    And is worst here in Mexico, in ESPN Latin America they only show one game per week, sometimes they show two, and they dont show the rockets much, (in 3 months 1 time) and in the sportscenter in spanish they only show soccer, for the NBA they only show four plays of three games, and in soccer they 20 plays of 10 diferent games, i hate it. :mad:

    I only see the results in nba.com and sometimes they show sportscenter in english so i can watch a little more basketball.

    ultimately that's why i b**** about it.

    i don't have a problem with the programming. i write off what MOST of the "experts" say as mere speculation. my biggest gripe with ESPN is reporting news that hasn't happened. reporting it as fact. they do that over and over and over again. they spend all day telling you something has happened...only to spend the entire next day trying to explain why it didn't. but, like you say...there's no alternative, really. not with the breadth of coverage they have...so it's analagous to a one-newspaper city...like Houston, for example! :)

    and it's cliche to gripe about the chronicle...but i'll do that, too. richard justice, indeed! :rolleyes: :)

    Well the fu*kers at ESPN did it again. Sportscenter was on for only 30 minutes or so and all they showed was College Basketball Tournament Action and ONE NBA game.

    Was it the Rockets beating one of the NBA's best in the Suns?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    It was the damn Celtics and Pistons.:rolleyes:

    Why oh why can there not be another sports network to compete against these assmunches?

    I just saw sportscenter. They showed the Rockets. But the highlights of the game were DAMN short.
