Hi, I'm new

[KnicksUK]

Hi whats up everyone? I'm a Knicks fan from the UK. Since theres hardly ANY NBA on tv over here (theres like a game or two per week but is very rarely the Knicks) I gotta use the internet really to follow games.

Been following the Knicks for a while now but all the times I've been to NY I didn't manage to get a ticket at The Garden so still not got to see the team live which is a disappointment.

Does anyone know good places online to see NBA highlights or live streams other than NBA.com?

Thanks.

Welcome KnicksUK. I am fortunate enough to live in NY and I have MSG so, I can follow up on Knicks game on TV. I really don't know but, maybe if you ask around the site, you might find a way. I have heard a similar question around here. Any way, it is great to see another Knicks fan. I hope to see some more of your posts!

 

[KnicksUK]

Hope I'm not too out of my depth commenting on players etc when I only really get to see highlights of games most of the time. Even so, thanks and I hope I can contribute!

 

[Mr. J]

Any good opinion can always be used. Except if you like Tim Thomas than it becomes useless!

On NBA Live 2005 hes rated higher than Kurt Thomas.

Wait wait........I feel sick

Welcome to the Knicks forum. Usually I would have greeted you sooner but Shaq was too busy mowing down my beloved Knicksbockers. I'm still kind of depressed though so I might go to bed now. Cant wait to hear your opinions.

Those Live ratings are really questionable. I wonder why they rate people so low any way. Tim Thomas is real nice on the game though. He averages over 20ppg for me. Only if he could do that in real life...

Also try going to the Knicks Roll Call thread. It is a stickied one on the top of the forums. Right Below the Around the Forum Applications thread.

The format is different this year. Like from 59-69 would be average, 69-79 would be good, 79-89 would be great and 89-99 would be superstar.

Oh. I see. It still is a bit confusing but, I got it. Thanks Ming637.

Hey, I know a website that has the highlights for every game. mixmakers.net You have to post more than 25 posts in order to view that forum, but its worth it. Also I don't know what you mean by live streams but I follow the Sixers games by sportsline.com(this website updates the fastest),nba.com,yahoo(most complete stats),espn(average). Anyway if that's wat you're looking for, then great.

Speaking of NBA Live 2005 ,then the rateings there does not mean much !

Obviously not if they made Kurt Thomas lower than Tim Thomas.

Hi KnicksUK, welcome to JBB

. Good to see another UK Knicks fan here! You do know about NASN, right (on cable/Sky)? 3 live games a week man. They seem to be showing quite a few Knicks games in the future: http://www.nba.com/schedules/international/NASN.html. It's so good that we get decent NBA coverage here finally (4 live games a week, including Five's one), even though the Knicks aren't featured that much

.

 

[KnicksUK]

I was thinking about getting NASN but seems a bit expensive considering how few Knicks games are on. I might get it for february when theres a few Knicks games on.

Have you found any good places in the UK to buy jerseys (preferably Swingman ones)?

I just got a Marbury one when I was out in NYC but I should have bought more now I think about it.

Sky sports show highlights and occasionally matches but do you know where their schedule is? Would be nice to see a Knicks game sometime soon on there!

 

[Mr. J]

Well you're good tommorow because the game is on ABC @ 1:30. Don't forget!

I also just signed up hoping i can put out some good posts... =)

I have no idea where to get jerseys, besides Footlocker (and I don't think they sell the Swingman ones either

. What's the difference between the Swingman ones and the normal ones anyway?). I usually buy jerseys online and get them shipped here from the US, but the shipping is so expensive and you've gotta pay customs charges on top

.

The only schedule for Sky Sports I can find is here. The one on NBA.com is out of date. Channel 5 are showing a Knicks game on the 25th, against the Suns (see this).

Welcome to JBB!

 

[KnicksUK]

The Swingman ones cost around 70$US but have all the lettering and numbering stitched on and the quality feels much better than the regular replicas. I have some friends who live in NY so I might get them to send me some over to avoid having to pay all the tax etc.

Good job on finding the Channel Five schedule, definitely keep me posted if theres any other Knicks games coming up.

Oh and thanks for the welcome!

 

[Nylex]

No problem!

Welcome to the Knicks forum! It seems like in the new year we are getting many new members. I hope this is the begining of a New York Knickerbocker empire!

Anyways I hope to see more of your posts!
