I guess, but they are not a fan. NBA games take longer. Everyone does not want games to take that long. Again, this is a money issue. That means ESPN, CBS and Fox want games to last a certain amount of time. It is not happening if the TV people are not on board. They are not on board it appears. It was stated clearly, they were not on board. They want games to be in that 2-hour window or around that window. Again the NBA has more going on to allow that to happen.

Peace
