I don't understand what NBC has to do with anything--- they no longer have any ties w/ the NBA--- was the post article incorrect, refering to ABC's broadcast?
Regardless, this is pretty lame. We don't see YES network games blocked off because of FOX--- oh wait, FOX ALWAYS SHOWS THE YANKEES.

They are going to do it again:

The Knicks' game wasn't on television because of NBC Sunday blackout. Knick fans will also be in the dark next Sunday when Knicks face Keith Van Horn's Bucks in Milwaukee.
