$14.99 NBA Summer League Broadband

I am curious as to how many of you are going to pay the $14.99 fee to watch the Summer League games. I don't think they should charge this much just for summer games, but I would be willing to pay the money to watch the new prospects (James White, Joey Dorsey, Jermaine Taylor, etc.) and see how they perform. I only want to pay though if the games are promising to be in good quality and not like my local channel hosting a highschool football game.

So those of you that end up purchasing the plan and watching the game today at 3:00pm against Golden State, how is the experience? Good quality? Worth it? Entertaining or would you rather be doing something else?

Also, if anybody discovers any free feeds or other ways to watch it, let us know!

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

What website did you get this from?

I was just talking to with my friend about this very subject.

I'll probably end up paying for it.

$15 is fairly reasonable, though obviously I’d prefer for it to be free. It’s kind of annoying that they’re charging us to see the equivalent of scrimmages.

If anybody else is watching this...

it’s been fairly ugly so far (summer league is like that).

I’ve been impressed by Dorsey’s rebounding, White’s done pretty well (and has had some intriguing battles with Curry), and Budinger has played pretty well (but briefly).
18-17 Rockets with about 1:00 left in the first quarter.

1Q ends.

19-18 GSW.

A few funny things:
Darryl Watkins committing about three turnovers in one drive.
Chase Budinger coming into the game and immediately inbounding to Mike Green for a backcourt violation.
