NBA on Foxtel/Aussie TV 2013/2014

[Andrew]

Fair enough. Like I said I'd probably be complaining too but at the moment, I'd just like to have the opportunity to be disappointed by One's coverage.

[Scotty]

lol, yeah i know what you mean... You have the right to be more pissed than me, seeing as you cant even access the channel ...
I was just pissed that i missed the 3OT's in that epic Boston v Chicago game...

[Scotty]

Alright here's what we got till next Monday, for Foxtel and One HD:
*ESPN HD* Tuesday May 5th - LA vs Houston - Game Scheduled for 12:30pm (EST= 10:30pm)

*One HD* Friday May 8th - Game 2 - Game Scheduled for 12:00am (EST= 10:00pm)
Only game that day is Cavs v Hawks, but they're playing at 10:00 am (EST 8:00pm), but the guide hasnt got the game scheduled then, so im guessing that'll change to the 10am slot...

*ESPN HD* Saturday May 9th - Game 3 - Game Scheduled for 12:30pm (EST= 10:30pm)
ORL v BOS and LA v HOU on this day, neither at the right timeslot. My bet is Orlando v Boston, because they're showing LA v HOU game 1 tuesday. I would prefer LA v HOU again though...
-ORL v BOS is on at 9:00am (7:00pm EST)
-LA v HOU is on at 11:30am (9:30pm EST)

*ESPN HD* Sunday May 10th - Game 3 - Game Scheduled for 10:15am (EST= 8:15pm)
CLE v ATL and DEN v DAL are playing on this day and judging by the timeslot i'd say it's very likely it's be Cleveland v Atlanta.
-CLE v ATL is on at 10:00am (8:00pm EST)
-DEN V DAL is on at 7:00am (5:00pm EST)


*ONE HD* Monday May 11th - Game 3 - Game Scheduled for 9:30am (EST= 7:30pm)
ORL v BOS and LA v HOU on this day, neither at the right timeslot. But Orlando is much closer, so that's my bet.
-ORL v BOS is on at 10:00am (8:00pm EST)
-LA v HOU is on at 5:30am (3:30pm EST)

[Andrew]

ESPN SD is exactly the same from the looks of it. Three games in a week isn't too shabby, far superior to their efforts the last couple of years.

[Scotty]

Just thought i'd update incase you guys didnt notice that the Saturday game will infact be LA v Houston Game 3 & Sunday game is Cavs v Hawks as expected...

[Andrew]

Hopefully LeBron does something extraordinary in the game on Sunday, else that could be another boring one by halftime.

[AMenace]

Thanks for the updates guys, I got foxtel last week and was unsure what games would be on and at what time.

[Andrew]

It always pays to check out the online listings in advance. I don't bother with the magazine these days, when the listings for Fox Sports all became TBA every month and then they stopped showing NBA games altogether, it wasn't worth that extra little bit on the bill each month.

[Scotty]

Damn i was hoping Denver v Dallas game 5 would be on tomorrow, just like i've been hoping all their games would be on. Atleast if we win i'll see all the Nuggets WCF games...

[Andrew]

Looks like you get your wish. See, it was worth the one game in the regular season and being screwed around by One.

[Scotty]

Yeah man im happy, a min of 4 games and a max of 7, and ill be able to watch em straight away, instead of waiting till the next morning, downloading them, then watching them after school...

Lets go Nuggets!

[Andrew]

Not to mention avoiding all news and results sites and message boards to prevent the outcome being spoiled.

[Scotty]

^Yeah i cant on on the internet or anything, it sucks.

Also wtf cant see any games for tomorrow or Monday... No game 7's?

[Andrew]

That was a bit of a letdown but as I've said before I reckon that overall the coverage has been pretty decent this year, better than the last couple of years. If only we were getting both Conference Finals series.

[Scotty]

Well we are in a way... One HD has the ECF and ESPN has the WCF... But yeah i know you aint got One yet...

Anyway it was great to finally see the Nuggets on TV... Too bad we lost, but a good game and good performance by Melo...

[Andrew]

It's ridiculous how far Southern Cross Ten is behind compared to the other Ten markets. Oh well, complaining here isn't going to speed it up. Feels good to let off steam at any rate.

[Scotty]

Well i just hope you didnt miss the spectacular Nuggets win today and if you did, get a chance to watch it tonight...

[Andrew]

Oh I didn't miss it. One way or another I make sure I catch the games on Foxtel.

[Scotty]

I dont know if i've mentioned it, but now for the third time since the semi's Channel 10 has recked the result of an Orlando game. The first was the one with the big baby GW vs Boston, the second was game 1 and the third was today's with the LeBron GW. Im not even watching bloody Sports Tonight, it's on the other TV or something and i walk past and i hear it. All 3 times i let off a loud f bomb.

But yeah sucked cause i was up to the start of the 4th when they wrecked the result... And it was a real buzz kill knowing that no matter what the Cavs were going to win. Wont be happening with the Nuggets game tomorrow though, will be watching it Live all the way through

[Andrew]

That sucks, sorry to hear it. Same thing's happened to me with ESPNews Post Game.

[Scotty]

Bumpage. So we're down to the Finals... Right in the middle of my exams. Awesome

[Andrew]

If it's any consolation, I'll probably miss Game 2 coming back from Canberra on Monday.

...alright, you've got it worse. Good luck in your exams!

That always happen....it infuriates me....but my new tactic is I always have my tv remote with me when watching games & change the channels during ad breaks....can't for the life of me believe how stupid One HD is about this

I'm missing the draft while I'm hanging out at LAX airport waiting for my flight home. I am attempting to drop that into as many posts as possible.

It does suck though. The draft is, maybe surprisingly, my favourite sporting event of the year.

not surprising at all, it's one of my favourites too....I take day off work & make a day of it every year
