Bulls have absolutely smacked the Knickers. Liking Gasols game and the offensive weapons the Bulls have this year. Should of come to shot town Carmelo nothing but mediocrey in NY

[jakovasaurus]

Melo would have killed everything that is going to make Chicago good this year.

Having two of the best passing big men in the game in Noah and Gasol is going to be epic for your offence.

Having a ball stopper who runs 22 second iso plays for himself before taking a long contested two is literally the definition of mediocre basketball.

Yeah the Lakers game was great despite it being one sided to the road.

We had 'crappy' seats but they were more than ample for what we needed, we were surrounded by the die hard fans rather than the a-list, there is no bad seat in the house.

If your going to a lakers game make sure you get there early, the la live precinct is amaze balls and leaves anything in oz for dead when it comes to pre game pubs, bars etc etc.

You could comfortably spend an hour out side the staple centre just watching the ESPN broadcasts, games and activities etc etc

If your looking for merch we bought from the official lakers store inside staples but you pay more for the Merch than getting it in oz, or off eBay, we payed $130 for the purple Kobe jersey but the wife really wanted an actual one from the store

Inside beers are $10 but they are a 1l full strength beer, they also have mcdonals inside the stadium and its dirt cheap.

Getting to the Staples was simple, you can either get a taxi which imho are about the same price as here in oz, or what we did was get the metro sub to downtown LA for $1.75 each got off at Union station and then a 10 minute walk to the stadium, it was easy simple and safe.

Because the game didnt finish until 11, we were unsure about using the metro in downtown la so grabbed one of the billion taxi (no lineup or wait) and paid $45 to get to North Hollywood.

We are staying at the beverly garland and I can't speak high enough of the place, it's cheap because its considered far out from Hollywood (they offer a free shuttle to the closest metro station, the trains then run every ten minutes and hollywood blvd is the first stop, from go to finish you are 15 minutes from hollywood blv and sunset strip)
The hotel itself is more than adequate, secure room, clean, comfy bed, good shower, free wifi, good bar, friendly staff and a free shuttle to the closest metro sub and universal studios)

did you see how much they charge for an actual match day jersey!? absolutely ridic!!

[Brodlach]

Both Exum and Ingles got reasonable minutes for the Jazz today

[Animus]

Delly was solid in today's game, it was strange to see LeBron stink it up like that!

[BZB27]

Cavs and Bulls into OT Been a great game all night. LeBron back to his usual self has scored all of cavs points in ot so far. D.Rose out with an ankle early in the 4th i think, Gasol has had 6 blocks so far aswell

[BZB27]

24 seconds left in ot cavs up 108-104 Tristen Thompson has had 12 offence rebounds

[BZB27]

Cavs win easy in the end.

Clips up by 11 already against the Lakers with 3mins left in the first.

Adelaide's own Joe Ingles guarding LeBron James today.



A pretty glowing article on Ingles' time with both the Clippers & Jazz:

Anyone here have NBA league Pass? I'm just wondering, how much does it chew through your data? Do people recommend it?

[jakovasaurus]

If you're an nba fan and you don't have league pass, well, you aren't an nba fan.
It's a must have, even at the price. That's how highly I'd recommend it.

And internet plans these days should be such that data shouldn't be a problem, just whether or not your connection is good enough to stream it in decent quality.

Which one do you have? Normal or premium?

[jakovasaurus]

I have premium this season after having normal for the last few.

It's nice not having to listen to the bad home town broadcast crews. But it's not necessary, normal is still good (I think, unless they've changed what you get now)

[Johno6]

can someone please send me a pm that has bought tickets for the nba while in aus before.

lookin at doing it now just want some pointers first to make sure i do it right etc

cheer

Kobe passed Jordan today to become 3rd all-time leading scorer

[Browny25]

WARRIORS streak continues!!

[Grahaml]

Kobe passed Jordan today to become 3rd all-time leading scorer

That's all that really matters. The -205 (second worst for an individual player in the whole league) the Lakers are with him on the court? Meh. Just don't mention to him the Lakers are +41 with him off the courst this season.
