Foxtel. About 2 years ago they started putting a heap more NBA regular season and finals games. Plus you get a login to WatchESPN.com with your Foxtel account which has some games (NBA and College) that are t on the 2 main ESPN channels on Foxtel. They have a truckload of college games, all NBL games live and some fair euro league content too. Foxtel is the way to go in my opinion.

Foxtel Internet (I think it's called 'Now') through my TV is probably 90% of how I watch most sports.

Ok, here we go again. No free beer as the Cat wasn't available to shoot from half way and I sadly missed. However, promoters discretion, I award myself a beer :P

Breakers vs 36ers - 2,893 @ NSEC (70%)
Kings vs Tigers - 6,010 @ SEC (57%)
Wildcats vs Hawks - 'about' 4,000 @ CS (89%)
Tigers vs Taipans - 3,030 @ SNC (87%)

Round Attendance - 15,933 (70% of 22,631) [NSEC 4,114 - SEC 10,517 - CS 4,500 - SNC 3,500]
Round Average Attendance - 3,983.25

What can I say about the crowd in Auckland on Thursday? Agree with me or not but for a game where they are unveiling their 2010-11 championship banner and retiring Paul Hanare's #32, 2,893 is a rather piss poor crowd IMO, especially after getting a NZ record crowd at Vector the previous week. I know it was on a Thursday but most of the Breakers home games are so no excuse there. And don't give me any crap about the RWC affecting crowds, that finished 2 weeks ago. Is playing the bottom team an excuse?

Kings/Tigers was probably as expected though I got the feeling during the telecast that the NBL and Kings might have been hoping for at least 7,000 (Gaze alluded to this many times in commentary).

Wildcats crowds seem to be sliding at about 250 people a week. But still, 4,000 isn't bad, especially against the Hawks. I doubt the slide will continue for very long, especially if the Wildcats keep winning.

Is the Patty Mills attraction starting to wear off? First home game for Melbourne that wasn't a sellout at what is the NBL's smallest current venue (or if it was a sellout then 470 people didn't show). The Tigers are the one team right now that you would expect to be able to fill their 3,500 seat venue, especially with a current NBA player, and an Aussie at that, on their playing roster.
