Despite promises of every finals game LIVE we've been let down once again by Fox who will show tonights Semi Final Game 3 from 9:11pm Adelaide time, roughly 20mins after the game has ended.
If this is what we can expect next year will the Fox deal be worth the hassle?

well if you look at the schedule you will see:
Fox sports 1 - A-league grandfinal LIVE
Fox sports 2 - Rugby union LIVE
Fox sports 3 - Australia Cricket LIVE
What do you expect them to do?

exactly, tmagz, the 3 sports you mentioned are there Bread and Butter on FOX sports,
if anything we should be happy there showing it then and not a 1am or something, as there are other super 14 matches they could show instead which would rate higher
and yes the foxtel deal is worth it

I'm pissed off about it but I do agree with the points above!
It's not like it is badminon or scrabble...
Is there a chance the scheduling of the finals is the problem here? When you have the best 4 teams left in the comp wouldn't you want them to be fresh so they could produce the best basketball possible?
Friday Wednesday Friday - Series 1
Saturday Thursday Saturday - Series 2
It seems that after 30 games in 22 weeks (or whatever) the NBL tries to get the finals over and done with as quickly as possible!

Fuel TV had live Rugby as well due to a lack of Fox Sports channels.
