    According to www.nba.com/rockets, the NBA has dropped the Houston Rockets game with the Philadelphia 76ers on January 15 on TBS and the Rockets meeting with the Dallas Maverick on January 31 on TNT. I am upset to hear this because I mostly see the Rockets play on national television and I would have enjoy to see them play the Mavericks and Sixers.

    With Steve Francis coming back, the Rockets would be exciting to watch and our wins would go up. Therefore, the NBA should have kept the schedule like how it was because the Rockets are improving.

    Yeah, IF Steve plays, the Rockets are an exciting team, but the Rockets clearly showed their flaws when he was out, and the NBA doesn't want to take that chance. The great teams find a way to win when their star goes down...

    I would much rather watch a Rockets game on Fox Sports SW or UPN than see them get smoked on TNT for the entire country to see...

    I wouldn't blame them if the post-Jordan Bulls* and the Wizards didn't get so much 'Air' time.

    That's okay. Our day will come. Go Rockets!

    * at least before

    Yeah me too. I would rather watch Bill and Calvin than to watch Kenny Smith, Barkley and that bald head dude tell lame ass jokes.

    By any chance were those games replaced by Wizards games?

    More than likely. The MAVS have actually had 3 games removed from the national tv schedule, and they were all replaced with Wizards games. These games were changed before the Wiz actually started winning too. That's the only drawback to having Jordan come back.

    That fricking sucks. Every single game I have seen the Rockets play on TV they sucked it up. Now that Francis is back and the team heating up, they wont even show it. Three more games for the rest of the damn season. Screw them!!!:mad: Hopefully Houston makes up for this by making the playoffs. All they have to knock out are the Sonics and the Jazz. Both are wimpy teams.
