    If Lin alone is a confirmed add to the team, I say we get 2 national television games, one vs. NYK and one vs. LAL/DAL/SAS. If Howard is added with Lin, I predict 9 games on nat'l television (vs. NYK, LAL, SAS, OKC, PHX, CHI, MIA, NJN, DAL). If Bynum is added with Lin, I predict 5 games on nat'l television(LAL, NYK, SAS, PHX, DAL).

    Oh my God, this better not happen. At least not against real team, because Lin will be embarrassed big time like he was last season.

    I think there's a limit on how many each team is allowed.

    But my guess is that Houston will max out.

    What will most likely happen is they will show mostly games that also feature the Rockets playing other teams that are popular, just in case. games like Rockets VS Bobcats or Kings won't be shown but VS Lakers or Spurs or Heat (etc.) will be.

    That way, should Lin's popularity turn out to be nothing but a passing fad, the networks won't be "stuck".

    Personally, I think most of the hype was because he was in New York.

    Dragic, Lowry, and Brooks had similar runs of good play and got zero hype.

    Dragic, Lowry and Brooks weren't hyped like Linsanity was. It's been a long time sense the league has hyped up someone this much that wasn't a high profiled player.

    games against NY

    so maybe like 3 or 4 games?

    if we get Dwight that would increase.

    Lin's return to MSG should have the attention of alot of people. 1 game that will definitely be televised.
