The Goods Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Note: No games on NBA TV were included in my counts. NBA TV isn't available in nearly as many households as the other ubiquitous networks, and NBA TV is doing the ol' "Fan Night" again, where viewers pick the games on Tuesdays. Here's the rundown: Cleveland, 25Boston, 24Orlando, 24L.A. Lakers, 24Denver, 21San Antonio, 20Phoenix, 18Portland, 17Miami, 15Utah, 13Chicago, 13Dallas, 13New Orleans, 9L.A. Clippers, 8Golden State, 8Washington, 8Atlanta, 6New York, 5Detroit, 4Philadelphia, 2Minnesota, 1Oklahoma City, 1Toronto, 1Memphis, 1Indiana, 1Houston, 0Sacramento, 0Charlotte, 0Milwaukee, 0New Jersey, 0 Yep, the Pacers, Grizzlies and Timberwolves all got a game ... but the Rockets didn't. I understand that this Yao Ming dude is important and injured, I realize Tracy McGrady will be on the shelf for a while. But Shane Battier! Trevor Ariza! Luis Scola! Get them on TV! And yes, you're reading that correctly: the Clippers (19-63 record last season) and Wizards (ditto) each have eight nationally televised games this year. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/08/04/cavs-earn-most-national-tv-appearances/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goods Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 How does Phoenix have 18? what the hell? Run and Gun offense perhaps, no more Shaq, so they can run as much as they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Toronto has ONLY ONE? They are the only international team and draw in a huge following. Also Turkoglu/Bosh can make the playoffs. How Houston has no games on ESPN is beyond me. They will finish over .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Toronto has ONLY ONE? They are the only international team and draw in a huge following. Also Turkoglu/Bosh can make the playoffs.They barely ever have games on national tv. Sucks because they are a talented team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 One game? Honestly how is this damn team/city ever going to get any respect -_- whatever I just like when they get on national TV because the players definitely get up for it.

magicbalala245 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yep, the Pacers, Grizzlies and Timberwolves all got a game How did these teams get games on National TV. Seriously only team I would watch from the list are the Pacers solely cause of Danny Granger. But no way these teams should get a game on National TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 8 games, not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 How did these teams get games on National TV. Seriously only team I would watch from the list are the Pacers solely cause of Danny Granger. But no way these teams should get a game on National TV I think the Grizzlies always get a Martin Luther King Day Game on TNT. I too am disappointed that Houston didn't get a game, but casual fans want offense and star power. Also a shame Charlotte didn't get a National TV game. Though if I were commish, I'd mandate at least one national TV game for every team in the league. Even the Kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 FMLLol you're bummed about 9 appearances? Just be thankful you're not a Rockets fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Shaq Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Rockets hit rock bottom. Thank god for all of the Cavs games because I won't be in Ohio for college and we'll need these to watch their games since I won't have my FSN.
