One's NBL games this weekend - is this a joke?

No probs KingJames, thought it was that :)

What's the alternative to showing the games on One though? Forget Foxtel, they're still pissed at the NBL and besides that it limits the potential audience. Seven? We'd get January where games are likely to be shown st 2 or 3 in the morning because of their commitment to the tennis and then from Feb/March they start with the AFL. That leaves 9 or the ABC. Presonally I'd rather the ABC if anyone because 9 have the cricket followed in March by their late night NRL telecasts (late night outside of NSW & Qld). At least the ABC don't treat their sports fans like they don't matter...

If it came down to a cost thing for One then how hard would it be for them to show the Kings vs Crocs game on Sunday instead?

I'm not a fan of what has happened this year with TV coverage, to a point.

But the schedule was decided before the season started. So the Tigers 36ers game at the time may of been a decent match up. many thought that the Taipans & Crocs would finish in the bottom 3 before the season started (the other game that night)

I'm sure ONE/TEN could of allowed modification to the TV schedule once it was obvious that the Taipans Crocs match up would be more entertaining than two teams fighting to stay middle of the no where pack.

In saying that, no excuse for 2 Hawks Blaze games on one weekend. Maybe it had something to do with money & travel exp?

I'm a Hawks fan.. But i'm also a NBL & basketball fan, and this annoys me.

Sadly I can't argue about the way One is treating the NBL or its fans.

And KingJames the main difference is that the 36ers played 2 different teams in Round 18, unlike this round where One are showing BOTH games between the Hawks and the Blaze this weekend. Once is ok but both in the same round is more than a bit on the nose, it stinks to high heaven as my mum would say.

And when is the NBL going to grow some balls and say something???

Good call. That does seem to be the basis of everything else One has done with the NBL this season after all. They really are being spiteful bitches, sacrificing their own ratings just to stick it to the NBL because they no longer like the contract they signed with them.

2 teams playing each other twice on the same weekend isn't unheard of but to televise both games while totally ignoring other games is a joke and shows that One (Ten) don't really give a rats arse about the NBL or its fans.

How fucking hard would it be for them to telecast the Kings vs Crocs or `Cats vs Taipans game on Sunday instead of giving us the Blaze and Hawks for the second time in 3 days?
