The network games are boring. Its always the same teams playing each other. The only time I watch it now is when the playoff starts.
Which ones? I've got 3 that are during breaks Nov. 29 - Thunder (Thanksgiving Break) Dec. 29- Heat (Winter Break) Mar. 27 - Boston (Spring Break)
Oct Sat 30 *vs Denver * Dec.*Fri 31 *vs Toronto * Jan.*Sat 22 *vs Orlando * Feb.*Sat 12 *vs Dallas * MarcH Sat 12 *vs San Antonio *
Well, when we don't make the Playoffs, that's what happened. Had Yao played last year and making Playoffs, i have no doubt we'll be getting the same amount of national TV as the Spurs. But with that said, 11 national tv include NBAtv ain't bad. Lakers have 19 right.
heat have 29, celtics have 23, lakers have 22. the max is 34 and the NBA expects those 3 to reach those w/ the NBATV fan nights inlcuded. the reason we don't get more national TV appearances is b/c we don't have a star that the general public wants to watch, unless yao returns to full health and that's a big if. blake griffin is still an unknown and was a college star so the clips are getting some love. tyreke is a budding all-star and he's the rookie of the year. it's about STARS. you want national TV appearances, get some stars. and that was why morey tried to get bosh. morey knows getting stars not only get more natioinal TV appearances, maybe the toyota center can be freakin' sold out more often than not.
Hopefully the Rockets play well enough so that the league and networks take notice. I used to not care about national TV games living in Houston but since I am in college now it sucks having to watch blurry streams online.
The Heat get 29 Nat TV games? I included NBA TV in those numbers cause everyone can watch those, but dang!! I knew they'd be in the spot light, but 29?? Really... talk about being on their sack!!!
I dont care too much for the national tv games either... I live in San Diego and all i get out here is Lakers BB on fox sports west. I invest my $182 every year to watch the Rockets play. its worth it to me cause even if i miss a game i can stream it later or watch it live while in class! lol! gotta love wifi on college campus!
Meh, stop b****ing about national TV. If the Rockets are deserving, they'll get at least 16 national TV games beginning in mid-April.
Okay... so who's coming to the Indiana game with me on Mar 5th! It's a Saturday game! Whooo hooo! Where's the Midwest Rockets fan group?? Edit.. dang it.. that's Pacers at Rockets... now I have to search the schedule again\ Edit 2 - Nov 12th... not bad! A Friday I can deal with.... again, who's with me??
Back to Back Games : Lakers 13 Spurs 15 Heat 16 Magic 17 Mavs 19 Celtics 19 Jazz 20 ROCKETS 21 IMO If Yao stays healthy and so does rest of the team I see the rockets with a 48-34 record. I hope that's enough to get into the playoffs.
I will start assembling it again this year. Last season was tough as I was wrapping up my dissertation. It looks like Indiana, Chicago, and Milwaukee are good days. Detroit and Cleveland are not so good because they fall in the middle of the week. If anyone is interested in those three days please send me an email.
It looks like the final month or so we have a good schedule, it should be a great opportunity to let the guys rest up their legs before the playoffs.
