat you really are.

Enjoy your day of watching basketball.

you're a knicks fan - enough said.

I'm sure you were a Linsanity fan until he was stomped on by the heat.

Still makes a change for the Knicks fans to actually admit it - haven't heard anything from you over the last 10 years.

[Ozwin]

Managed to get League Pass working again at last, it all ballsed up because my phone number wasn't correctly formatted with the +44 thing, ugh, shambles.

Maybe not all Knicks fans are like that.

I couldn't stand Linsanity and was happy for him to go to a different team. Along with Fields and Douglas and the other rubbish they had.

Like i said, i'm taking the rough with the smooth and enjoying the good times, they are winning games that they would of lost in previous years, Just like tonights win against Cleveland.

Good to see Felton stepping up, being a point guard myself i like to see a good driving player. I was even a Marbury fan so not your usual Knicks fan.

Heat could do with a decent Guard instead of relying on James to play every position.

So you think Wade, Allen and Chalmers as options aren't good enough?

I am a fan of Knicks as well, them and LA Clippers are the teams i'm following this season.

[Guest]

There are a number of fun teams to watch this season. Obviously I've watched every Heat game but I've watched a lot of Knicks, Nets, Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers and Grizz games too. Now that Rubio is back I'll probably watch quite a few Timberwolves games as well.

[Ozwin]

The beauty of the NBA is there's always a game worth watching pretty much every night.

The scrub teams like the Raptors, Suns, Bobcats, Wizards, Kings etc I tend to avoid, but if they're playing a powerhouse then it's always worth watching for the potential upset.

I wish League Pass had a reminded feature to let you know when games are about to start.

[martyn]

Shame the Suns are now rubbish, loved the team with Nash feeding Amare. I love flashy passing point guards so will also be checking out the T'Wolves now Rubio is fit again.

Golden State the big surprise so far, David Lee is absolutely beasting. Their best side since Baron Davis was running the show.

[ACF]

20 turnovers against the Spurs is only going to end one way, paying the price for not putting Dallas away in regulation.

[Cruss5]

Wade and Allen are not point guards and Chalmers is an average guard. Which is why James takes the guard duties. He can do it but i think others would be better placed playing that position to let him do what he does best.

FIF - In your opinion, will Heat retain the Championship?

I think they are the strongest team and will be there or there abouts come June. For me, if the knicks improve from last year then its a succesful season.

Chalmers is an average point guard at best but he has a pair of balls the size of coconuts. Norris cole is progressing nicely at PG and is a terror on defence with great speed - now he just needs to learn control on the O but I'd certainly look at bringing in a PG if a decent one shakes loose during the season. Chauncey Billups would have been nice last year - but then again he has hardly played through injury since.

Wade can play PG and often does in the 4Q as does Lebron, In fact if we are going offensive then we're better off without a true PG and having Allen and Battier as 3 point threats.

As I said the Heat are not top 10 at the moment but I expect them to be in the mix come the playoffs. We should be in the conference finals at the very least and I'll be disappointed if we're not in the NBA finals. then it's down to who is on form and has the luck of the bounce.

Belief won't be a problem though.

[Guest]

gonna watch Lakers philly now.

Molly Sullivan uhm!

[stix]

Knicks down by 22pts with 6mins of the game remaining @ home to the Rockets.

Knicks were terrible. What did you think Kingfox? :xmastongue:

They are still top of the Eastern Conference, Oklahoma are flying yet they have lost two at home, while Knicks have only lost once so far.

I don't think I'd be comparing the Knicks with the Thunder just yet.

[Jordan]

Well, since you won't compare them with the Miami Heat just yet, either, since games in November and December magically don't count when your team loses, just who will you compare them to?

Just cause they lost doesn't make them shit again. 1 home loss, Oklahoma have lost 2 at home, are you going to say anything bad about them?

[Ozwin]

Not gonna lie I die a little inside when I see you lot use 'we' in regards to an NBA team.

Sort it out fellas.

If you write that question in understandable English I'll try to answer it.

you are comparing them to the losing NBA finalists Oklahoma are on a-whole-nother level to the Knicks. As I said I'll compare them to the Bulls of the last couple of seasons if they can keep it going all season.

If you'd followed a team since they were created for a quarter of a century and spent thousands of pounds watching them I think you'd perhaps say "we".

You must be the most irritable Heat fan in the world. No Heat fan from Miami cares this much about their team, the Knicks, or anything else in life.

Going to watch the Knicks on the 1st January against Portland.

From reading this thread I can't decide whether they're a decent team or a shit team getting lucky!

Carmelo Anthony, Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd, Tyson Chandler, Iman Shumpert - Knicks are definitely not shit.

Anyway I think it will be between five teams this year, Knicks, Miami, Oklahoma, Chicago and La Clippers.

Chicago will surely make a big push when Rose comes back.
