NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

[Andrew]

Good find.

[koberulz]

For some reason, One HD is showing an NFL game, the same one in fact that is airing on ESPN Australia. So much for the live Bucks/Bulls game that was advertised and is definitely supposed to be on according to the on-screen listings and One HD website.

The NFL game was originally scheduled for Monday our time, on ONE and ESPN, and got delayed due to bad weather. No idea why neither channel changed their TV guide to reflect that, though.

[Andrew]

Score one for Aussie NFL fans, I guess.

[koberulz]

Well, it'd be nicer if they'd changed the TV guide so those that weren't initially planning on watching either the college game on ESPN or the NBA game on ONE would know to tune in...

But yeah, I wanted to watch the NFL game anyway, and didn't much care for the Bulls-Bucks game, so I can't say I'm all that upset. And it being the penultimate week of the season for the NFL and a game with playoff implications compared to an early-season matchup between two teams that'll probably end up in the middle of the pack in the East, at best, both missing major players to injury, I can certainly understand why they chose the NFL game over the NBA game.

Been a while since a Thunder game was on TV. Should be good game against Dallas.

Should be a blowout if you as me

Friday: Denver @ Sacramento

Delayed, for no apparent reason.

[Andrew]

Oh well, if you're going to delay one of the games tomorrow, that's probably the one to pick. At least One HD shows doubleheaders more often than not.

Nah

[koberulz]

We get three games on ESPN Tuesday, all delayed.

[Andrew]

The Bulls/Grizzlies game is also apparently live at 5:00 AM on Monday morning. Might tape it and watch it before the Tuesday replay, if I can't get up early enough.

Tuesday morning

I hope to be up at 5AM Sunday and 2AM Monday for the NFL Playoffs, so I'll probably catch that one live too.

[Andrew]

Quite right, Tuesday morning.

[Dan's Brain]

holy crap! the raptors are on tv today!!!!!!!!!

[Andrew]

I was going to ask how that came to be but they're facing the Bucks, so there's the Bogut factor.

[Phil89]

Good double-header today on ONE HD.

Chicago vs San Antonio at 12pm, followed by Phoenix vs Dallas at 2:45pm.

[Fresh8]

All-Star weekend if only on Foxtel this weekend?

Turned out pretty well, great games in my opinion. I'm not too unhappy with the results either.

Seems that way.

[Andrew]

ESPN HD is showing All-Star Friday live but ESPN SD has opted for a delayed airing. Fortunately, the rest of the weekend will be shown live.

[sucram]

Any idea what time we will get it on ESPN:SD 'Drew?

Shame, really. They'll probably chip off an hour of random interviews and shit (my favourite part)

[Andrew]

Rookie Challenge is at 4 PM, Celebrity Game is on at 8 PM.

[Andrew]

Coming up this week (all times AEDST):

Monday: All-Star Game (12:00 PM, ESPN)
Wednesday: Clippers vs Thunder (12:00 PM, One)
Thursday: Clippers vs Hornets (1:30 PM, ESPN)
Friday: Heat vs Bulls & Celtics vs Nuggets (12:00 PM/2:30 PM, One)
Saturday: Thunder vs Magic (12:00 PM, ESPN)

Not bad. Bulls/Heat obviously stands out for me, but I'm also looking forward to Thunder/Magic and the Clippers games offer a chance at seeing a few big dunks from Griffin. Depending on what happens with Carmelo Anthony, the Celtics/Nuggets game could be very interesting or very anti-climactic.

[Dan's Brain]

Noah should be back against Miami.......

[Phil89]

Why are the Clippers commentators on this broadcast if it's a Thunder home game? Ugh.

Every second word seems to be Blake Griffin.
