    If I lived closer to Houston and could pick up MY20 OTA that's what I would do.So I will be watching ABC HD.

    When the FSN game goes up against ESPN or TNT simulcast I always watch it on FSN.Just a little supersticous(sp).

    Because I'll be in Austin. Otherwise, I'd probably switch back and forth. I'll be able to download the local anyways. :)

    And the Breen-Jackson-Van Gundy announcing team is probably the best in the NBA, so I'm good.

    ...again...the game on My20 is in HD!!!!!

    ...also...coverage on My20 will start at 1:30pm...with an hour long pregame show...with "Scoop" Berman in the driver's seat...

    ...I've seen a preview...and...I don't want to give too much away...but...the Yao Ming interview will be part of the pregame show!!!!...no one but Mark has had the opportunity to catch up with Yao Ming since his surgery...on TV!!!!

    ...amorephd...

    ^ You forgot to mention, Clyde is NOT working this game! So it will be Matt and Bill...I repeat, no Clyde!

    When you ask for today's game I'd say ABC. Right it will be nice to hear JVG. And the best thing will be to hear JVG if Rockets win. Not only JVG, generally I like ABC commentators (maybe not Bill Walton).

    I live in Sweden and I hope there's a link up on www.rojadirecta.com for watching the game with commenting by Bill and Clyde. I think they're great!

    As for the link I wouldn't be so sure. I mean there are links (direct) only for games which are streamed on nba lp and this game is not.

    But there will be a stream on justin tv and probably on sopcast

    I thought I heard Bill say that Clyde wouldn't be doing the Laker's game. I like Bull better.

    If you have a DVR, you watch the game on HD, it is usually delayed enough to where you can pause it as the game starts and then synch it with the radio broadcasts. I do it all the time.

    The only locals I care for are Bill, Gene and Jim. Bull does nothing for me and Clyde is just funny to laugh at. I'll go with JVG since I want to hear what he says about his former team. He showed mad love for them last week. Plus the man is funny. My favorite outside of Bill and Calvin.

    I don't live in Texas so I only get Bill/Clyde/Matt because of LP. Today I don't have a choice, but if I did, I'd take ABC. The video editing, camera angles, etc., are better. Plus JVG is now everyone's favorite commentator. :)

    In Austin, I don't have the option. But why anyone on this planet would chose Bill and Bull (or Bill and Clyde or Bill, Clyde and Bull) over listening to VG analyze a game is mind boggling. Plus, I think the next time I hear Worrell's "T-Mac to the rack" I'm gonna barf.
