NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

[Andrew]

Another fine one to watch all the way through. I've got that one on DVD (or possibly tape, can't remember which) too, so I don't feel too left out yet.

[Scotty]

I do
A mate at school who hardly likes basketball was like there was an old school basketball game on One last night. Dammit. Even though i havent really got time for much TV these days i could record them and watch like 10mins each morning at breakfast...

Agreed. My brother said he watched it last night. Said Bill Cartwright was more solid than he expected & Horace Grant was young & fresh.

But like Andrew, I think I got that one on DVD so I should be sweet.

Mark Price never disappoints. Fuck you Shane Heal.

Just a preview of next Wednesday's Classic Game on OneHD: Utah vs Houston. 1997 Western Conference Finals. Game 5.

Hakeem, Barkley, Drexler vs Malone, Stockton, Adam Keefe.

Was hoping for another 1980s trip. Possibly some showtime Lakers vs the Celtics or Bad Boys. But this will also do the trick.

Second. Heal gave a whole new meaning to his nickname of "The Hammer" with the way that one went down, as he certainly proved himself to be a tremendous tool.

[Laxation]

there can only be one 'the hammer'

[J@3]

No Bucks games?

[Drex]

3 Sixers games. Two at home against the Cavs and Lakers, adn the other one in Boston. Great

[Laxation]

At first I was annoyed because I thought they had remained wankers and not changed their policy of playing the same teams over and over and over again.
Then I looked at the schedule, and it looks great! Looks like theres all the teams there...
Love the amount of games... looks like 4 or 5 a week! And a double header *drools*

Bucks play a couple games, one early november

edit* fuck this schedule, the one pistons game and im on the plane home from thailand...

[Fresh8]

Can't wait for next week's games on One HD.

I hope the ring ceremony is part of the broadcast for Lakers v Clippers.

[Andrew]

That's a much better resource than ESPN's International listings that get updated every month or so, thanks for the heads up.

Now they just need to hurry up and get One SD to Southern Cross Ten markets, rebroadcast it via Foxtel for satellite subscribers (cable subscribers already have it, of course) or I somehow need to win a new TV. I'm fine with any of those scenarios.

[Laxation]

How come you dont get it andrew? Dont you have a hd tuner?

[Andrew]

That's right. I've got the digital set top box but can't make use of any of the HD channels.

[Laxation]

Cant you just get a hd set top box for $50 or something?

[The X]

Cant you just get a hd set top box for $50 or something?

Yep, that's what I did. I think I paid about $100 for an HD set top box brand new about a year ago, but they should be cheaper now.

[Andrew]

I'll have to take another look at the one that I have, otherwise that's a fourth option.

Of course, a new TV would be nice regardless, so I think I'll have to enter any such contests that come my way.

[Laxation]

Bill Simmons will be co-announcing in the opener, bulls - celtics.

[J@3]

That game has now been upgraded to officially unwatchable.

[Drex]

Time to bring back this:

- Take a drink anytime he mentions Jimmy Kimmel or his show. Take a bonus drink if you know whether or not said show is still on TV.

- Take a drink anytime he mentions his father falling asleep.

- Take a drink anytime he takes a jab at Vince Carter and — Never mind, Carter is a carpet bagging piece of crap.

- Take a drink anytime he sounds disconsolate when someone covers a spread.

- Take a drink anytime he “jokes” about his gambling problem.

- Take a drink anytime he uses a nickname instead of the real name of one of his friends. (i.e. Sully, J-Bug, J-Sully, Cellar Bug, etc.)

- Take a drink anytime he mentions an 80s movie that you’ve never seen. Bonus drink if Lori Loughlin is in it.

- Take a drink of sake anytime he makes reference to “The Karate Kid.”

- Take a drink anytime he gets a call on his cell from one of his friends at an inopportune time. Bonus drink if it’s a fantasy league trade offer. (Be warned, for 30-somethings these dudes spend more time on their phones that the girls from ‘Sweet Valley High.’)

- Take a drink anytime he sounds like he wants to beat Roger Clemens with a sack of oranges.

- Take a drink anytime it sounds like Sports Gal wants to beat him with a sack of oranges.

- Take a drink anytime he pokes fun at the WNBA. Bonus drink if you completely agree with what he’s saying, but are smart enough not to verbalize it.

- Take a drink if you’ve always wondered if Sports Gal is cute because you figure she’s going to leave him for making WNBA jokes with J-Bug on his cell phone during a get together with her family.

- Take a drink anytime he mentions Mischa Barton. Take two if he mentions Rachel Bilson. Come on!

- Take a drink anytime he mentions one of his ideas for a new TV show. 5 bonus drinks if it is a “White Shadow” remake featuring Darko Milicic using his Euro charm on a rascally group of misunderstood inner city youth.

- Take HALF a drink anytime he mentions: a Maloof brother, “The Real World,” Adam Corolla, Boof, a corollary, a pantheon, a [insert name here] face, his editor, a bloody sock, Tom Brady’s handsome mug, or the movie ‘Hoosiers.’

*Do not try this game if any of the Boston-based sports franchises are in contention for a title. Unless you are curious where your “Ow! My liver” face falls in the pantheon of sports fan suffering.

Any more ideas?

[Andrew]

Something about his claim to be one of the last nineteen basketball fans, perhaps.

[Laxation]

I love Simmons, which makes that drinking game even more fun. (no idea who j-bug is)

- Drink every time he talks about KGs knees
- Every time he talks about how Sheed is going to make everyone hate Celtics
- Whinging about the refs
- "I wrote about *this* in my new book" (hes on a book tour, so this will get you drunk)

[The X]

Sucks I'll miss the double header as flying to New Zealand on Wednesday.

[Scotty]

Woo Got to see 2 great Nuggets wins so far. Hope some of you boys got to see Melo take over against Portland in the 4th yesterday
