Yeah there’ll likely be a home game then. Tickets are cheap by NBA standards (I paid $120 courtside against mediocre opposition) and the Kia Centre is 5 mins walk from the city centre.

Then there will be plenty of podcasts too 🙂 I like the Hoop Collective, which is serious but humourous. Then The Lowe Post is good for in depth, tactical stuff I semi-understand. The latter especially has rumours, fake trades, hypotheticals. Basketball can be a true rabbit hole.

I don’t think you need to follow a team, you’ll learn who’s fun to watch and high scoring. If you do, maybe go for somewhere with direct, not too expensive flights in case you want to go (NY, San Fran, Miami, Orlando, LA, Boston).

Buy League Pass for £160 with no ads and the prior night’s games will be available in full + highlights when you wake up (there may be short wait for the last Western game/s). Then you can pick your own viewing schedule based on teams, players and match ups you want to see. This sub will provide the best plays and box scores (player stats). I unsubscribe during the season so I don’t get spoilers, then check in once I’ve seen the game/s I want.

I’m going tonight and am expecting running battles across South London all day between USA and fans.
