NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

by **Matt** on Mon Oct 17, 2005 9:19 pm

cool.

I'm 90% sure i'll be getting Foxtel. Beats going to the Casino to watch a game (although having a beer aint so bad).

Too bad Australia has some of the worlds highest cable TV prices.

I looked at the ESPN (US) schedule, and they have some odd games. Only a few are mouth watering encounters. Still, i hope we get that scheduled Detroit vs NYK game.

are there any Chicago or Phoenix games scheduled in the first 2 months?

i bloody hope so..

oh yeah, it better not be bucks bucks bucks all season..

U guys may get lucky this year since ABC is now ESPN's parent company. So maybe they will show the finals (ABC BROADCAST) on your pacific rim ESPN station.

It sucks you do not get ESPN or ESPN Classic year round... They had a dunk comp marathon last month. I TIVO'd all the good years.

yay... one pistons game... and its in december 4th... woo fucking hoo :evil:

does fox sports show any games?

by **Matt** on Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:39 pm

they used to but not anymore.

I don't think we'll get plenty of Bucks games, since its for the Pacific region so that includes other countries.

We get at least one though, the opener. Thought I might have seen a couple of others in there too, most likely thanks to Bogut.

Yeah, we generally get the ABC broadcast of the NBA Finals (as opposed to the "ESPN International" commentary team dubbed over the ABC crew) so I'd say it will be the same this year. ESPN Australia also rebroadcasts some FSN and TNT games, especially during the playoffs (and often in their bonus coverage).

I love the old TNT stuff with Hubie Brown. FSN also shows some good games. Looks like it's hsaping up to be a good year.

Good thing Bucks won't suck totally this year.

So we get Bucks v whoever instead of Spurs v Cavs (N)

No, we still get Spurs vs Cavs, but we'll get to see the Bucks/Nets game before that. Hard as it is to believe, we actually got a change for the better.

by **Matt** on Mon Oct 24, 2005 11:38 pm

Okies....that's good. 2 is better than 1, but if anything i'd prefer the Cavs Spurs game.

Does anyone else here prefer the old TNT coverage that we got from TNT on Fox Sports. ESPN's advantage is they show highlights from other games and they have a halftime show. TNT though was more entertaining and the matches they showed were always more exciting than ESPN's.

I prefer TNT's team, no question. The random selection of broadcasts we used to get on FTA back in the day was even better in that regard.

OMG a double header. We havent had one of those for bloody ages.

by **Matt** on Tue Oct 25, 2005 10:57 am

FTA, havent heard that in a long time either, haha.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Tue Oct 25, 2005 11:46 pm

I hardly watch it anymore. No reason to.

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Wed Oct 26, 2005 7:56 am

So we get a double header on the 5th of November ?

by **Matt** on Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:28 pm

i think it's 2 seperate days, not a dbl header.

by **Laxation** on Wed Oct 26, 2005 6:33 pm
