I love the NBA for 50 years but I will not watch buy merchandise or go to games anymore! Totally unacceptable to put a Sunday night playoff game on Prime only We pay for cable buy merchandise and go to games but that's not enough money for the NBA IAM DONE NEVER TO SUPPORT NBA AGAIN

NBA League Pass is so lame! Commercial Break graphics and sound track sucks! You would think that they could update instead of showing the same photos and shitty soundtrack all season long!

This app is regularly crashing and forces you to restart streams. Of course this becomes a multi step process as the app usually plays the Spanish language broadcast as the default stream (with no way to set a preference) so you have to start the stream, then start it again in the correct language if you don’t speak Spanish. THEN you have to fast forward back to your place in the game because this app lacks the ability to keep your place unlike every other streaming app on the planet. So we’re not talking a one step irritation, it’s more like a 2 minute multi step process every time the app screws up, which is usually multiple times a game. In previous years the NBA seems to switch developers and for some reason they often change things during the playoffs, often causing spoilers to show even if you have no scores mode on. Have had countless games spoiled by using this app. To the current developer’s credit they haven’t broken the app and added spoilers during this year’s playoffs YET, so I’m going to up my rating to 2/5 instead of 1/5 due to this promising achievement.

It's been unfortunate but year after year the product has been decreasing in quality. It used to be only technical things, making the experience less smooth by the season but this year is a blatant case of skimpflation. Indeed the League Pass is now spamming us with mandatory commercials despite paying. When reaching out to customer support, I have been passed on like a hot potato, having to re-explain every time and formulate my questions, only to barely get an answer that was: "You can pay the new premium feature to get rid of ads". In conclusion, we pay the same, and get spammed with ads we cannot skip that they didn't used to have (they put a timer, and sometimes this timer even appears on other screens and it's impossible to skip for up to 5mn), and we get a lower quality product as a result with a frustrating experience. Accepting this is the open door to having more commercials in the next seasons, and having to pay premiums to have the product we used to enjoy for so many years. Disappointing, and this is possibly the last year I will pay for the League Pass. With all the free streaming options available out there, I would rather have to deal with commercials that I don't pay to watch.

I do not agree with the decision of continuing the season despite the pandemic. I think of it as a cash grab that doesn't care about the well-being of their players. David Stern wouldn't have allowed this. So disappointing.
