If The Rockets Become Serious Contenders, Will We Get To See Them Play?

I have to believe if Dwight gets here that will push them over the edge....god I really hope so.

 

Not likely. That would require those in negotiations to remove their heads from their asses, and that isn't likely to happen.

 

I hope so. It's time this mess ended. Signing Dwight may make the Rockets push harder to get a deal done before the season starts.

I know the Rockets would be on the national stage quite a bit more, so we'd definitely see them there.

 

Of course you do, on national TV baby!! I'm sure if Dwight comes here we will get 20-30 games easily. Would be nice to get back on the big stage.

 

HOWARD, MAKE SURE TO ASK THEM TONIGHT ABOUT IT.

THANKS.

 

Seems like having Howard would strengthen the position of the Comcast Network.

That can't be good.

 

If gives more strength to CSN, so AT&T would have to cave in more so.

 

Mark Cuban: "60% of Houston and the surrounding areas can't even see you play if you go to the Rockets... That's keeping money out of your pocket. We don't have that problem In Dallas".

Great Job Les...

 

Doesn't Les have next to no say in this? I thought because he was a minority owner, he's basically at the discretion of Crane (the majority owner)? If that's the case, I doubt Crane would care if we had D12 & Lebron. He's going to do what he thinks is best for himself, and unless I'm missing something, the Rockets have pretty much nil to do with that.

 

This is a concern for sure, while we get all the games in Austin, I would bet Dwight wants his fans in Houston to see him play as well.

I have AT&T, so I doubt the idiots involved are going to get the deal done unless the young Mr. Ryan can pull off a miracle.

 

The ownership structure is such that any two of the three owners can override the other, but none can act unilaterally.

 

I doubt it. I think most people in houston just don't care.

 

I think other carriers will follow Direct TV's lead. They've been through this before and they've held out for years. Comcast doesn't have a stong position because they can't even provide service to half of Houston. And then you got all the surrounding counties that they can't provide service to as well and the 40% of the people that Comcast can reach, not all of those people will switch. And mix in the fact that the Astros are the ones holding up the deal and they suxk. How many people you think calling Direct TV about them..

 

If we get Dwight they will get the deal done

 

I don't live in the Houston area so I will get them on league pass regardless... I do not envy you guys!

 

Curious, I'm moving to Austin soon and was wondering how you view the games up there. Thanks!

 

I had comcast all last season but now i have Uverse. Regardless of Dwight, I pray a deal gets done. I dont wanna have to go to a bar to watch every game
