Sounds about right. Atlanta, Toronto and Minnesota are the only teams that haven't been shown on Foxtel outside highlights during other games and the two overtime periods of the Pistons/Timberwolves game the other day.

The schedule for the rest of February (going by the listed times for all TBA games on Fox Sports and the NBA schedule):

Wednesday 7th: Memphis vs Houston (12:00 PM, Fox Sports 1)
Thursday 8th: LA Clippers vs Cleveland (11:00 AM, ESPN)
Friday 9th: Chicago vs Sacramento (2:30 PM, Fox Sports 3)
Saturday 10th: Miami vs Cleveland (12:00 PM, ESPN)
Wednesday 14th: Looks like it'll be Knicks/Lakers (2:30 PM, Fox Sports 2)
Thursday 15th: Bucks vs Celtics (11:30 AM, ESPN)
Friday 16th: Cavs vs Lakers (2:30 PM, Fox Sports 2)
Saturday 17th: Rookie/Sophomore Game (1:00 PM, ESPN)
Sunday 18th: All-Star Saturday (12:00 PM, ESPN)
Monday 19th: All-Star Game (12:30 PM, ESPN)
Wednesday 21st: Either Spurs/Nuggets or Bucks/Pistons (12:00 PM, Fox Sports 3)
Thursday 22nd: Heat vs Rockets (1:00 PM, ESPN)
Friday 23rd: Mavericks/Heat (1:30 PM, Fox Sports 2)
Saturday 24th: Wizards/Bulls (11:30 AM, ESPN)
Wednesday 28th: Suns/Pacers or Hornets/Cavs (11:00 AM, Fox Sports 2)

I was surprised too, but Miami and Cleveland are featured so I'd say it's legit. ;) By the way, Knicks/Lakers has been confirmed for next week.

I was just checking ahead on the Foxtel on screen Schedule and instead of having The Rookie Game Saturday, then All Star Saturday on Sunday, then the All Star Game Monday, it has it as Rookie Game Sat, All Star game Sun.... and im not sure what's listed on Monday cause it doesn't show that far, but still, they've got it mixed up... Same for everyone else?

If somehow that were true i really wouldn't mind it as my first day of uni will be the day off the main event of the weekend (if ofcourse, they televise it on the monday in AUS).

As I watched the replay of the Suns/Pacers game this evening, I couldn't help but think ESPN Australia should take a page out of Fox Sports' book and show their replays with minimal ads. No doubt wishful thinking, though.

I've gone through the March Foxtel guide and the NBA schedule, once again trying to piece together an NBA on Foxtel Schedule for March. There's probably a few errors for the moment which I'll correct as more information becomes available but here's what I've worked out so far:

Code: Select all
Date   Time   Channel   Game
Thursday, Mar 1st   11:30 AM   508   Knicks vs Celtics
Friday, Mar 2nd   12:00 PM   502   Cavs vs Mavs
Saturday, Mar 3rd   12:00 PM   508   Pistons vs Heat
Wednesday, Mar 7th   12:30 PM   502   Nets vs Mavericks
Thursday, Mar 8th   12:00 PM   508   Lakers vs Bucks
Friday, Mar 9th   12:00 PM   502   Bulls vs Magic
Saturday, Mar 10th   11:00 AM   508   Laker vs Sixers
Wednesday, Mar 14th   10:30 AM   501   Jazz vs Heat
Thursday, Mar 15th   12:00 PM   508   Suns vs Mavericks
Friday, Mar 16th   10:00 AM   501   Nets vs Heat or Spurs vs Bucks
Saturday, Mar 17th   12:00 PM   508   Suns vs Pistons
Wednesday, Mar 21st   11:30 AM   501   Clippers vs Bulls
Thursday, Mar 22nd   11:00 AM   508   Mavs vs Cavs
Friday, Mar 23rd   10:30 AM   501   Blazers vs Knicks
Saturday, Mar 24th   10:00 AM   508   Pacers vs Heat
Wednesday, Mar 28th   9:00 AM   502   Cavs vs Pacers
Thursday, Mar 29th   12:00 PM   508   Rockets vs Clippers
Friday, Mar 30th   12:30 PM   502   Pistons vs Bulls
Saturday, Mar 31st   12:30 PM   508   Clippers vs Kings

T-Wolves on Wednesday? Awesome!

Not really any surprises there. Us Bulls fans have been spoilt this year. No complaints at all.

No question, we've had at least one Bulls game per month thus far. And even when there hasn't been a Bulls game there's usually been some variety and at least one or two noteworthy matchups out of four per week. Definitely the best coverage since I got Foxtel back in 2004.

Yesss! I Noticed Nuggz are playin Lakers, i wasn't expecting it, cause of your first listings. I'm fairly happy with the ammount of Nuggets games thus far too, considering This is the first NBA Season, where i've actually watched a game(because we just got Foxtel & had a tiny dl limit).
Also i had Phx v Dal set to record on my IQ and i get home and notice all the clocks are flashing, meaning the power went off during the day and it just happened to be in the middle of my recording, so i lost the whole thing :x
Oh well i'll record it tonight, but i wanted to watch it after school...

Daylight savings in the US threw out my detective work somewhat. Daylight saving in Australia ends in a couple of weeks too so I'd say there's going to be a few more corrections in regards to the Fox Sports schedule.

Anyway, just checked ahead and it looks like there's good news for both of us next Friday; they'll be showing Bulls vs Nuggets.

Code: Select all
Date   Time   Channel   Game
Friday, Mar 16th   1:30 PM   501   Nuggets vs Lakers
Saturday, Mar 17th   1:00 PM   508   Suns vs Pistons
Wednesday, Mar 21st   12:30 PM   501   Rockets vs Pacers
Thursday, Mar 22nd   11:00 AM   508   Mavs vs Cavs
Friday, Mar 23rd   11:30 AM   501   Bulls vs Nuggets
Saturday, Mar 24th   10:00 AM   508   Pacers vs Heat
Wednesday, Mar 28th   9:00 AM   502   Cavs vs Pacers
Thursday, Mar 29th   12:00 PM   508   Rockets vs Clippers
Friday, Mar 30th   12:30 PM   502   Pistons vs Bulls
Saturday, Mar 31st   12:30 PM   508   Rockets vs Lakers
