For those who can get Comcast Cable packages, like I do in the Houston area, it is soooo much better than cable in Dallas. If Dallas ever considers switching, support it.
The biggest advantage of a quality cable connection....it works. I have had 0 problems with League Pass in 7 years now. If a game is blacked out, I have the local cable channels. In Houston, I get FSSW but not for the Mavericks. I do get the Stars and Rangers because a different channel covers the Rockets and Astros.
I know, it is all about money and preferences. But the internet is the fastest and it works. I do not mind spending money on our Mavericks. It helps me get over not having season tickets anymore like I did for 30 years.
Regarding who are the announcers: For many games, you get to choose either of the two teams home announcers. For others, there is only one available. It is quite clear that Dallas announcers are available more than most all of the other teams when their team is on the road.
It is interesting to listen to the road announcers. It helps us to appreciate Mark and to a lesser degree, Derek. They are definitely top 5 in the league and would get votes for #1. The passing of Tommy Heinsohn, God Bless him, does get rid of by far the worst announcing team in basketball. Of all the Homers, he took the cake.
Our team is good for many reasons but it is striking how they seem to understand that people who like the other team watch these broadcasts.
Finally for those who have never seen League Pass, if your game is on the networks, League Pass will not have the game. The same is true for NBA TV broadcasts.
Thanks for all of the above interesting information, especially the foreign league pass info.
