They've been advertising the Friday and Saturday events for a while so I think we'll definitely get those. Looks like we'll actually get the All-Star game this year as well, though historically I've preferred TNT's broadcasts (and before that, NBC).

NBA on NBC is by far my favorite. (y)

......I still have that theme music in my head.

It's been on TNT for some time now , and I've been bombarded with All-Star commercials while watching Seinfeld on TBS so I'm pretty sure it will be on TNT. I also think all the events are on TNT , including the slam dunk competition and rookie-sophomore game. The games will be broadcast on ESPN Radio though.

As for NBA on NBC that was probably one of the best television presentations of basketball I have ever seen. When I got hooked on basketball in 2000 I remember the NBC broadcast and their catchy theme song. In fact , I have the NBA on NBC theme on my mp3 playlist :wink:

. NBA on ABC / ESPN isn't as good as the presentation done by NBC.

i saw a commercial for the ACTUAL game so i'd say we get it.

I like TNT the most of them all by far, so I'm ahppy they're still delivering it.

We don't get anything this year...again!

Lucky me, SPortsnet (aka Channel 22 in Toronto, Canada) will show the WHOLE weeked (except Celeb game)

by **Malfa** on Sat Feb 11, 2006 8:56 am

I'm pretty sure it's TNT. I love TNT.

It ain't just 22, it's 53 on cable buddy. I wish we got the celeb game.

On a different note, one of my friends is going to the game. He told me and I was just like :shock:

so do ESPN get any of it?

by **Malfa** on Sat Feb 11, 2006 9:20 am

celeb game is on espn at 7 eastern

by **Dean** on Sat Feb 11, 2006 10:57 am

tendodweeb, did you actually read Andrew's post?

We get the Rookie game, all-star saturday, and most likely the actual allstar game.

by **Matthew** on Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:17 pm

It says in the guide we get the asg.

And for the record, tnt in america boradcasts the game, here in australia it will be on tnt, probably just using the tnt broadcast though.

I say the cover should go to Greg Ostertag

I miss the NBA on NBC

Glad it's not just me who cant forget the music... i thought i was crazy for awhile.

I especially loved their coverage of the playoffs

by **Matthew** on Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:28 pm

What i miss is after every foul call, they would show an immediate replay, to see if it was legit or not. Thats somthing espn/abc never does.

i just like tnt because every sporting event they televise is in high def...espn only half...and the all star game will be very pretty to watch in high def 8-)

ESPN Australia will, since they do rebroadcast games on other networks. During the playoffs last year they had some TNT games as well as various FSN broadcasts.
