The NBA Thread

I don't support anyone, feels weird saying you support someone who's in a different country.

But you're quite happy to hate someone in a different country?

Still sticking with the Raptors, although the loss of Bosh means they'll start from scratch (once more).

[Ozwin]

Oh yeah and I follow the Rockets, but I don't consider myself a supporter per se because, well, I'm not.

Anyone watching the Lakers?

This Barcelona team have the same badge and kit colours as the football

It's the same thing...

Clubs in Europe are all like that. Teams like Fenerbahce and Panathanaikos are just the football part of a big thing. Europeans take their basketball very seriously too, it's crazy.

Kobe predicts scores

Longar Salvatory Longar.

That's all I'm saying.

Hill and Evans ejected for patting each other on the arse.

This new technical thing is a joke Edited 21 October 2010 by Ozwin

It is a joke, there's gonna be so many called early on in the season it'll be ridiculous. Did you see the Kyle Korver one?

Tomorrow

Off work Wednesday too, so hopefully I can find a good stream and settle down with nice NBA action Bulls/Thunder on ESPN Wednesday night aswell, great looking game. Then Friday night it's Heat vs Magic, jesus christ!

So glad it's almost back

I can't wait, I've missed having something to watch at stupid o'clock.

Thinking of spending £90 on that League Pass Broadband thing, saves me having to find crappy streams and you're guaranteed good quality.

If you do, let me know if it's any good. I've long though about it but just never took the plunge. Tbh don't know if i'd have time to make the most out of it, or whether my computer is even good enough for it.

Does the league start today? Nothing on ESPN and I had it pencilled down for Tuesday for some reason.

Fair enough, crappy stream here I come. I wanted to watch loads of build up and stuff though, most streams start when the game starts which is a bit of a bummer.

Quite a cool little advert this:

Yup they are i think i will subscribe with this quality, matches the NFL ones. Enjoying the free preview. Shame we only get the ESPN games from the US in the regular season, TNT's coverage is superb.

With League Pass we'll get TNT's coverage though right? I know we don't get ones that are on TV but seeing as I have ESPN that won't be a problem anyway.

Yes we do, and same I have ESPN as well, On my nights off I will be watching alot of NBA with this, looking forward to it.

[lildave3]
