Then I'm pretty sure the next day Dunk Contest/3pt shootout should be on

My bad. Rising stars is on TNT. All-Star Saturday Night is too. I don't know how those work out for you, but I hope you'll get them.

We get the games on ESPN Australia (which is only on cable tv), but due to time difference on our East coast, the game Sunday night festivities will be on at about noon Monday for us.

I actually took the day off work to watch it, but that all got changed up on me and I'm travelling instead

Arne Duncan is killing it in the Celeb game. Arnesanity! Harvard strikes again.

It sucks that your plans got screwed up.

I really have to give up it to you guys for the time difference. Det too. You guys are really dedicated.

Blake Griffin with a bigger ovation than Jeremy Lin.

This should be fun.

It looks like a pickup game, I want this to get competitive. They're playing like they all have plans when it's all over, just want to get it done. :-?

Not sure where in Australia Mike3 is from, but the time difference for me isn't too bad. A normal Clippers home game tips off for me at ~2:30pm for me. If I'm not travelling for work, I usually get home in time to check the play by play on the final quarter.

Come playoff time, it sucks because of day light savings. The 7:30PST games in from April onwards tip off at just after noon.

Really gotta give it up to Det though, he's watching games in the middle of the night.

LOL Shaq won't be getting any calls for a GM position anytime soon.

Do you just check the play by play or do you get to watch the streams?

This was a bit of a letdown, Kyrie Irving was lights out though.

Blake had some nice dunks tonight. I'm glad Blake didn't have to play too much. I'd say the game was entertaining enough to me and was pretty much what I expected.

Previously, I didnt have internet at home as we just bought a new place and there were some real issues with the ISP's setting up our connection for ADSL, so it was just a combination of Yahoo play by play and reading our game threads on my mobile phone. Now that I've finally got a semi reliable connection/speed on the house, I'll start getting into streams and may even get on league pass.

I forgot to predict the MVPs but I swear I was gonna pick Kyrie Irving yesterday, lol

I think Durant will take it Sunday.

I'm glad that things are looking up for you to be able to see the games. I hated not being able to see some of the games, and we're talking about preseason.

I forgot about the rookie game mvp too.
