NBA offers free preview of games

NBA fans still have a week remaining to catch every scheduled game free on the league’s NBA League Pass out-of-market package.

The free preview will run through Jan 8, 2012.

NBA League Pass has a $169 price tag for a year’s worth of live out-of-market games. Note, Lakers and Clippers games will be blacked out.

Typically, consumers will receive up to 40 games per week across 10 channels. This year, NBA League Pass subscribers will not only be granted access to all the games on NBA.com, but for the first time, viewing of games on mobile devices — all included in the yearly package price.

With the purchase of NBA League Pass on digital cable, subscribers get access to NBA League Pass Broadband and NBA League Pass Mobile on an “authenticated” basis. This means that consumers need to be subscribers of a multichannel program distributor, like a cable operator.

The free NBA preview can be found in the desert via Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS and DirecTV.

Some of the features of the package include same-day replays of games, dual-feed telecasts of home and visiting team announcers, a multi-screen mosaic, which offers up multiple screen of snapshots of live action games around the league, and a stats channel and HD games
