Lost in Linsanity is the reality that two million New Yorkers (and a few in North Jersey) can't watch the Knick phenom play because of a dispute between Time Warner Cable and MSG Networks, which owns the Knicks and Rangers and broadcasts the Islanders, Devils and Sabres.
The dispute has gone one for nearly six weeks and Sports Business Journal reports even Jeremy Lin's heroics haven't moved the needle on negotiations. This, suggests AP, has left an opening for the Nets as they head for Brooklyn. Unfortunately, the Nets have lost six in a row while the Knicks have won five straight.
Still reports AP, "the Nets, in comparison, grow more appealing: They will move from New Jersey to Brooklyn next season, and their games air locally on the YES Network and are not affected by the MSG dispute".
