Okay this really really makes me angry. link I only get to see so many Rockets games during the year and they are taking yet another one away from me.
poo... clutch can you change the thread title so it says "Sunday Mar 11th" I mistakenly forgot to add the date
Probably the heat but that is annoying we get one game picked up on espn and one dropped on abc, do we have any abc games this year? personally i prefer bill/matt/clyde over all the national announcers on espn and abc (cept JB is funny) but its the HD that i really like. I've only gotten two rocket games in HD through league pass and they were the two games against minnesota.
I just looked at the schedule and the only game scheduled for the same slot is the Nuggets at Kings game. We were bumped for two teams with a losing record??
Its cause the Magic are losing now. National TV is all about popularity. You guys shouldn't be complaining about how many games we get.(But yeah they shouldn't of dropped this one) If you noticed we missed the playoffs last year and had a horrible record yet we have a decent amount of games for a team that missed the playoffs. We should be thankful ESPN/TNT knows that we were going to be good.
yes but for those that don't have cable or ESPN losing a regular channel game is a big deal. Here's the link to the page where you can send your complaint. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?page=contact/espntv
BTW they dropped us for Suns/Lakers. Its just going to be an old fashioned ass whooping by the Suns .
f%$# those $%cking executives in charge of scheduling the games. Who are they gonna put, the LAKERS??? F*&* them too This makes me so mad. The 5TH BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE!!!! and we still cant get any recognition. If i were the rockets i would take this personally.
thats a bunch of crap.... oh well, people wanted the suite for the Jazz game anyway, SCREW DISNEY!!! btw, do we have ANY game on ABC? Screw them, they going to HAVE TO show us when his the FINALS BABY!!!
if they drop us, i hope they pick up another game (like say the utah-rox game on sunday on 4/1 ) but it's b/c orlando sucks. we're gonna get picked up for some games by ESPN/ABC later on b/c tracy's back. he's playing like a superstar again. i remember when tmac was w/ the magic, they were average and yet they were on TV relatively a lot. TMAC's popular. but orlando is BORING. plus, suns-lakers is a better matchup. they have a superstar on both sides. orlando has no superstar. dwight howard is not a superstar yet.
Not living in Houston and not having cable it really annoys me about the lack of coverage that the Rox get on ABC. Practically every week it seems like its Cavs, Lakers or Heat. Shaq / Kobe is old, Lebron is great but the league is more than him. You would figure with a good record and having Yao and T-Mac the Rox would get more nationally televised games. If we don't get any ABC games when Yao comes back i'm gonna be pissed.
I understand completely. last year i had no cable or anything so i just had abc and whatever local games i could get vs the lakers or clippers. i think i saw maybe 8 games last year live (including the ones i went to in la) luckily for me i wasnt able to experience the brutalness of last season as bad but i did end up seeing all the games via R2K but its hard to get into a game when you already know whats going to happen. if i didnt have league pass or cable i would be really upset if a abc game was dropped. in my case i would have been able to have seen 4 rocket games so far if i didnt have cable in la. i left a complaint good link
