    Man I miss court surfing on the score
    I'm pretty sure they had Court Surfing on SN360 last year, didn't they? Was I that out of it? I had the super sports pack most of the year(football reasons).

      TSN is going to ramp up its coverage of the NBA after the US NCAA College Football season fades in December. They have 5 new channels to fill and they are joined at the hip with ESPN so look for more NBA coverage in general.

      Love to see them re-purpose some of the money they were using on NHL broadcasts and broadcast teams on a bona fide NBA analyst type show. Maybe bring in former Raptor and ESPN guy Jalen Rose to do a show with Sam Mitchell and Jack Ramsay for an hour every other night. If nothing else it will make for great live televison.

      Rogers (sportsnet) and the NHL inside of 3 years will come to rue that exclusive deal they cut. Look for a divorce based on illness. The NHL gets sick of Rogers and Rogers gets sick of the NHL.
      There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

          In a city that their home team sucked up the joint and is predicted not to make the playoffs ... Rogers is throwing a big blcok party at Dundas square to kick off the NHL season .. The Raptors division champs and set to repeat you will get cricket sounds ...

          I agree TSN should go all out to grow NBA in this city ... It shouldn't be hard ... The city doesn't love it's star player and it's Captain on the hockey side but Raps roster is filled with playes this city loves ..

            We will probably still get relegated to TSN2. Pub night will be on the main channel. Followed by a strong man competition and then some Snooker. On TSN2 we can miss the first 2 quarters because a lacrosse game goes long.

              I dont think they put us on TSN 2 because no one gives a shit. I think it's because the know we DO care. Enough that we'd pay extra for TSN 2 and 3,4,5,6 however many they have, just to watch raps games

                  Disagree. If that were the case, then the Leafs would be on TSN2, because we all know that Leafs fans will pay anything, no matter the cost.

                  The main network is reserved for the the highest drawing sports because their advertising space generate the most revenue. Ford (for example) isn't going to pay top dollar if only a handful of viewers are seeing their commercials.

                  The Raptors, just don't have the national TV numbers yet.

                    I like 590 for my Raps stuff, as TSN gives us Raps fans the short stick. I hope they're smart and place us on TSN4, as that is the main channel for Toronto people. But I bet we will get more Sens and Jets games instead. That's a big shame.

                      Just so some of you know, TSN is not carrying hockey for the next 12 years on any of their channels. Rogers bought the NHL deal.

                      Perfect time for them to bring in the new breed of Raptors/NBA viewers. I wish it was the other way around and Rogers had the NBA, I like their personalities better. Plus they have Tim and Sid!

                        TSN doesn't have national NHL rights, but they still carry loads of regional games, including a lot of Leafs games in the GTA. So it's not quite as wide open a schedule as you make it seem. Nonetheless, there is an opportunity there.

                          NBA TV has best Raptors coverage. Sirius XM NBA radio has good overall league coverage. Justin Termine and Frank Isola are knowledgable.

                            Woops, My bad! I thought I was certain that Rogers was doing all games from now on... Either way, it doesn't seem like they have too many games. As you say, still a big opportunity to create something nice with the basketball community.

                              Logically one would think since TSN lost the hockey rights to Rogers they would be inclined to show and cover more Raptors related but knowing the idiots at TSN they will still no give a shit about the Raps

                                I'm not sure who covers it best now but hopefully tsn takes the reins on this one. They've got the game tonight, they're doing a basketball preface on their radio station. I hope they run with basketball instead of hockey leftovers
