No, that's what sucks about the UK, they don't show basketball on TV hardly ever except one game a week on channel 5, the only way to watch it is probably to get a league pass for the playoffs and watch it on your computer

When I lived in London during the 2005-06 season, there were NBA games on the telly at this one bar in Soho. I caught a couple of Laker-Phoenix games there. I am not remembering the name of the place, but I think it might have been near Piccadilly Circus. The bad news, of course, is that night games come on really late, like at 330am due to the time difference. Even a 6pm start time in LA is 2am in London. So the only games that were practical for me to catch were the Sunday day games which started at 12:30pm in LA, that was 8:30pm over there.

I had an American expat neighbor who had the NASL Sports package on his cable so I got to watch a couple of Finals games that year.

Hi there, I would call THE SPORTS BAR (it's just down the street from Picadily square right by Tiger Tiger (across the street). That is the only place where I could watch USC play and other sports. Good luck!
