ESPN or TNT at the very least. So many storylines its hard to see those games ending up on NBATV Last year the only series I remember being on NBATV was the Orl/Ind series. Every other one was broadcasted primarily on national tv. NBATV will probably get Ind vs. Chi(unless Rose comes back) or Atlanta, and Denver vs. Golden State. If the Rockets win on Wednesday and play the Spurs, that series could slip to NBATV.
We're not playing on ABC this weekend. We're not playing the Lakers or Heat. There is only two games on ABC this weekend, one on Saturday and Sunday. It's going to be the Lakers at whoever they play, and Milwaukee at Miami. If the Rockets play Memphis or San Antonio, hello NBATV.
I heard on 790 yesterday that the Rockets organization is going to issue a written request to the NBA to allow NBA TV to coincide with CSN so that the games could be available for locals in Houston. The request would stress on the fact that all season we have been unfairly neglected of our home team viewing abilities and that unless the NBA feels our team isnt worthy of the exposure, there should be no reason for them to deny the request. I dont have a link or source for this but this is what I heard and I hope to God it is true.
