The Basketball Discussion

[Viniero09]

But Orlando have been playin really well and they have good perimeter shooters and howard is having a field day in the paint... it would be nice if orlando wins the playoffs so howard would follow in Shaqs steps and become one of the most feared centers in the game.... The new superman taking over from the old one....

[01srainey]

Lets go lakers, lets go

Finals here we come

[Viniero09]

laker thrashed denver... so one half of my prediction is right and it now up to orlando to show some magic and win at home...

[01srainey]

So, its finalised

LA Lakers v Orlando Magic for NBA Championship

[Viniero09]

So who is it going to be....

[Tobi]

Blow out win last night for the Lakers, I'm expecting a better display from Orlando in Game 2.

Nice to see Jameer Nelson back too.

[Viniero09]

any one saw the nba draft and what do u make of it...

Only seen the results, clippers have received a beast

Timberwolves got a good draw, but i heard ricky rubio might withdraw from it and stay in spain

[Tobi]

Yep, he's decided to stay in Spain for the next two years.

When he returns the Knicks will be waiting.

This deserves a kick up the arse.

OK, we're into the conference Finals.

Last night the Celtic suprisingly defeated the Magic away in the East Coast Final, tonight it is Suns at the Lakers in the West Coast Final.

Should be exciting stuff.

What do you watch this on?

ESPN man. Im uncertain if the game will be on tonight though, haven't checked yet. But they always have a 30 minute highlight show the next day.

It will be a late one anyway, saying that its in LA, and they're like 7/8 hours behind us.

Ill have a look for it and record it, i dont mind watching some Basketball, the more i watch it the more i seem like it.

Unlike Baseball, tried to watch that the other day, man, i thought cricket was boring.

Anyway, will try to get into it until the WC.

Yeah, I find basketball to be the only "watchable" north american sport. Baseball is too slow, American Football lasts for days, and you can barely see the puck in Ice Hockey. But I still think Cricket is the worst.

You could try online sources such as Justin.tv, but as I said, it probably will be too late to watch live. Best thing is to record it.

Indeed, Americans do have some dreadful sports, no excitement at all. Basketball certainly stands out above the rest.

I will record it, but i do stay up really late so i mightn't have to.

If thats the case, do watch it then, because you can watch the pre-match stuff, and get a feel for whats going, and perhaps form a relationship with a team.

Hopefully, because at the moment i havent a clue, dont know the rules, teams, players etc...

[01srainey]

It may take a little while to get the rules, however Im sure after a full game you'd understand the majority of the rules so that should be no problem. If youre starting to get into it, I'd recommend renting (or even buying) NBA 2k10, its fucking unbelievable, and that way you'd learn players, teams etc.

Well yeah, when i get into it more, because i played it and had zero interest, but yeah, like you said, when i start to really get into it then i might enjoy it more.

[01srainey]

There doesnt seem to be a match on tv tonight, however they have highlights "NBA Fastrack" tomorrow at 9:00 am and 5:30pm, and the second fixture in the Magic/Celtics game is live at 1:30am Wednesday
