I've always been surprised by the British lack of interest for Basketball, that must be the second most popular sport in the world after football at least in terms of tv rights and spectators. The NBA is broadcast nearly everywhere in the world and there are players from many many nations, including 4 very good british born players... The Euroleague is improving year after year and the American national dream team has had a touch time for a long time now, since so many nations are now up to the task. Only UK is missing at the top cub level and who knows if the British who play in NBA will ever deliver for team UK. Why British poeple show such scarse interest for this nice, elegant and complete sport? NASN is showing nearly every American thing except NBA. Its tactical depth is perhaps unique, and watching Basketball at most levels is rarely boring.
Anyone follow it on here?

Not a big basketball fan but I'm off to Toronto next week and going along to see The Raptors. I didn't realise they had a NBA team in Toronto. Looking forward to it (not as much as the ice hockey tho!).

I never miss a celtics game......................................on TV. Been to two games this year.
Started watching them last year, ended up having the second worst record in the NBA. My how the table's have turned. We signed two allstars now we have the best record in the NBA.
The Celtics have a tough trip to the texas triangle in Feb (Dallas, Houston and Spurs) this will be a massive test for them, if they emerge from this road trip with 3 wins, expect them to win it all.
