Okay I don't know if anyone has watched either of those two "recap" shows... but they ticked me off. How does the Knicks or Bucks get freaking more attention than a team that won 22 fricking games in a row. There was no Rockets on either the greatest plays or greatest games of 2007-2008. How do you not make the game 22 against the Kobes one of the top games of the year? I'm ready to send NBAtv a very stern letter.
Yeah, that is absolutely ridiculous.....they hype surrounding that game was INSANE. It was by far one of the most anticipated regular season games in recent memory, and for them not to count it as one of the best games of the season is just asinine. Just more Houston disrespect though......imagine how much MORE coverage the Lakers, Mavs, Celtics, Knicks, Heat, Suns, hell even the SPURS would have gotten if they had won 22 in a row. Instead, all we got were questions about whether we should still be considered legitimate. I'm TRULY tired of the media, and it's Coastal nut-hugging. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot any of us can do.....the media is only a product of what it's viewers want.
I found the email addresses if anyone else wants to complain... I mean the freaking Knicks were mentioned but the Rockets weren't??? nba_letters@nba.com info@nba.com fanrelations@nba.com
Didn't we win number 22 against the Lakers by a fairly large margin? The game, on its own, wasn't that great. It was the circumstance.
Yeah it was a pretty big margin, but they had a Heat game in the top games of the year... a HEAT game. I don't care how good Dwayne Wade played... his team was horrible. They could have found a way to make a Rockets game one of those in there, they just didn't care. I was just disgusted that a team that won under 20 games all season got more visibility than we did.
I am guessing you weren't around in 94 when the NBA champions got snubbed by major national sports magazine.. If you are so disgusted now, you would have jumped off the cliff then.
I probably would have staged a protest rally... where is sports illustrated made? Seriously though, what's with the disrespect? I am used to being disrespected because people hate my team (that would be UK.. thank god I didn't go to Duke they are hated even worse - and I am one of them) but not ignored!!! It's just weird... and it makes me angry that a team can make history and be brushed off like they didn't really do it.
