NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

A couple of them are on ESPN, perhaps they'll pick up another game instead. They usually replace a couple of games around this point of the season so it's a possibility.

I don't mind Rockets, but i hate Pacers

Damn ESPN, Fox Sports are absolutely destroying them in terms of matches... Thanks God for Fox Sports this season...

and Andrew Melo is gonna drop 50 on the Bulls, i can feel it :lol:

Ha! I know better than to get goaded into this. I'll just say we'll see what happens on Friday and avoid The Jinx.

Im at school atm, but as soon as i get home im gonna watch the match! Can't wait!

Don't complain. I have to watch that team every game for the rest of the season.

One thing that does shit me about the foxtel coverage is their tendency to go to an ad break during a 20 second timeout.

Example: today Bulls vs Nuggets: We missed a Luol Deng bucket with about 3 minutes remaining that put the Bulls up. It does suck. And it should be easily remedied by having a diligent director at the controls.

That said, i still prefer it to the ESPN games.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Mar 23, 2007 2:42 pm

Yeah that is annoying, though ESPN has had its screw ups like that as well. During Game 6 of the Suns/Mavs series in 2005 they inexplicable cut to a repeat of PTI Australia after an ad break, which meant we missed most of the overtime. (N)

Bulls/Pistons won't be shown next week after all. As it stands today, this is how the rest of March looks:

Code: Select all: Date Time Channel Game 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 Warriors vs Suns Saturday, Mar 31st 12:30 PM 508 Rockets vs Lakers

i don't mind the switch, seeing as though i'll get to see both games anyway. Phx-GSW should be a great game.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sat Mar 24, 2007 11:36 am

ESPN Australia messed up during the final minutes of the second quarter in the Heat/Pacers game, showing about ten minutes of ads before cutting back for the final 1.6 seconds. Not exactly as disappointing as the blunder in the Mavs/Suns playoff game a couple of years ago but a good example of what I was talking about there. I have to admit though, I didn't watch much of the second half anyway.

by **Indy** on Sat Mar 24, 2007 12:32 pm

That's because we already had the game in hand. Danny Granger was pretty impressive tonight, eh Andrew?

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sat Mar 24, 2007 12:35 pm

Absolutely, he's probably one of the worst kept secrets in the league at the moment. I should think he's definitely part of Larry Bird's longterm plans.

Here's a tentative schedule for April (as well as the last two days of March), still subject to confirmation since all Fox Sports games are To Be Advised in the monthly guide. As usual I've gone through the schedule and matched up scheduled games with the times given in the magazine. Seeing as though I've got the time difference worked out again (Daylight Saving ending here and beginning the US threw me out in March), I reckon these are pretty accurate barring outdated info in the guide and last minute substitutions in the schedule.

Code: Select all: Date Time Channel Game Friday, Mar 30th 12:30 PM 502 Warriors vs Suns Saturday, Mar 31st 12:30 PM 508 Rockets vs Lakers Wednesday, April 4th 9:00 AM 502 Pacers vs Pistons Thursday, April 5th 9:30 AM 508 Bulls vs Pistons Friday, April 6th 9:00 AM 502 Heat vs Cavs Saturday, April 7th 10:00 AM 508 Cavs vs Wizards Wednesday, April 11th 9:00 AM 502 Phi/Ind, NJ/Was, Mia/Cha or Bos/Atl Thursday, April 12th 10:00 AM 508 Magic vs Pistons Friday, April 13th 12:30 PM 502 Clippers vs Lakers Saturday, April 14th 12:30 PM 508 Lakers vs Suns Wednesday, April 18th 12:00 PM 502 Clippers vs Suns Thursday, April 19th 10:00 AM 508 Nuggets vs Spurs Sunday, April 22nd 12:30 PM 508 TBA vs TBA, Round 1 Game 1 Saturday, April 28th 12:30 PM 508 TBA vs TBA, Round 1 Game 3 Sunday, April 29th 10:00 AM 508 TBA vs TBA, Round 1 Game 4

April 11th has four possibilities at the moment. I expect we'll be getting some Playoff games on Fox Sports but no listings have been made available yet.

by **Dan's Brain** on Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:08 am

Hopefully that's Boston/Atlanta, cos they might be able to squeeze out one Raptors playoff game, then we've had the whole league.

Also, it's been a while since we've seen the Spurs. Weird.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:00 pm

I wouldn't mind that, though I'm guessing the Nets/Wizards game will probably be shown since it's the most significant matchup out of the four. Hopefully ESPN will pull a few late season substitutions and pick up some games as they have the past couple of years.

by **Scotty** on Fri Mar 30, 2007 6:49 pm

I think every single Nuggets vs Spurs game has been televised this season with another one coming up, we lose every time though :cry:

by **Scotty** on Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:03 pm

Just noticed, next Thurday on ESPN is a double header, so after Bulls vs Pistons it's Nuggets vs Kings.
YES!

by **Matt** on Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:07 pm

sucks ass because i wont be able to watch the game live or replay. meh, at least i wont miss any playof games.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:09 pm

So it is. It's not often they show the entire doubleheader especially when it comes to NBA Wednesday but I'm sure we'll cope.

I'll cope just fine, it's holidays

Bring on the double header :lol:

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:12 pm

I'm a little discouraged that there aren't any listing for playoff games on Fox Sports. I really hope we're not stuck with coverage on ESPN throughout the postseason because as we've said once or twice already, Fox Sports' coverage has been far superior this season.

by **Scotty** on Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:23 pm

Yeah i hope we get both channels too, atleast if we get ESPN we'll get Spurs and that means Nuggets :lol:

I didn't have Foxtel this time last year, do they game you games from each round or just the first or what, do we get finals and everything (was Game 6 of Miami v Dallas on Last year?)

by **Matt** on Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:30 pm

last season they showed a mixture of games from the 1st & 2nd rnd. Then they showed EVERY Eastern Conference Game and every Finals game.

I'd rather see the West play this season so Fox better have games. Can't wait for the playoff schedule to be released.

by **Scotty** on Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:49 pm

Yeah id rather see all Western confrence games than Eastern, because the Eastern has 2-3 good teams and the rest are shit, where as the West is filled with good matchups (Y)

by **Matt** on Thu Apr 19, 2007 6:53 pm

as far as i can tell, it looks like we open with Utah@Houston this sunday.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:25 pm

Hopefully we'll get a nice blend of East and West if Fox Sports are covering the Playoffs. At least one game from each series would be nice, though I'm guessing we might miss out on one or two unless they have a few doubleheaders.
