I want to catch as many games as I can..

Is there a TV channel that will play some games?
Is there a way to watch the games online?

Can't wait!!

NBA.com has an international broadband package where you can catch all the games. There is two packages: one for $100 usd, gets you all games in HD on demand anytime you want with all press conferences. The other package is for $70 usd, which allows you to view all games up to 48 hours later in standard definition without the press conferences and I believe you can view it only in a 4x5 screen. The $100 package is for sure the way to go. I'm debating on whether to spend the money now since my Jazz blew it today and now are likely to fall flat on their face against the Lakers in the second round or possibly against Denver in the first. I'm still livid about this, biggest game of the year and they don't show up!

SBS Sports airs NBA games live (and NHL, too) and I believe MBC ESPN still does, especially deep into the playoffs.

Fear not, the nuggets blew the same "last game against the suns" also. They are a hot team..can't do much about it. Hopefully the Nuggets/Jazz series is good, and the nuggets pull out the victory Smile

I'll have to check out these other sites, because something isn't allowing me to download the NBA broadband package. Does anyone know if you can watch these games at a later time on any of these other sites? I will be right in the middle of my classes while most of these games are being played.
As much as I hate the Nuggets with a passion, I do have some sympathy because of the adversity they have faced this season with the personal battle Coach Karl is faced with. Ex Jazzman Adrian Dantley has done a great job filling in. It should be a great series with but team's physical power down low and both teams having the ability to just fire away from the perimeter. God I love NBA playoffs! Go JAZZ!

I pay for the league package.

IMO, well worth it for hoops junkies.

SBS and MBC are too busy playing reruns of 2008 Olympics baseball or professional indoor women's volleyball.

But both stations, especially SBS Sports, DO air the games live though broadcasting of the early rounds are sproadic.
