tang-ina!! wala na ata budget ang BTV kasi hindi na sila nakapag-live ng NBA game puro na lang postgame! bakit pa kasi nakipag-partner pa sila sa ABS-CBN wala naman alam nyan sa basketball ang alam lang nyan ay drama! mas mabuti pa manood na lang ng NBA live game sa internet kaysa umasa sa BTV,ABS-CBN,at STUDIO 23 na puro lang postgame,replay,at via satelite!
ang ABS-CBN at STUDIO 23 every weekend lng mag-live at palaging via satelite pa! walang silbi! hoy! BTV wala na ba kayong alam na ipalabas sa show nyo kundi BULLS vs SIXERS?!! talo na ang BULLS nyo!.. walong team na lng ang natitira pero hindi nyo pa rin ini-live ang HEAT vs PACERS at LAKERS vs THUNDER! kailan ba kayo magsasawa sa BULLS nyo?!! halata naman na fans kayo ni Noah i mean ng BULLShit!
puro replay lng ang mga bwisit sbi live every morning tpos puro playback pinapalabas tpos postgame na kagad anong klase coverage yan wag kyo mgdamot sa kapwa niyo pilipino alam niyo din na mahilig ang pinoy sa basketball ayusin niyo schedule niyo dapat lahat pinapalabas niyo ang nangyayari tuloy sa nba.com na lng napapanuod at recap lng maawa kyo samen ng gusto makapanuod ng live!!!
final four for the nba it could be oklahoma, miami heat, bulls, san antonio. but the two teams hardly predict Boston & LA while the Dallas as you know can hardly going back to final four because of there traded players.
Its a fun to have this idea na magkaroon ng mga sigment o comment dito sa inyong network more power to you this is great. we are please enjoyed seeing sa mga teams na malakas local or foreign players siyempre basketball tayo it was not lucky to me kasi hinde ako nag aral dito sa manila sa dami ng mga liga e my skil siguro madevelop ng husto, very simple when you want to be a great player you could be more than michael jordan but for my height i admire most to iverson. see me next generation..... ex toyota alfutten guard forward 1987 arnelvillanueva maco davao...
i am hoping that studio 23 & btv will air more games. everyday they can air 1 game. wala na kasing btv sa cable. sana ma pansin nnyo ang mga gusto ng mga manunuod ng studio23. mas matangkilik pa namin palagi ang channel ninyo if you air more games not just sat,sun &mon. kahit via satilite lang masaya na kami. baksyon nakasi. sana naman, pansinin ninyo ang mga e-mail namin.
Where can i find the NBA schedule for Studio 23? Thanks
waka na ba kayong ipalabas kundi si kobybryant
PULPOL ITONG SOLAR SPORTS NAKIPAG PARTNER NGA SA ABS TINANGGAL NAMAN ANG BASKETBALL TV SA CABLE CHANNELS!!THE HELL WITH YOU GUYS!
hina nman pala ng network nyo, kinaya lang kayo ng ganid na ABS CBN! ,,nagpakabit lang ako ng cable para sa basketball TV, tapos nagpamaniobra lang kayo para mapanuod lang ang delayed telecast ng channel 2 at studio 23 ng NBA..tapos tuwing weekend lang... kawalang gana kayo,mga pulpol!!!
pati ba nman nba pinasok na rin abs mga mukhang pera!
i hope solar sports will give the tv rights to show ncaa march madness next year. para pure college hoops ang abs-cbn sports may ncaa at uaap na may ncaa amerika pa di ba masaya yun
ako mas ok na yung nba on abs-cbn sports kaysa kay manny pacquiao it's not a big deal eventually all top rank fights is under abs-cbn sports at di marami ang commercial not in gma7 madami nakakaantok
bukas po 7 am ang live coverage nang knicks and celtics tapos ipapalabas po nila nang 8 am,bakit po ganon? dahil po ba may umagang kay ganda pa..... hinda po ba mali yon ganon.
Wala na ba kayong alam ipalabas sa btv kundi chicago bulls at pacers lang???
goodnews mga kpamilya nandito na ang nba at pba s abs-cbn
anong araw at oras po ang sched ng nba sa abs cbn?
Im very glad that NBA will be aired in ABS-CBN.
Sounds good to me... bad to GMA7. Cong. Pacquiao (solar) with GMA7 not ABS-CBN When Manny retires... what's next for GMA7. hmmm...
