ESPN is expanding its NBA telecast, adding the entire Western Conference Finals (best-of-7) plus the complete NBA Finals Series. All Live, All May. More announcements soon!


Do they not normally have all the Conference and Finals games?

They usually focus on mostly one conference, then if that wraps quick finish off the other.
Always get one conference finals and the NBA finals in full though, so dunno what they are on about.
Although i suppose that is ESPN Australasia and maybe some of it was TNT feed or something?

So i dunno if that is a good thing.

I think i read Maori TV is going to get some of the other conference to ESPN or something :shock:

I saw in March someone asked about the playoffs and ESPN replied that they get 5 games in the first 2 rounds, then all of the ECF and the NBA Finals, so maybe coupled with this new announcement they get both the WCF and ECF in full?

Yeh, im not too sure...
I read it as they are finally getting a whole western conference series instead of usually just having a x amount of games from the "7" (and ESPN Australasia just usually getting another feed to get all "7").
I just dunno if it is a good thing because of the commentary.

Mike Breens "OH-HO PRETTY PLAY" and "BANG!" get annoying
and while i love Hubie his "You've gotta give (insert team/player) a lot of credit" gets annoying also :P

Even though Marv Albert has similar things such as "YES!" its easier to deal with having not heard it as much all season :lol:

Tyson, we have different rights around the world. The NBA sells their rights in each region - last year in Aust/NZ, we only had Eastern Conference, this year we have both. So it is expanding.

correct, Richard, we have ECF & WCFs all live. No dates or times yet as they're obviously not set by the NBA just yet.


Stop complaining about the comms or theyll get the Aussie PTI guys to dub their own commentary over top :lol:

*Smashed the Spurs! Weird!

This Breakers game has been incredible, what a horrible attempted 3 by Bruton just then...selfish ball from him.

WTF

Rose is 1-11 and -23 :lol:. The lowest Bulls starter is -12. Their bench is beasting though. When Bosh has a good game the Heat have a good game.

Meh, a good coached team beats a team of 3 all stars and 9 jobbers again. Nothing surprising. Lebron isn't greedy enough to take the last shot

Still about 2 minutes from halftime and Camby has 18 rebounds :shock:

And he's still had the time for 10 points, 3 swats, 2 steals and 4 dimes as well, to make it even more impressive.

I wonder what the most rebounds in a game in the last 20 years is.

Answer: From the 90s onwards, Dennis Rodman (34). He got 30 or more rebounds 5 times in his career.
