Watching the games in Italy? Help from Euro CB-ers

[Boris Badenov]

So, a couple of months ago I planned a trip to Italy with my wife - leaving June 3rd, and returning June 18th. This overlaps perfectly with the Finals schedule. Obviously, when we made these plans I did not expect the Celts to be in the Finals. Shame on me.

But the question now is, how can I watch these games? They're at 3 AM Rome time. Are any of you Europeans, and if so, how do you deal with this? Are there places where one can watch the games? What about watching the games online?

Alternatively, can I download the games with a wifi connection and watch them the next morning? Is there some sort of torrent for pro sports games?

Thanks in advance.

You can always give espn360.com a shot.  I'm not from Italy, but I know all of the Conference finals were streamed on that site.  I don't know if it will be different for the Finals, but I know ABC and ESPN are both Disney companies so I can't imagine that they won't be.

Are they streamed live, or cached? The ideal would be to watch them the next morning.

Probably one of the Italian channels will be broadcasting the finals - http://www.nba.com/schedules/international_nba_tv_schedule.html

If not, you can always watch online. There will be plenty of streams for the finals.
