As Shlomo Sprung, writing for Forbes, notes, “Yankees” is part of the YES name, as in the “Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network.” And so, whenever there’s a conflict between the Yankees and Nets, guess who wins out?
And now, with the YES Network’s top teams all playing in the summer (none with fans), there are conflicts on the horizon. As Sprung writes...
The Yankees and Nets both have games on Aug. 5 and 7 at the same time. On the 5th, the Yankees have a 7:05 game in Baltimore against the Orioles and the Nets have a seeding game in Orlando against the Boston Celtics at 9.
