looking at andrew, cos you know everything about PR

Yea, I think they will, I saw the advertisement on it during the finals games. I'm guessing they would since A-Bog is likely to be the #1 pick.

if anyone catches some info, could they please post it. thanks.

Yeah I caught the ad as well. They'll apparently be showing it live Wednesday June 29th, starting at 9 AM EST.

Another interesting note: ESPN International's TV Listings are now listing ESPN Australia as well as ESPN Pacific Rim as an international network.

OMG I have to see it... I wonder if there's any pubs that'll show it. Hello X?

by **The X** on Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:44 pm

hmm....what do we have here....I don't have ESPN....arghh....and there will be no pubs opened at 9am

I could probably get someone to tape it for me and watch it later that day....hmm....

by **J@3** on Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:46 pm

What happened to the days where pubs were open all day/night... there's a few sports bars around Adelaide, I might go and see if they're thinking about showing it.

by **The X** on Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:51 pm

most pubs don't open until like 10am from what I know....

I do know someone with ESPN PR and who would be on uni holidays, but he's the type of person that I wouldn't ask to come over at 9am in the morning, but could get him to set a tape or something....and picked it up around lunchtime and watch it in the afternoon....

by **Dean** on Sun Jun 19, 2005 8:21 pm

YES!!!!

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Wednesday 29th July
9-9:30am NBA Draft Preview
9:30am-2pm NBA Draft

Hey X.. u might wanna go to the sports pub out in the valley and see if their open... do u konw where it is?

by **The X** on Sun Jun 19, 2005 11:01 pm

nah....I'll check with other people I know, but I'll probably just get someone to tape it for me, listen to it on the net, and get a hold of it in the afternoon and watch it then....

by **J@3** on Mon Jun 20, 2005 2:08 am

Fuck it, I might just subscribe to Foxtel or whatever it is that carries ESPN. End of July, plenty of time to get it all sorted.

Edit: Actually end of June... hmm not so much time. Maybe I'll try and get cable internet instead, although I think I'll just end up refreshing the NBA.com java thing

by **Jona** on Mon Jun 20, 2005 3:27 am

Nope.

There is absolutely no way PR is going to show the Draft...

by **Drex** on Mon Jun 20, 2005 3:54 am

They show it...but like 1-2 weeks later :lol:

According to the online international listings and the commercials, it's going to be shown live June 29th starting 9 AM AEST - it's on both the ESPN Australia and ESPN Pacific Rim listings.

by **The X** on Mon Jun 20, 2005 8:19 pm

good news guys....my mate is on holidays from uni from next week and he's got ESPN, so I'll be making an early trek across to his place to watch the NBA Draft

hope you find somewhere to watch it Jae, or at the very least, get someone to tape it and watch it later....

Where there's a will, there's a way.

damn skool, wont be able to watch it.

ESPN:PR sucks. i know this is a little off topic but i timer-recorded game 5 of the finals and set the timer to record forty minutes after the scheduled finish time, which expired with 50 secs left in OT.

DAMN ESPN

That's not really a screw-up by ESPN; the game ran long because of the OT. Could have been worse, they could have not shown all but the final minute of OT, instead showing PTI: Australia as they did for Game 6 of the Suns/Mavs series. I actually emailed them to express my disgust after they did that.

as did i. damn i was furious.

They did send me an apology, which was something. But it's an error that really shouldn't have been made considering PTI Australia wasn't even scheduled.
