    Hmm ... remembering that it has been 3 years since the Rockets
    have hit the postseason, I suddenly also remember that the team
    has an annoying habit of putting the screws to the fans during the
    playoffs by using pay-per-view for the home games.. as galling as
    that was for the fans in the past, at least we were somewhat
    conditioned by having to pay for local cable to get the home
    games on Fox Sports during the regular season..

    But now, with every game apparently showing on free local
    broadcast, even the home games, something tells me that the
    fans will be extremely upset if we suddenly get nailed by having
    to pay for the playoffs on TV this year..

    So I guess this question is for Tim, or whoever else may know if
    this issue has been decided yet:

    What are the TV plans for the Rockets playoff games this year?

    Sorry to be a wet blanket, but it just seems like the sort of thing
    to get out there earlier than later..

    ciao

    The Rockets have to actually MAKE the playoffs before deciding whether or not to charge for playoff games
