NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

[Andrew]

Well, I can't complain too much about that. But even if they weren't, I'd rather get 4-5 games with an over-saturation of certain teams rather than no games at all.

[TomCat]

Didn't watch the Nugs v Clips game on ESPN today but probably should've. Would've loved to have seen the Nuggets get beaten!

[Andrew]

Nuggets/Clippers wasn't shown on ESPN Australia, only the first half of the doubleheader (Magic/Celtics).

[TomCat]

Oh oops lol, thought they were showing the 2nd half of the header, sorry. Well probably should've watched that game anyway. Looks like it would've been a good one. I love watching the Magic play

[Andrew]

It looked like it might be a bit anti-climactic after the first quarter but it turned out to be a pretty decent game down the stretch. Unfortunately for the Celtics, Sheed was ice cold from the outside. Give him two or three from downtown and they would have eked out the win.

Does One HD only show live games on Wednesday and Friday, with a 'Game of the week' match on Saturday (I think)?

[Andrew]

That's right, though it appears they'll be showing Christmas Day games this year (Boxing Day our time), meaning they'll air a couple of games on a Saturday this year. ESPN will also have a Christmas Day game shown here this year.

I was under impression it only shows NBA games on just Wednesday & Friday (with exception of playoffs), but I could be wrong.

They show one game on Wed, double header on Fri and then a game of the week on the weekend as well as a half hour segment called 'Real NBA'.

[Lightning Strike]

Thanks for that Sit, I guess I know what I'm doing on Monday's and Friday's this Summer.

[Andrew]

Seems we're getting Bucks/Thunder tomorrow instead of Suns/Timberwolves; shame Bogut's out.

[Lightning Strike]

2 PM AEST is Portland v Miami on ONE HD, I'm really looking forward to this one, it's the first time I get to see Wade and Roy play live. Should be a good game as well!

Alright back from schoolies Saw the Lakers v Heat game, sick buzzer beater by Kobe

U come up to Goldy for schoolies?

And any word on what games are on this week?

[Andrew]

One HD has Bucks vs Celtics at 11:30 AM (AEDST) on Wednesday and a delayed broadcast of Magic vs Jazz on Friday (haven't checked the printed TV guide this week but it'll probably be sometime in the evening). ESPN has Kings vs Spurs at 12:30 PM on Thursday and Blazers vs Cavs at 12:00 PM on Saturday.

[Lightning Strike]

I'm excited for the Celtics game today, it's the first time I get to see my team play live. I also really like Milwaukee and I want to see Jennings and Bogut in full action and hopefully Redd doesn't steal to much of the spotlight.

Nah just went up to Lorne- a mate had a house up there, so free accomodation

Also Bogut played well today, but it was pissing me off that he has a good first quarter (12 points), then they barely give him any touches in the 2nd quarter because Jennings comes in jacking it up, then he gets more touches in the 3rd without Jennings, but then Jennings comes back fireing in the 4th- although Bogut had a few more touches in the 4th, than in the 2nd and its even more frustrating when i knew that was going to happen. Every time i see the Bucks play Bogut has 8-12 first q points because they give him lots of touches, then they forget about him somehow and he ends up with 13-16...

And Lightning Strike im sure you know by now Redd is injured...

[Andrew]

Presumably he'll back at some point this season though, he hasn't been ruled out as yet. His return at the end of November was certainly brief though.

[Lightning Strike]

And Lightning Strike im sure you know by now Redd is injured...

Yeah, I realized when I watched the game today that we was still out, which is weird since I swear I read that he returned last week.

EDIT: What Andrew was saying about his brief end of November return is most likely what I was talking about.

One HD

Today: Mavs v Blazers

Saturday: 5am (Brisbane time) and 8 am (Brisbane time) - double header!!!

[Andrew]

Yeah, Boxing Day is going to be great this year. The doubleheader on One HD and then Denver vs Portland on ESPN at 2:30. I'm going over to a friend's place for a BBQ/swapping of Secret Santa presents from 12 so I'll miss the game in the afternoon, but I'll be taping it and hopefully will be able to get up early enough to watch the two games in the morning live.

[Fresh8]

Which two games are first up?

probably LAL v CLE and another game?

[Andrew]

Boston @ Orlando followed by Cleveland @ LA Lakers.

[Andrew]

Finally got around to registering for ESPN 360/linking it to my Foxtel account. It isn't something I'd pay for but as a free extra for Foxtel sports subscribers it's worth the few minutes it takes to set it all up.

[Scotty]

^ ooh ooh ooh how'd you do that?
