Listening to NBA games on linux

["Christoph Doerbeck" <user=1028@nabble.blu.org>]

 (from a recent blog I posted) 

As I'm racing along the east coast at 115 mph on the AMTRAK Acela train 
from NYC (2007 baseball loosers!) back home to Boston (2007 World Series 
Champs), I'm sippig a beverage and enjoying the NBA Celics broadcast on my 
Linux (RHEL 5) laptop via a Verizon EVDO and mplayer. Here are the simple 
steps to listen to NBA games on your linux desktop: 

1) register for NBA All Access here (free) 

    http://www.nba.com/allaccess/

2) then go here: 

    http://www.nba.com/broadband/alp_schedule.html

3) get link for your game (right click, copy link location) 

4) use mplayer to listen to game (paste link and remove javascript crap): 

EXAMPLE: 
    mplayer -playlist 
http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia-live/nba/7253/20_nba-boston_audio_040930.asx

enjoy...
