Sorting (at the bottom) indicates:

Nationally broadcast: 22 games

ABC - 4 games
ESPN - 11 games
TNT - 7 games.

It doesn't list NBA TV as an option, but I imagine there will be some of them as well.

Beware of that Dec. 3-10 Celtics road trip - Utah, Portland, Lakers, Clippers, Suns. Then return home for, in order, Bucks, Warriors, Knicks and 76ers.

Looks like the toughest stretch will be early, between Nov 24 and Dec 13. Beginning with a home game vs Crooklyn and then 7-8 on the road (the home game vs the Sixers) and then a home game vs the Buck on Dec 13 after returning from the extended road trip.

Murderer's row Brooklyn (H), SA (A) Toronto (A), Sixers (H), Utah, Portland, LAL, LAC, Suns - all away games and then Bucks at home.

The 10 Most Underrated Games on Celtics' 2021-22 Schedule

By Marc D'Amico | @Marc_DAmico
Celtics.com
August 20, 2021

There’s a long list of hyped up games on Boston’s 2021-22 schedule. There’s also a long list of underrated games that might not catch one’s eye upon initial review.

That’s why we’re here. We went beyond the obvious matchups and put together a list of our 10 most underrated games of the season, and you can find that list below.

No. 10 – Dec. 18 vs. New York Knicks
Boston vs. New York was fun last season thanks to Tom Thibodeau and Julius Randle revitalizing the Knicks. This year, these matchups will add an additional punch (or two).

Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker both departed Boston this offseason and eventually signed on with the Knicks. The upstart Knicks essentially brought back the same team and added Fournier and Walker to it. This matchup will mark the first time Fournier and Walker return to TD Garden to hear the Celtics’ faithful’s jeers as visitors.

No. 9 – Nov. 6 at Dallas Mavericks
It’s tough to be underrated when you’ve got one of the best players in the world on your roster, but that might just be what the Dallas Mavericks are heading into this season. The league is now so balanced, with so many competitive teams, that Luka Doncic and the Mavs aren’t necessarily regarded as top contenders. But they sure are going to be really good, and really fun to watch, if only for the presence of Doncic.

No. 8 – Nov. 17 at Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta surprised the basketball world by advancing to the Conference Finals last season on the wings of Trae Young’s incredible play. Yet it might just be underrated as well.

Some might believe Atlanta’s playoff run was a fluke. That’s fine. But it’s impossible to deny the fact that the Hawks went 37-19 from March 2 through the end of the postseason. Boston went 1-2 against the Hawks last season and will be looking to flip that script this season.

No. 7 – Nov. 1 vs. Chicago Bulls
There may be no team in the league that took a bigger leap this offseason than the Bulls. Chicago, which already had Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic along with promising youngsters like Patrick Williams and Coby White, added DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso to the mix. That’s a heck of a summer.

Boston and Chicago, along with a handful of other teams, will undoubtedly be jockeying for playoff positioning throughout the season. This will be the first time their new rosters meet.

No. 6 – March 3 vs Memphis Grizzlies
It might not be obvious, because they didn’t make the Playoffs last season, but the Memphis Grizzlies actually got better last year.

Memphis logged a 38-34 record last season after surprising the league and playing its way into the play-in games inside the 2019-20 bubble. They are still led by Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., but added Steven Adams and Rajon Rondo this offseason. The young Grizzlies are on a strong development track and will be a tough opponent every night.

No. 5 – Jan. 19 vs. Charlotte Hornets
Boston won two of its three games last season against a Charlotte team that may have competed for a top-six spot in the East had it not lost Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball for a stretch of five-plus weeks and lost Gordon Hayward for the final month of the season.

Hayward is one of two Hornets, along with Terry Rozier, who last played for the C’s, which adds some juice to this matchup. The Hornets also added Kelly Oubre Jr., Mason Plumlee, Ish Smith and first-round picks James Bouknight and Kai Jones to a team that is undoubtedly on the up-and-up.

No. 4 – Jan. 31 vs. Miami Heat
Ah, the good ol’ days are back. Boston vs. Miami is again one of the premier matchups in the Eastern Conference.

While the Celtics are playing to return to the upper echelon of the East with largely the same core, Miami used an offseason spending spree to try to catapult itself back into the Finals. The Heat added Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker and Markieff Morris to the roster while also re-signing Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo.

This contest will mark the first time they’ll meet at TD Garden this season, before potentially needing to go through each other in the Playoffs.

No. 3 – April 6 at Chicago Bulls
Another Chicago game, but for a different reason. By this point of the season, at Boston’s 80th game, at least a handful of teams will be competing for playoff positioning in the East. Boston and Chicago are likely to be two of those teams. Playoff seeds may very well be on the line during this game, and would guarantee a heck of a show at TD Garden.

No. 2 – Feb. 11 vs. Denver Nuggets
Remember the Denver Nuggets? The team that went to the Conference Finals in the bubble and has the reigning NBA MVP plus a strong cast around him?

You might have forgotten because they lost their star point guard Jamal Murray to a torn ACL in mid-April and were therefore removed from title contention. But with Nikola Jokic around, and with the continued growth of Michael Porter Jr. and a full season of Aaron Gordon, plus the eventual return of Murray, Celtics-Nuggets is a matchup which everyone should be eying.

No. 1 – Feb. 16 vs. Detroit Pistons
Look, there’s no sugar coating it: the Pistons coming to town hasn’t been a draw in years. But things might just be a changin’ in Detroit.

The Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery and the rights to select consensus No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham with that selection. Cunningham is a big guard who is believed to be a franchise-altering talent, and one who performed as such during the NBA Summer League. He averaged 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in Las Vegas while shooting 50 percent from long range.

Cunningham’s presence alone makes this a must-see game at TD Garden. Throw in the return of former Celtic Kelly Olynyk with his new team, and that’s just icing on the cake.

So that's 32 games out of 82 that won't be available in NBA League Pass. In other words, that leaves only 50 games for League Pass. That's $2.40/game.

Fair deal or ripoff?

2.40 a game is cheap

Exactly. I don't know how many times I've read that someone wants to cancel their LP because "most of the games are nationally broadcast and LP is too expensive for what games remain".

Now that it has been quantified, $2.40/game doesn't sound so expensive after all. 21-22 Schedule 1f3c0

$.60 per quarter. That's only $.05 per minute, and that's per minute of play. Timeouts, out of bounds and other non-clock events like instant replays and technicals are free!

gyso I spent most of my years since moving from boston in a blackout situation for the celtics, so I just build the cost into the old budget. I have team pass $17.99 per month. I cancel as soon as the regular season is over. Based on 50 games in 7 months it comes to around $2.50 per game.

I think it is an acceptable fee.

I just cancelled my LP subscription. I paid by the year. I may start it up when the season starts, it depends.

My reasons:

I want to be able to watch the game on my time, pause it when I want and come back to it when I want.

Features taken away in the last 3-4 seasons:

The ability to pause a game, do something else for 5 minutes and then go back to the game where I left off.
The ability to come into a game late and watch from the beginning.
The ability to start watching a live game without watching commercials first.
The ability to actually talk to someone at LP, in case I may be doing something wrong or there are other options.

Also, I count only 47 games that will get pass the blackouts, so that is a little over 50% of the games I'll actually get to watch on LP. We play Charlotte 4 times, one is nationally broadcast, so there are 3 more games that I cannot watch.

I poked around their website trying to find a phone number to call. When I finally found the right link, the reply was that a phone call was not possible until the new season started. They will take my money before the season starts (September) but their entire customer service crew isn't available to me until late October?

My subscription was on line only, without going through a carrier (cable TV, dish, etc.) Maybe some of the features I liked in the past were available then because I went through Time Warner/Spectrum in the past.

Would the features become available if I went through some other entity, like YouTube TV, which I have. Is that possible? League Pass is unavailable to walk me through my options, so for now they can do without my money.

Maybe YouTube TV's website has answers.

I have Youtube TV. They have NBA LP as an add on for $39 per month. I think they may also have an annual payment option but i need to verify that. You can pause games and anything you are watching.

I did not have that add on. With all the NBA games on anyways, I decided not to get LP. I decided to get the NBA app because they let you pick just one team (TP). The functionality is not great because you have to wait until after the game is completed to access the recorded game. It does however let you choose a condensed game with no commercial or just see the highlights (again, once the game has been completed) I do not remember if you can pause a game. I think not.

If Youtube ever offers just the Team option I will definitely go with that add on because their platform is stable and very user friendly.

I have enjoyed using streaming services. The caveat is to make sure you have a high speed Wi-Fi connection and unlimited data plan which is usually included with high speed connections.

Hi,
RE LP: You can pause for a few minutes. Also, you can watch the whole game later but after some time interval ( they say it's 15 min but I'm not sure).

Some providers have a favorite team option that is much cheaper. I used it last year. I believe it was just $40. Dboss?

$40 is a great deal if available to me.
