Looking forward to that one. As usual I won't get to see it live now that I work Thursdays.

by **Matt** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 3:21 pm

and saturday has Miami vs Philly!!! that one should be good

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:45 pm

See? It's not all bad.

Except I'll only get to see the second half of that since I work until 1 PM on Saturdays.

i wonder why ESPN Pacific has so many NFL games. surely NBA is more popular.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:00 pm

I wondered that last season too. Probably the same reason they shell out money for the Scrabble championships.

by **Matt** on Thu Dec 15, 2005 3:40 am

haha, too much crap on ESPN....chearleading championships? poker? fishing? i don't see any sport there.

But at least they have Champions League.

"American Tractor Pulling" is another. I can't imagine it has a huge following in Australia. To be fair there's restrictions in place and some of these things aren't in the same timeslot as live NBA games, but they could be spending their money on something better...such as the vintage NBA programs they were showing last year before the season, if there's no way of showing games after the fact in addition to the live matchups on the schedule.

Yes exactly, unlike gridiron we actually PLAY basketball in this country and have a national league, and compete internationally in the olympics.

Grrr

Ok heres the schedule for February

Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers at Wachovia Center Philadelphia, PA USA

Orlando Magic vs. Milwaukee Bucks at Bradley Center Milwaukee

San Antonio Spurs vs. New Jersey Nets at Continental Airlines Arena East Rutherford

San Antonio Spurs vs. Philadelphia 76ers at Wachovia Center Philadelphia, PA USA*

*NBA Wednesday, since it doesnt feature Bucks it proabably wont be shown*

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee Bucks at Bradley Center Milwaukee

and of course the All-Star stuff in between. At least no more Cleveland or Miami games (Y)

Unfortunately every team has been shown already (not that i find watching Detroit or Philly play)

by **Drex** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 6:32 am

3 Sixers games (Y)

Not a bad schedule, though given Wade's one of my active favourites outside the Bulls I would have liked to have seen a Heat game or two this month. Still, a couple of Bogut games and one against the Magic no less (Hill). With my subscription to PonTel for the Bulls games, definitely better than nothing.

by **Matt** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 7:12 pm

i think Jan. still holds a Spurs v Heat game for us though. And of course a rematch of Cleveland vs Indiana.

I swear, i don't wanna see another Cleveland home game again. Or Bucks for that matter.

I wish they did the schedule month by month. ESPN just tries to go for the big match ups instead of going for even teams. Most games are easy to pick the winners.

No more pistons games till playoffs, unless they add a game vs bucks.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 7:52 pm

Agreed, though sometimes they substitute as they drop and pick up games.

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 8:08 pm

The all star coverage definetley being shown this year ?

Last year they didn't

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 8:18 pm

It would seem so. They're not showing the All-Star Game though, just the Rookie/Sophomore game and the All-Star Saturday events.

by **Matt** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 8:23 pm

Chris Paul will win the Rookie game challenge....

isnt there pistons/philly? im postive i saw that...

by **Matt** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 11:24 pm

yeah, but after that game theres no more.

by **Matt** on Thu Jan 12, 2006 7:34 pm

Ray Allen ejected for fighting, just as we have a Seattle game. Damn you ESPN

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Jan 13, 2006 9:58 am

On the bright side, because it begins at 2:30 I'll get to see it since I finish work at 1 and usually only catch the second half live.

by **Matt** on Fri Jan 13, 2006 2:11 pm

and how does that help me?

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Jan 13, 2006 2:19 pm

Well, it doesn't really. But it sure helps me.

by **CMJ3** on Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:37 pm

Any Denver games at all?? i havent seen any :cry:

why cant foxtel get an NBA channel.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sat Jan 14, 2006 9:07 am

The day they do, I'm subscribing. Unless it's $500 a month, in that case I'd have to go without on my current budget.

Once again this is the best place to look for the ESPN Australia schedule, but I've checked for you and there's one scheduled for March 23rd (vs San Antonio).
