Is NBA Team Pass an option for folks like me?

[Hillbilly]

I live up in the foothills, in a sort of cable no mans land.
We have Dish Network, for now. I would need a 25 ft mast to put an antenna up for over the air channels.
We don't have access to any cable, but we do have access to a fairly good wireless internet system.
I am planning for next season. Do any of you guys use NBA Team Pass to watch Kings Games?
I don't need to pay extra to see other teams play, but this seems to be an option to get all the Kings Games streamed, which I am willing to pay for. Ultimately, we are looking at cutting back to an absolute basic plan from dish and then stream everything else.
Anyone use it? Comments?
Very much appreciate your thoughts...thank you.

I use it and it’s pretty good. I find the app to be buggy sometimes but happy over all. Personally I’d recommend getting the all team package. I did that this year and really enjoyed catching the occasional game from other teams. Enjoyed that more than I expected.

Depending on where you are at in the foothills, you might be blacked out from watching Kings game with League Pass/Team Pass.

Thanks for that warning, I am near Nevada City. I will check into that for sure before I take any steps. Again, thank you.

Yeah considering location and access to high speed internet, sounds like Youtube TV might be the way to go.

The other option (and I am totally not sure about the legality of this so feel free to delete this mods) is buying Japanese League Pass (ran by Rakuten) which I was able to use completely freely during my year back in the states without even using a VPN because Rakuten somehow hasn't geolocked the thing. Everything's going to be in Japanese (not the games themselves but the interface) but considering how strong the dollar is against the yen right now it might be a cost-effective option. The system will lag and crash whenever Rui and Watanabe Yuta play each other but aside from that it's been a workhorse for me.

I checked, and I would indeed be blacked out on the Team or League Pass. I'm an hour and a half drive from downtown Sac, seems a bit silly..and I have a lot of aftermarket parts in my spine so long car rides ain't a thing of joy these days.
I will continue to research, look into the other options. I really appreciate the feedback.

Try going to Sactown Sports 1140 online and do the "now playing" or "listen live" option or whatever it is. I listened to the G-Man for a good chunk of the way from San Luis Obispo to Salinas driving home.

Everytime I've tried that in the recent past(last 2 or 3 years) it was never the game. I'll look at it again. Thanks for the tip.

It used to be right on the 1140 home page.
