Time for a new one for the new season. Spooky, are you looking forward to the game?

I guess the mighty Miami won't be going 82-0 after all

Why, whats happened ?


**Edit, just seen they got beat last night, I thought one of the stars had got injured or something with your comment. We will still win the Championship though, and with the Dolphins winning the NFL this year, it will be the year of MIAMI !!**

Too much hype and too much expectation on the heat. Add to the mix how pumped up teams like the lakers and celtics will feel about basically been ignored as potential champions by some sections of the media and I'm pretty confident that Lebron will still be waiting for his first ring this time next year.

As for the dolphins, I'd just settle for ensuring the jets don't win it all. I was hopeful about the phins chances at the start of the season, but losing our first 3 home games, 2 against division rivals has put those feelings to bed.

I am yes, but I'm kind of torn about it because I'm missing the World Series opener and Lincecum is pitching.

No expectations from this season. We'll lose plenty more than we win. But I am curious to see who, if anyone, steps up. On the plus side, it wont be difficult to get cheap tickets to Raps games this season.

Just managed to watch the bulls @ thunder from the other night.

A great game that was played at exceptional pace considering it was the season opener. I'm not too discouraged that the bulls started with a loss, the thunder are a great team especialy at home and Rose again showed that he could be ready to take his performances to the next level.

Really looking forward to the magic @ heat tonight.

Well for the first time, I'm going to make an effort to follow the NBA this year. Go Clippers!

Be half decent this year with Blake Griffin.

Are the games shown in the UK anywhere? ESPN i'm guessing........

Correct, but only 2 games a week. The Wednesday and Friday night ESPN games. Bulls@Celtics tonight.

Do you think that'll increase later on?

It didn't last season. They also have play off coverage, but I am pretty certain that that was also only 2 games a week until the finals where every game was covered.

If you get the full ESPN coverage on Sky then you will also get ESPN America that shows sports daily with brief highlights of each nights games as well as NBA Tonight about 3 times a week.

ESPN America will also have wall to wall coverage of college hoops all the way until March Madness and the championship game.

If you like US sports in general, then ESPN is a bargain at a tenner a month.

Got ESPN. Didn't have it last year though so wasn't sure. NBA tonight is quite good. We(knicks) are looking better, but giving up a shat load of points.

Sport is where I catch up on most to be honest. Couldn't live without it!

What did you think of Blake, Mark?

He gave a facial to us about 4 times. Scarily good player. I can't see him staying there for long.

The Knicks are rolling now. 6 out of 7. Rumours the raptors may move.

Think you're confusing moving to being bought out. Strong rumours are that Rogers are trying to buy the controlling stake in MLSE, which would mean they would own every single sports francshise in Toronto except the Argos (although they do play at the Rogers Centre). They already own the Jays. If it happens I can see Rogers making sure that their teams games only get shown on their sports channels. As it is, they have exclusive rights to Blue Jays games.It's basically a power play by a huge money making machine so that they can make even more money. The last thing they want to do is move any of these teams out of Toronto.

I only caught it via twitter. Thanks for correcting me.

Melo wants New York Knicks only. The Knicks are back......WOOOOOOOOOO!

Do you think they'll try and pick him up now or wait til the summer when they wont have give up anything for him.

I think they're stupid enough not to trade him. They could get next to nothing though.

Lebron will get a taste of the atmosphere he could have experienced 41 times this season. I think we'll lose but he is going to get some bad abuse.

Clippers win back to back road games!!! Detroit and Chicago! Cracking. Blake Griffin is a BEAST.

Unstoppable. His dunks are frightening.
