I'm taking my wife camping tomorrow for her birthday so I will only be able to really watch tonight - but I plan on camping out in front of the TV from about 5:30-1 AM and damn, am I excited.

I'd like to record some of these games somehow as my MJ collection is seriously lacking. Anyone have any idea if these will be streaming online or any way to capture a feed?

What are you guys looking forward to?

If I'm lucky I'll catch the Nets game tonight. Or at least part of it. That's about all I can watch with school and homework and stuff. Might be able to steal the last few minutes of the Jazz game tomorrow (which I've seen so many times) but that's iffy.

Damn Stacey King used to be skinny compared to now.
