How did this happen? Game 4 of Bull-Nets was not the first NBA playoff ever game to go into overtime. Besides TNT, Turners Sports owns or operates three other channels where they air basketball. So why doesn't TNT and the NBA have a contingency plan for overlapping playoff games? No one knows. But we do know how Grizzlies fans and media across the U.S. reacted on Twitter and here are some of those tweets:
You gotta be kidding me Bulls-Nets. Turner had the tourney on like 8 channels. Can we not find another one for Clips-Grizz? So frustrating.
should of already put Clips/Grizz on TBS?!?!? What, didn't want to interrupt reruns of Friends & The King of Queens??? @TBSInc @NBAonTNT
.@NBAonTNT gives us minutes of watching referees watch a replay instead of cutting over to the Grizz...
Great job by @nba and @NBAonTNT not having anywhere to watch the clips grizz game
@NBAonTNT how in the hell do u not have an alternate broadcast of Grizz-Clips. ESPN would. Terrible planning and execution. #nbaontntsux
Seriously, @NBAonTNT needs to use picture-in-picture for Grizz/Clippers ASAP.
@bubbaprog TNT should at least be showing Grizz Clips during commercials of the other game. Boo @NBAonTNT
If Lakers v. Spurs was getting bumped by OT on @nbaontnt instead of #Grizz v. #Clippers @nbatv would've had the opening tip.
@NBAonTNT you guys did a terrible job in airing the games today. Should've had Grizz/Clips going on TBS while the other game finished up
Dear @NBAonTNT and @NBA. On behalf of every #Grizzlies and #Clippers fan outside of Memphis/LA, this is horrible. At least stream it online!
@memphisport Is @NBAonTNT allowed contractually to rollover games when the first one runs long? It happens during the MLB playoffs on TBS.
Any local channel for Grizzlies-Clippers not in those markets are blacked out on DirecTV, as per their rules. So TNT is just terrible now.
Making an easy paycheck “@memphisport: What are Dick Stockton and @ChrisWebby doing courtside if the game isn't on @NBAonTNT? #GrizzNation”
Reaction of Grizz fans across the U.S. RT @DrewCompton82: Well...now I have to find something to break. Double OT. #grizzlies
@NBAonTNT @tbsveryfunny I'm much happier watching reruns of 'Friends' than my Grizzlies play. Can you please put the game on? #Grizznation
Clippers-Grizzlies is now at halftime. At this rate, that game may end before Bulls-Nets.
Grizzlies-Clippers: coming up never on TNT
That's cool, NBA and TNT. Just... fail to televise the entire first half of a Grizzlies playoff game. No worries.
Turner programming update: TBS now showing a 2003 episode of King of Queens. TruTV countering with something called "Impractical Jokers."
