NBA 2013/2014 Season!

Seems like there is till no TV deal in place with either ESPN/BT/SKY...could it be a last minute pick up for cheap from any of them?...Or do I have to resort to the league pass, which i'm not too keen on just due to potential lag and not HD etc, or is it?

The HD streaming on both PC and Xbox actually looks very good (more so on the xbox) but there was a stuttering problem last year where the stream would run in slow motion for a moment and then be followed up with double speed to catch the live stream! Often quite hilarious but mostly annoying. Was ironed out by seasons end.

Oddly that problem wasn't present on the PC version! :confused:

The league pass has a free trial right now so give it a try - it might surprise you. Only thing I would suggest is that if you watch it do NOT keep up with the game on Twitter as well as I spoiled the result of game 6 of the finals last year since the stream runs ~1 min behind the broadcast it feeds from!
 
From the little I saw the games were good but by god what a shower of **** with the NBA LP. Again.

Fire it up on the xbox so I get it on the big screen - all good and start watching the Magic/Pacers game. Looks like Pacers were running away with it so I switched to the Bulls/Heat game and was surprised to see the ring ceremony being shown!

(side note: Using the court as a projector screen = mind blowing!)

Towards the end of the 1st quarter it started buffering quite a lot. The 2nd quarter never showed on the xbox as it claimed the video service wasn't working! I jumped on the PC and everything is fine?!

By halftime I was shattered and crawled to bed phone in hand only to discover that on both 3 (mobile network) and my Wifi (which my PC was on!?) both resulted in a Geo Block message about being in a blackout area!??!

WHAT THE ACTUAL ****?!

Pretty unimpressed it has to be said :/
 
Haha the Sixers beat the Heat. Not entirely sure they want to with the whole rebuilding phase but it makes a good game :D

Hell of a debut for Micheal Carter-Williams too!

22 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 9 steals and shot 60%!!

Mental!
 
Another win for the Rockets last night - very sloppy first half but we managed to pull it back in the 2nd and put Utah away :D

Sixers are playing out of their minds - at this point I'd say screw the normal 'rebuilding' phase and just go for it! :D

The draft needs to be changed to stop this stupid tanking nonsense. I'd be in favour of some sort of system of rewarding the teams that just missed the playoffs getting a higher pick but which also excludes them from the following years draft perhaps to stop them consistently scoring top players?

Also while I'm tapping away at the keyboard who do you think will be the the:

Last team to lose their first game? Indiana, Philidelphia, Houston, Minnesota & Phoenix

Last team to win their first game? Boston, Washington, Denver & Utah are still in the running for this!

I'm gonna go with Indiana & Boston! :)
