    Yes sir!

    Are NBA TV games considered "nationally" televised?

    I forgot we got Reed Sheppard. It's gonna be 82 games plus all the playoff games and an invitation to the white house.

    Edit. With Doris Burke bias giving a hawk tuah after every Reed shot.

    That's better than the previous three seasons at least.

    Until the team gets playoff exposure, they aren't getting many. So hopefully this is the last season where it's this few.

    3 it is, at Sac Town, Memphis and at home vs. Spurs. Cool I guess. When counting NBA TV, it's still only 2 home games. Ehh.

    Kinda I guess. It reaches a national audience of NBA TV subscribers but offers no added entertainment factor as it's the same local team presentation instead a national TV crew talking about the team.

    There is a different "aura" with tnt games and even ESPN games even though they are relatively bad at their presentation and NBA personalities they hire to cover the games.

    you know that when the Sengun-led Rockets are something like 47-3 or even 49-1, we'll be picking up a few more national broadcasts on the "real" networks

    Hahahah gotta love the fake news, since NBA TV is not worthy to be called national. But I will take the "recognition" lol.

    Btw that schedule is very solid, finally a nice start to our season at home and relatively easy.

    They are nationally televised in the sense that anyone with a NBA TV package can watch the game but it's the same local broadcast team that covers the game. It's just the local broadcast being televised on NBA TV.

    Exactly. They used to do their own broadcasts do, don't remember exactly when but it was a few years and then went (back) to local broadcasts. The actual game analysis is easily the best of the "national" ones though.
