Oh sh*t, what a blow.

to me, as european basketball watcher, this was the most used site to get streams.

luckily there 2 at least 2 sites more where it is possible to get streams..

Anyway, hope they end up on top.

atdhe already has a new site up. I don't think I'm allowed to post it though?

**** **** **** ****!

this really does stink for the hundreds of bobcats fans that have absolutely no choice what-so-ever but to use streams thanks to the fight between the nba and fox and local cable operators and the 90 mile rule for dish and the blackout rules for league pass.

Thanks doc.

95% of my family and friends are south east. They got pretty wet a couple of weeks ago with the floods, but nothing like the water that hit further up north.

The cyclone that has just hit is effecting the same area's up north. I'm not sure how they are going to recover after this following so closely on the heels of the floods.

And to think, this time last year the whole country was on fire.

Mother Nature can be one angry lady!

Yeah, i hope any Aussie fans are safe in the Cyclone Yasi, soon to be category 5. Man Aussie weather be WILD, for the last 3-4 years it's been hit hard with fires, now floods and cyclones.

[fatlever]

that reminds me... i saw a flash flood video from australia a few days ago. totally crazy stuff.

video says toowoomba on jan 10th, 2011.

stay dry aussies.

We're technically not supposed to talk about those things. But how could we not? It's the only way we can even see the stuff most the time.

If anyone has any doubts that something is going awry with our environment/climate they need to head to Australia. Parts of Victoria had a white Christmas this year, which is just unheard of. Queensland gets massive flooding and then Cyclone Yasi strikes, the 3rd to hit in a month or so and the biggest Cyclone ever to hit Australia. Some 600km's (about 400 miles) wide.

I'm on the West Coast so I've been luckily enough to miss all the drama so far.

Luckily most towns in the those tropical towns are pretty much built cyclone proof so there appears to have been no serious injuries. Banana's are going to get hell expensive though!

Snow everywhere. Warming. Global that is. LOL. Nobody proved it is not just a natural cycle (ice were and will be, meanwhile...). It is all well oiled fraud.

[SWedd523]

A popular misconception about global warming is that it'll only lead to hot weather. In reality, global warming leads to more extreme weather on BOTH ends of the spectrum. Colder winters, Hotter Summers, Shorter springs/falls.


As much as I disagree with Global Warming and the hockey stick graph and all of that hooplah, I do think the oil dependency needs to end because we ARE destroying the environment and that needs to stop.

LOL, fullstop.

very true.

and here is the bottom line... global warming is a big picture idea. something that is such a big picture idea it will be nearly impossible to prove in any one mans lifetime. however, even if global warming advocates are completely wrong about humans causing changes in global weather patters it doesnt take a genius to figure out that pollution on any scale is not a good thing for the environment. i wish people would stop focusing on trying to prove or disprove global warming and start focusing on the smaller scale concepts such as stop being so damn wasteful and selfish. putting chemicals into the air and water and ground, filling the landfills with plastic, cutting down trees without proper regrowth strategies etc... these are all things that any simple minded person should be able to see are not good things for the planet and humans in general. even if global warming is a giant myth doesnt mean that you should be driving around in a hummer, drinking out of Styrofoam cups, dumping waste into the creeks and building coal factories.

just a little common sense would be nice.

ok, no more politics from me.

[Tupik]

Well said fats. Even though I do believe in global warming, what you are saying is very true.
