NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

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

does fox sports show any games?

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

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.

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.

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

I hardly watch it anymore. No reason to.

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

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

got the foxtel magazine yesterday

5 games in november (4 on saturday and 1 on thursday)
no milwaukee, which is weird...

no pistons

first game is cavs vs spurs, saturday 6th at 12pm...

sweetness

so is there gonna be 2 games on opening week or not?

Novembers Schedule on ESPN

5th - Cavs vs Spurs - 12pm
12th - Lakers vs Philly - 12pm
17th - Nicks vs Lakers - 2pm
19th - Magic vs Cavs (again... ) - 11am
26th - Mavs vs Heat - 12pm

5th-
12th- two relatively weak teams but there's iverson, kobe, odom, webber, iguadola so it might be a decent game
17th-
19th- i like LeBron
26th- always enjoy shaq making the Mavs his bitch

we should do some betting on these games all season.

To all of them...infinites to the game in the 12th

The on-screen guide and the Foxtel website still list the Bucks/Nets game for next Thursday.

We have Nets-Bucks on the 2nd
Cleveland - SA on the 4th
Miami- Indiana on the 9th
Lakers - Philly on the 11th
