NBA Regular Season 2012/13

Finally

My predictions:

Champs: Heat over Lakers

MVP: LeBron
Finals MVP: LeBron
ROY: Anthony Davis
DPOY: Dwight Howard
MIP: Goran Dragic

Nothing out of the ordinary there, but it's hard to see past any of them IMO.

Heat will cost to the east I reckon with the west coming down to Lakers and OKC. I'd give the edge to the Lakers at the minute but that's just down to their team on paper. For all we know they may not even gel straight away while the Thunder team know each other very well and will have built up a nice team spirit over the past couple of years. Still, I'd have to give the Lakers the edge until we see how things develop.

As much as I don't like LeBron (and to be honest I thought I'd still be angry about the Heat winning last season but surprisingly it didn't really bother me all that much even at the time) he's by far and away the best player in the league and will stroll to the league MVP and finals MVP if Miami are to win it.

As for my own team. It's going to be so bad not getting to see D Rose out there on the court We're in a bit of uncertainty at the minute, to say the least. Of our first 53 games, over half are against teams that were playoff teams last year so we could get off to a very sticky start. Don't get me wrong I think we're still a playoff team and will win the vast majority of games we're favourites for. I think we can win about 45 games for around a 7th seed in the playoff, hopefully avoid the Heat in the first round and at this stage D Rose should be about ready. Then things get interesting

Roll on the start of the season

I ordered espn just to watch the nba but no games on anywhere. Wtf?

Can you order ESPN without the Sky package?
How much is that?

ESPN are not great for games. They do a few but not a lot. They have more when you hit playoffs.

Yeah ESPN only show them sporadically during the regular season but when it gets to playoffs and finals they show a huge amount of games.

Il have to make do with the NBA action prog for now until the playoffs start. Anyone else think King James will end the GOAT argument this year. I think he will just go beast mode for the entire season

There is no argument. He'll never touch Jordan.

OH NBA how I have missed you. Can't wait for tomorrow night

My predictions:

Champs: Lakers over Heat (Although I honestly think it could go either way, my gut says that Kobe wants that 6th ring too bad, and with a great supporting cast, I think it will be the Lakers

MVP: LeBron
Finals MVP:Kobe
ROY: Anthony Davis
DPOY: Dwight Howard
MIP: Paul George
6thOY:Ginobili

Do ESPN have a list of scheduled games that they are going to show?

What time are the games on at tomorrow (Irish time) lads? I have them down as the following, but with the hour gone back I'm not 100% sure, cheers:

Wizards @ Cavs (11pm)
Boston @ Miami (12am)
Dallas @ Lakers (2:30am)

Whenever you're unsure about the times, just check an Irish bookies online and go to the game.

Your times are right though.

Am I right in saying that ESPN UK are not renewing the rights for this seasons TV coverage? Total disaster if the case.

Jesus christ, it better not end up as bad as the mid 00's, there was no coverage at all.

Sky get your finger out and sort this sh!t.

Heat are 6.5 point favourites tonight. What do you all think about that line? About right? I'd love to see the Celtics win it, really spoil the Heat's opening night, but I'm not bitter :pac:
