yea, I thought it was a smartass post.... they did do back to back home games 3 years ago in the preseason before their Taiwan/Philippines trip, but during the season, it's a rarity, like once every 10 years
At the moment, people are already at the edge. The moment the Rox hired on D'Antoni, half the fanbase was on suicide watch.

One thing about the Rockets' nationally televised games is that they always seem to be on the road for some reason. So I went back just now and looked to see the road/home split, and this is what I found: 2017: 5 away, 4 home 2016: 11 away, 8 home 2015: 12 away, 5 home 2014: 13 away, 8 home 2013: 6 away, 0 home So over the past 5 seasons, 47 nationally televised games were away games, and 25 were at home. So that means of the nationally televised Rockets games, only 35% of them were played at home.
Interesting point, but let's be honest. Do we really want the nation to see our half empty Toyota Center?

I get so many negative feelings thinking about that thread. Lol Bad, if not worst, time as a Rockets fan.
Lakers TV rating could be really bad this year or the year before last year but not last year. because that's Kobe's last season farewell tour.
I know its only just come out so i dont expect it to have been made yet, but does someone on here usually make a wallpaper with the schedule and players on it? I know in the past i have gotten similar wallpapers but i cant remember where i got them from. Theyre great to have as a background on my work computer
Hell if I know. They probably think Ty Lawson is still on the team and he's making a return to Denver.
Looks like the Rockets have 13 nationally televised games this year plus 9 more games on NBA TV if you count those as nationally televised. Not too bad.
