>>Only later, upon reading the box score, did I find out that a lot of the 
guys I wanted to see - like Kendrick - were injured. NBATV's announcers couldn't 
be bothered to tell us that. >>

They did mention Kendrick had what they called a sprained foot.  It was just 
one quick mention though.  You must have missed it.


>>But they did tell us that the Celtics have re-signed Corey (sic!) Blount 
and that Bruno was a rookie last year (hard to blame them for that impression, 
though).>>

I caught those too.  I think some guys are destined to be called by the wrong 
name.  Sort of like how everyone always makes the mistake of calling Drew 
Gooden "Dwight", no matter how hard they try not to.
 

>>Looking forward to seeing the whole game tonight - DirecTV changed NBATV's 
channel, so I missed the first quarter while trying to figure out what 
happened to Ch. 720. For those of you who have DirecTV and don't know it yet, it's 
now on Ch. 601 (apologize to those who can't get it at all!).

Yes, it was nice of DTV to inform us of the move.  I had the same problem 
last week when I wanted to watch one of the LA summer league games.
I thought I was going to have to go through the hell of actually trying to 
talk to someone at DTV.  It always seems to end the same way.  After holding on 
line for what seems like an eternity then going through a series of questions, 
turning the receiver off, turning it back on, unplugging it, plugging it back 
in, trying different stations, etc., they decide they can't help you and you 
need to talk to a technician.  After being transferred and holding on line for 
another eternity they decide you need a new program card which will have to 
be mailed.  You bitch and moan and get them to send it overnight delivery.  
Then you get the card the next day and have to call to get it activated, going 
through the whole phone process all over again.
If your lucky the new card works (which hasn't always the case in my 
experience).

I love my Direct TV but they have to have the worst customer service in 
creation.
