^ He has a point.
Otherwise, Channel Nine will probably broadcast bits and pieces or you could go down to a sports bar/pub

watch channel 9
if you want to see a 40min game boiled down to 8 mins of highlights until midway through the 4th qtr when they cut away to that sport where they ski down a mild slope strap on something that looks like a toy rifle lie down on the ground and shoot a stationary target.
To save costs they have consolidated winter and summer into a Super Olympics ;-)

the point is watch ch9 olympic basketball if you have no interest in watching any basketball but like seeing those funny tall fellas run around with a ball for awhile before cutting away to some awesome sport that you never knew was a sport and some guy that is the best in the world simply by being one of just a handful of people that have heard of it.

Yep, as great as the Olympics are, it can be frustrating trying to follow a sport that you really want to see, only to have the networks cut to a sport you don't care about. It's definately not an easy job for the broadcasters to squeeze in 1000 sports into 2 weeks, but one would hope Channel 9 will at least appreciate the basketball, given that's one of the premium events (IMO)
