Rumour has it that the Unnamed one contacted Fox and requested as many Miami games as possible, so that Adelaide's games would look good in comparison ...

Ha....nice one. More than half way through the second quarter and Miami only have 25 points. Now Haslem is injured...oh lord this is going to be tedious im considering turning it off

I couldn't agree more, let's see a mix of teams, not the same ones over and over.

exactly Mantis , especially considering Miami are flat out the worst team in the league to watch this year and they are on every 2nd or 3rd game .

To rub salt into my wounds I have KG, Ray Allen and Wade on my fantasy team ... brilliant!

Do the TV stations in America broadcast locally to each city? if so it's possible that Fox for whatever reason takes their feed from whoever's covering Miami...which sucks, since they are complete ass this season.

So far we've had Miami vs Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Orlando and maybe more.

In any case, I was half looking forward to watching this game when I get home from work tonight, but at this stage I don't think I'll bother.

Hard to believe how badly they've fallen.
Mark Blount leading the Heat with 20 points, followed by Luke Jackon with 11.. LOL

James W, games do get broadcast locally over there. But Foxtel pick up TNT and ESPN (of course) games most of the time, and the Heat are on national TV pretty much every week (as these schedules are done well before the season has started and for some reason never get changed). Basically, as long as the Heat have Shaq and Wade, I'd say we'll be stuck with them.

Although I do remember seeing lots of the Pacers last season, on their local broadcaster. And the Pacers didn't even really have anyone of interest, they just flat out sucked.....

The Foxtel coverage of NBA games this season has been very poor and inconsistent. Too much of the same teams. Too much Heats or Spurs especially.

I know these schedules are planned in advance, but the networks need to keep an open mind especially when injuries happen. When an injury happens nobody wants to watch that team or the team is boring. Heat have proved it this year without Shaq, Zo or Wade.

Turn the television off people.

I'm also having difficulty downloading a variety of teams and games through the torrent sites or I'm not visiting enough.

Raptors and Kings seem to be the ones I encounter most.

Can anyone reccomend a good torrent site to visit?

I'd love to watch more Nuggets & Knicks games. I'm a big fan of Carmelo.

All Wednesday games that are shown on Fox Sports are a direct stream from NBA TV. Fox doesn't choose which games they will show on Wednesdays and on Fridays they chose between one of the TNT double headers.

ESPN usually shows the games they are airing in the US but occasionally they will show other games with a ESPN voice over.

The site is pretty good. But you can't download. i want to download games and burn onto dvd blanks.

"as these schedules are done well before the season has started and for some reason never get changed"

Actually, that's not quite true, they had a heap of Portland games on the schedule until Oden fell off his couch, then they got changed before the season started (in retrospect, considering how well the Blazers have been playing, a blunder). Other games do get changed during the season, but it's not often.

I want to see J-Kidd and the Nets and CP3 and the Hornets so I can watch the torch being passed, I want to see if Durant was worth the second pick, I want to see Howard dunk in traffic. I want to see someone other than the Spurs and Heat all the time - I don't even bother watching these games. Gimme Atlanta-New York, and I'm there. And I'm not even a fan of any of the teams I've named.

The NBA - where switching off happens.

Man that site is like heaven on earth.
