They could have at least cut to the Houston game during time outs. They chose to go triple overtime with their advertising instead of showing any of the *entire first half* of the Rockets game. Fcku TNT and their Celtic sack-riding.
This Boston/Chicago series may end up being one the three best playoff series in NBA history. The Rockets were up 3-1 at home. I'm not mad at the decision.
dude calm down, the boston-bulls fans wanna watch that game as well? dont be so selfish just blame the bulls for not finishing
Nothing new here. If Kenny wasn't there, we'd be reduced to a three-word notices rolling along the ticker at the bottom of the screen.
TNT can't figure out a way to cover two games at once? BS. They were just grabbing dollars by showing endless advertisements. Fine: show the "epic game" and cut to the other game during timeouts, or use picture-in-picture.
TNT is a national tv network whose purpose is to cater for national audience. If I am neither a Rox or Blazer fan, I would like to watch Boston-Chicago hit-and-run dogfight rather than old school Houston-Portland showdown. Dude, 3 overtime, where amazing happens!
If that Bulls/Celtics game wasn't so amazing I would complain. I knew the Rockets were going to win tonight anyway.
it's amazing that so many people can proceed to miss such an obvious and restated point...... no.. not really.. not at Clutchfans..
I'm not sure the emails are enough to really do anything other then vent your disapproval. Do you really think cutting the middle of King of Queens on TBS to show a Rockets game nationally is a cost effective move. What about advertisers and sponsors and commitments? ESPN can do it because all of their networks are sports networks. The Turner family has TNT, but even so, it's part time...and TBS's part time sports is MLB baseball. TBS doesn't pull a basketball audience and so the few of us Rockets and Blazers fans outside of Houston and Portland aren't really enough to change TBS programming.
TNT has showed games on TBS in past seasons, it's called decency. Thankfully I had the local broadcasts and was able to watch the Celtics/Bulls on my DVR during timeouts, but with the local broadcasts ending, this now matters for even hometown fans.
I agree, any longer and this game could have been debated as one of the best in history. And Chicago+Boston are bigger media markets than Houston. That being said, I still would have rather watched the Rockets.
