Rockets have 0 national tv games

Less motivation for McGrady!

 

In Yao and Tmac's first season together we had almost over 15 nationally televised games. Oh, how we have fallen.

 

T'Wolves?

Wow. You can't be serious.

They are seriously telling us that a Lakers vs. Rockets, Celtics vs. Rockets, Cavaliers vs. Rockets game wouldn't be fun to watch?

 

why so surprised? no houston team ever gets any love from the media!

 

no we get plenty of love and airtime when tmac/yao were healthy

no yao, no tmac, and off course, no ron artest

this is to be expected that we don't get any national tv games.. it's just like the 90s again.

 

Well this is part of the reason too... ABC is only airing 15 NBA games all season.

I wasn't expecting many, but I expected atleast a Rockets Vs Lakers rematch nationally televised. I mean, for one, it is the Lakers and they have like 90% of there season nationally televised. For two, the Rockets and Lakers basically traded Artest for Ariza.

 

Still, I can't believe that TNT, ESPN, and ABC are all refusing to air at least one Rockets game.

 

**** them. when we show up and beast on everyone they'll wish they put us on national tv. But we're the only ones who can see them. so ha.. ha.ha.haha

 

Well that's good... now my LP will be useful for the Rockets more than it used to be... Thanks NBA!!

 

direct from the brains of ESPN:
Sure, they might have pushed the eventual-champion Lakers to seven games in the conference semifinals, but with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady on the mend and Ron Artest's having flown the coop, the Rockets now apparently have no national appeal at all. None. Their total number of national television appearances on ABC/ESPN and Turner Sports: zero.

Also getting the Rockets treatment (no nationally televised games, unless you include NBA TV) are a few teams you probably wouldn't want to watch anyway: New Jersey, Sacramento, Milwaukee and Charlotte.

watching nba games just became that much harder for a non-usa-resident fan

 

F*** national TV we don't need it

 

Does League Pass guarantee all of the Rockets' games?

I looked in to it, and it offers 40 games/week, but I want to know if I'll be able to watch all of the Houston games...

 

I am wondering how many rockets games will be shown on chinese national tv? Maybe 0 as well!

 

as long as we (Houston) can watch the games, why should we care about national televised games?

 

league pass gives you every single NBA game there is

so yes you will be able to watch every rockets game with league pass

 

now this is very very important for me! I live in India and rely on Chinese feeds (sopcast) for watching rockets games.

 

national TV doesn't show H-Town love to any Houston sport

 

You got to be kidding me. Not even one? That's ridicilous.

Ok, we will not have Yao but give us some RESPECT.

Hopefully LP will be available in Poland this year

 

The western media is beyond the gates of hell to begin with, and now with no "stars" we're left out in the dark. It's like flipping the bird to us and all the fans abroad.
