    Living outside of Houston and with Comcast cracking down on large downloads I haven't been able to watch the Rockets much this season. I haven't seen them listed for any national TV games so wondering if anyone here knows when they will be getting on National TV?

    I thought I read somewhere that there are 0 national games for the Rockets this regular season.

    No national tv games on the schedule as of right now.......

    Keep your eyes on the clutch fans board for links to games or consider purchasing NBA League Pass if your situation makes that possible.

    That and someone in the NBA head office really hates our city, the only way I can explain how we are often the butt monkey of the early part of the schedule so often.

    I'm willing to bet they get flexed into some games toward the end of the season if they are in the playoff picture. Or, T-Mac's return game might end up on national TV. I'm willing to bet on the former.

    We usually at least get 1 of the Lakers games nationally viewed, but this year not even that.

    Would have been nice to have that murdering of the Fakers go down in LA. :(

    we don't get any real national time until we get to the playoffs and make second round again.
