wow f stern i am so pissed. ZERO GAMES??? i hate the NBA so much i'm going to have to pony up like $150 for league pass this year now.
I totally agree. Even when we were healthy, the Rockets still did not get as many national TV games as the other top tier teams. The Rockets have never received any respect so 0 national TV games does not suprise me one bit.
I can't believe the NBA believes we are the same caliber of New Jersey, Sacramento, Milwaukee and Charlotte.
Well, now the newer fans know how the Rockets of the 90s felt. Except we had a superstar and had little national tv. now people will understand how much media attention affects people's opinion's on players. so when people don't see a Otis Thorpe, Kenny Smith play, they won't see an Aaron Brooks or Luis Scola play, they'll make assumptions based on the lack of air time. Never mind that OT made the allstar team. Nobody outside Houston will see Scola play even if he makes the all star team. Oh.. Hakeem had nobody on his team. Oh.. why watch the Rockets if there's no Tmac or Yao.. Same thing.
We get 0 national tv games but its front page, national news headlines every time Tmac and Yao have medical concerns. They do not care about the Rockets unless its health and injury related, where they will blast those headlines on their front page.
What if China causes a huge revolt, and invades, and ....... ahhh leave it, guess we'll have to bank off of T-mac, and Yao coming back strong at the end of the season causing the miraculous turnaround, it will be extra sweeet that way -
oh and its a damn shame that OKC Thunder also just have 1 game. they need to get Durant, Westbrook, Green and now Harden some love
Why? We are. All possible soap opera's aside (possibile late season comebacks of T-mac/Achey Breaky Yao,) we have NOTHING. More power to 'em, & I wish us well. Just being real.
Yep this is flatout disrespect. Rockets have won 50 games 3 years in a row. Made the Playoffs 4 out of the last 5 seasons. What has Minnesota done lately?
Yeah. but considering the fact that he is most prob out for the entire season. I dont know what the chinese have decided. terrible news .. esp for me
& it's ALL about being a what you done for me lately league. Lately, we've lost our only three all-star-type players in less than 6 months. NO TV
We should have kept the Yao news under wraps until after the National TV schedule is released. Say Yao is 100% and so is T-Mac. Then drop the bomb shell after we get 19 national TV games.
