Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Get used to it, or get moving

With all of the complaints regarding the poor timeslot for the A's-Twins ALDS, I come bearing bad news: It's probably going to continue.

Star-divide

In 2008, the national TV deals will change and as a result, TBS will have rights to all Division Series games. And that means one thing: TBS will stretch out the schedule as it's being done now on ESPN/FOX.

As far as I've heard, none of the games will be on TBS's sister station, TNT. TBS has no choice, then, but to spread 2 or 3 games over a single day. TBS could choose to split the broadcasts nationally as is done with regular season Saturday afternoon games, but they probably want to make the most of the rights fees by spreading out the games to cover as much time as possible, so I don't expect this to happen.  

If you don't want the current scheduling scenario to continue, you might want to start writing Turner Sports to express your opinion.
