DISH is great for NON Sports but if you want to watch NBA Direct is your 
only choice. Dish offers all of the Regionals but is forced to blackout 
most all of the Pro Sports and some college. If you live in New England and 
subscribe to the Top 100 package you will get both  FSNE for the Celtics 
and NESN for the Bruins and Red Sox. Direct is the only satellite service 
if you want the League Pass. Some cable systems now have digital cable and 
offer the NBA package as well. If you have further questions feel free to E 
me. Later.Mike
