I thought you were joking at first.
There are plenty of live coverage of NBA games on Korean cable t.v. with complete play by play in Korean. I don't know the schedule but some of MBC-ESPN, SBS-Sports, XSports, etc. At least three stations have covered the NBA, but since I don't watch, I always grumble about the lack of hockey and click past it. |

I can, shoot me for saying it, cope with a lack of hockey... I'm a Detroiter, I'm being asked to choose between my oldest son and my youngest.... but he's just so much cuter and the new league rules suck ass.
Anyway, I don't want to see the crappy games that are on... I want to see all the Piston games... are there any sat services? |

The NBA should do what MLB has done: full coverage on the Internet.
As for being able to get Detroit or Michigan television channels in Korea, even on satellite... I dunno... good luck! |

A lot of "oldschool" hockey fans are complaining about the new rules, but they're spectator friendly and have really sucked in new fans, especially after the lockout.
The Nucks vs Oils game tonight was an absolute ripper. Best game I'd seen all season.
jae. |

Hockey has, and always will be, for me, about goaltending. I don't want to see 9-7 games, I want to see a goalie stand on his head and end up with a score of 1-0.
PS... The Redwings own The <insert your crappy team name here>
PPS... The Pistons own The <insert your crappy team name here>
PPPS... The <insert your crappy team name here> own The Lions
PPPPS... The <insert your crappy team name here> own The Tigers
PPPPPS... Hockey and Basketball are the only good American sports. |

I've watched 2 Pistons games and 2 Wings games since I've been home..
brilliant!
The Millen-protest should make today's Lions game interesting.. a march and Lions fans dressing like and cheering for the Bengals.. |

If Hockey and Basketball are Canadian sports... then how come Canadians don't ever win them? (ha)
You can have hockey, even though its a Euro sport (Dutch)... but if you try claiming basketball I'll come home and personally beat your ass (even though it *was* invented by a Canadian, he was an American at the time living in MA) |

But what about the game of the year??? Spurs at Detroit on Christmas day?!?!?!
Oh, and *beep* the lakers. I hate those sons of bitches, Kobe is a *beep*. I still have a woody from when the Pistons broke that team in half, sent Shaq to Miami and gave Phil Jackson a nice vacation... wonder if they'll make the playoffs this year. ROFL.
PS.. please repost that link, it doesn't work. |

Easy, we don't have enough ghettos in our country to develop talent.

No, he was a Canadian living in the States... but again, there was that lack of ghettos I mentioned so he had to go somewhere...
We do have one thing in common, we both cheer for the same teams.. I love having Detroit around.. it is Windsor's biggest suburb and it adds a lot of flavour..
...and no, Hockey was not invented by the Dutch... and name one NHL championship team in history that didn't have a healthy dose of Canadiana on the team.. |

Actually I believe he was a Canadian who immigrated to America....
And yeh, Hockey goes to the Dutch, there are paintings of them playing the game in the 16th century... long long before the Canucks can lay claim to it.
As for naming a NHL championship team without a healthy dose of Canuckism? Simple, the Russian Federation of the Red Wings.
As for ghettos to develop talent? A bit racist I might say.
Oh, and no, Detroit is not Windsors biggest suburb... Windsor is one of Detroit's smaller suburbs. |

Sarcasmkills was closer to the truth, in a way.
Americans go to Windsor's casino and American college students go to Windsor's nightclubs, the influx is very noticeable.
Detroit is Windsor's biggest suburb (in the spirit in which sarcasmkills intended)
The mass transit the other way is to Red Wings games at the Joe, in which case, Windsor is a huge suburb for them.
I will be in Windsor for all of next summer, because I have to, not because I wanna smell the metals in the air of the Detroit/Windsor area. |

I'm not looking to start another Canada vs. US deal, because I think that kind of crap is weak, but I will clarify the FACTS I stated earlier a little bit..

No he kept his Canadian citizenship until much later in his life.. decades infact after he invented Basketball...

I'm sure there are cave paintings men with clubs.. does that mean they invented baseball?

Friend. I'm probably the biggest Red Wing fan that you'll ever meet. You tell me they would have won those cups without Yzerman, Shanahan, Draper, Murphy, McCarty, etc.. hell, even Vernon and Osgood.. The Russian five was magic, but they were far form the reason they won the cups. Plus, they were only together for one cup unfortunately... but without that healthy dose of Canadiana, none of those cups happen.

Biatch please. This is far from racist. Ghettos are multi-cultural dude. It was just a snide comment, but you tell me there's no truth to it,,. Just like ghettos in many 3rd world countries breed soccer's best, ghettos in the US breed basketball players. Fact Jack. Don;t ge all P.C. on my arse.
