I'm not a fan of watching pre-recorded games. I lost interest in Bucks-Lakers in the fourth quarter after Shannon Brown went on a streak and the bench helped the Lakers get in front. I usually don't like non-live games because there's a sense of excitement missing. I prefer to see it live. :P That's why I don't use DVR to record it.

Anyways, at least I got to catch the game.

ONE's schedule tomorrow: Suns-Magic, Nuggets-Blazers, Breakers-Hawks, Tigers-Wildcats. An entire day of basketball on free-to-air Australian television. That sentence still doesn't sound right.

Awesome, might check that out. Hopefully they play Sean Marks.

EDIT: Changed my mind, will be too tired.

I genuinely forgot that the NBL still existed.

How long has the season been running for?

The NBL is shit.

That show Overtime - the guys don't know jack about the NBA yet try and give an analysis about it. They firstly said that Rajon Rondo did not make the final cut. Correction: He quit. And then they said that Team USA could have used a player like him. Correction: If they did, he would have been there. They called Ray Allen the perfect 2-guard in the NBA. No need to respond to this, I'm just putting it out there. If you're going to have NBA coverage and have a weekly recap, don't dedicate 15/60 minutes to the NBA and get guys who don't know what they're talking about to make comment.

Anyways, no Lakers game so won't be watching tomorrow. :wink:

Since mid-October.

What I don't get is why they need to cover the NBA at all. They already air MVP and Real NBA, at the very least.

Is MVP good? Haven't caught that on TV.

Yeah, on Overtime, it seems like they pick one topic and talk bout it for 15 minutes. Make it seem like only 1 game is played per week in the NBA. :oops: But this is an observation from only watching it once. Maybe it's better than I think it is. Who knows!

MVP is junk. They just pick out random excerpts from the various US sporting shows, i.e. Real NBA, This Week In Baseball, those NFL Films productions. Little relevance to what's currently going on either.

Overtime is seriously a waste of time for NBA stuff.

Even for NBL stuff, it's not that good. Ah well. My care factor for the NBL is very low. If we still had a team here, maybe I would take an interest in it.

Fair call, I know what you mean about the thought of it already being decided hanging over the game when you're watching it on tape.

I'd say it was between Nuggets/Blazers or Thunder/Celtics this week as far as the game of the week is concerned. I didn't bother watching the fourth quarter of Suns/Magic though there were some entertaining moments through the first three quarters, a couple of nice alley-oops and the like.

Interesting to see Knicks vs Nets on ONE HD today. Makes a change from Lakers/Magic/Celtics games.

Not too bad a game, either.

Lakers @ Rockets tomorrow, Heat @ Cavs and Suns @ Warriors Friday, then Bulls @ Celtics on Saturday.

Both delayed, because golf is so much more interesting.

On the other hand, both games of ESPN's double header (Y)

They are? Wasn't aware of that, the international listings over on NBA.com still have the live times.

They're listed as 5.30 and 10.00 Eastern time, separated by the Friday night NBL game, due to the Australian PGA. Much like last week's relegating of the Suns-Warriors game for a delayed NFL broadcast.

Yeah the local TV guide shows those times, this online listing still shows the live times for me which is why I wasn't aware of it. In any case thanks for the heads up, I'm going out Friday night so I won't catch them but tomorrow's game and the Saturday doubleheader should suffice. (Y)

Denver commentators annoyingly biased. :facepalm2:

Decent game, but those guys constantly complaining about every call that doesn't go Denver's way is making it almost unwatchable.

Yeah, local commentators can really get annoying at times. However, the Heat's team from SUN Sports are probably one of the best in the league when it comes to calling it fair; they're enthusiastic about the Heat but don't get too homerish about whistles, nor shy away from talking positively about an opponent.

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.

Disappointing that they didn't show it live. (especially when it was listed :? )

Watching the last few minutes now on ONE HD.

I ended up taping the replay, I'll re-record it to DVD at some point and probably watch it all the way through then.

Free NBA league pass until 1st of January for fellow Aussies and Europeans (International league pass). Just checkout the 0.99USD Holiday pass and enter 'NBAHOLIDAY' in the 'Promotion Code' box. Works for 24 hours but you can re-enter it once it expires.
