NBA League Pass is more expensive, but you get more too. For the season, it'll probably be a bit over $200. But that's for every game, and 'games on demand' (that you can watch whenever). You can get a 'team package', where you could get every Blazers game - I think that runs at about half price?
You can also watch with your X-Box (if you have one), or on your phone or tablet.
My PC's screen is big-ass... so fine with that. My kid/wife tend to dominate the TV any way, and also with LP I can watch games at lunch time, or on the road (traveling).
