Whoever made up the schedule did not anticipate Lin on the Rockets. Linsanity is going to take a nose dive. His exposure is going WAY down.

[maxhornets]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Hornets only have 2 as well. You would think the team with the number one pick would get at least 10?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Why do the scrub Knicks have 32. Especially without Lin.:mad:
Net's have 18. That's a huge disparity between them.

Not necessarily. ESPN/TNT/ABC/NBA isn't going to reserve a National screening for an unproven player/roster.

I am shocked that the Pacers don't play on Christmas day. I don't think they even have many National games. This is the same team that took the champions to 6 games!

The Knicks are better than the Nets. You are in for a world of disappointment this season.

Just checked again the hornets have 7... Not bad

So you claim.
I won't be.
Nets rock.
You suck.
Conclusion:
Nets>Knicks

[LamarOdom]

Miami?

[LamarOdom]

:facepalm Clippers only have like 16 when they had the 5th most last year. Knicks have double the Clippers :roll: .

What are you laughing about? Knicks is Knicks they will always get national televised game since they have most people watching, it's a no brainer.

[It's A VC3!!!]

It's absurd that the Bulls have so many. They are going to suck a ball sack and not even make the playoffs. Until Rose comes back that is.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Yes, ABC is a national broadcast.

[Clippersfan86]

Wow I was way off. Thanks for updating Bagel. I missed the ABC games early in season because I wasn't counting them as nationally televised.

30 for Clips. That is impressive.

[L.Kizzle]

The Knicks had 31 expecting Jeremy Lin to be there, lol.

How many Rocket games get added to the schedule?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Well according to Bagel count, the Clippesr have the third most national televised games at 30. That's more then the Lakers.

[Clippersfan86]

30 for Clips. That is impressive.

I love Ralph Lawler but it's nice to be able to hear neutral broadcasters decently often :cheers: . Their reactions to things are more raw. Except when Jon Barry is doing it.. he's a hardcore Clippers hater and a complete asshole like his father. Not sure how his brother turned out to be such a nice guy.

[LamarOdom]

CLIPPER MORE THAN LAKERS?:biggums:

[bagelred]

I think they give Heat/Lakers slightly less because those 2 teams always win "Tuesday Night Fan Night". So those 2 teams will rise to the top over Knicks in the end.

[chips93]

cavs only have one national game, against the bulls :mad:

It's a star filled team now in a big market. That sells.

That sucks man...

[bagelred]

cavs only have one national game, against the bulls :mad:

you forgot NBATV games. It's 4 total. The one game you are talking about is ESPN.

[fsvr54]

Not a single Hawk game?

:biggums:

[Clippersfan86]

It's a star filled team now in a big market. That sells.

For sure. Not surprised.. just happy they are finally getting attention after so long in the cellar.

[AK47DR91]

ESPN/ABC NBA games....for those broke ass mofo's like myself. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/television

[Clippersfan86]

Not a single Hawk game?

:biggums:

:roll:

[FreezingTsmoove]

dont forget fan night tuesdays

goddamn fan night tuesdays everyone is gonna vote for damn lin instead of better matchups

but theres always east matchups

[L.Kizzle]

Not a single Hawk game?

:biggums:
Damn, losing Joe Johnson takes you from 4 a year to zero, lol.

[General]

cavs only have one national game, against the bulls :mad:
Maybe if Cavs give up some young talent for Bynum they'd get more:confusedshrug:

[bagelred]

OMG check out the Magic :roll: Blacklisted. :oldlol:

[chips93]

Maybe if Cavs give up some young talent for Bynum they'd get more:confusedshrug:


hope so

on both counts

[FireDavidKahn]

CLIPPER MORE THAN LAKERS?:biggums:
It's a sign the world is coming to an end. The Mayan's were right.

[kurple]

where is gsw? i'm sure some other teams are missing aswell..

[bagelred]

where is gsw? i'm sure some other teams are missing aswell..

Done.

The schedule maker REALLY f-cked up with the Rockets. They assumed Lin would be on the Knicks. No one is ever going to see Lin anymore.

[jbryan1984]

Cavs actually have 2 games on ESPN. Bulls and Lakers. Pretty sure that's what I read.

[kurple]

no idea if it's nat televised, but i'm really looking forward to march 13th.. Melo back in Denver

last years game was epic

[tmacattack33]

F the Knicks. Just F em.

This gives you more reason to not like them. They are actively worsening your NBA TV schedule.

No, Melo is not going to have an epiphany next year and all of a sudden become a good defender and facilitator. Not happening. This team aint going no where and all they'll be doing next year is eating up national tv time while we all wonder what the Heat and Lakers are doing on those nights.

[B-Easy8]

Raptors deserve a lot more than 2.

[Fiasco]

Clippers :bowdown:

[UtahJazzFan88]

I don't really consider NBATV to be "nationally televised" considering they use local broadcasts and not as many people watch.

[Droid101]

CLIPPER MORE THAN LAKERS?:biggums:
Came to say this, leaving confused and frustrated.

Lakers get more revenue from their local TV contract, I'm guessing.

Clippers don't even have a local TV broadcast anymore. They used to be on channel 5 (local) but got dumped. Now their away games are on Fox Sports 2.

[TylerOO]

****ig Jon Barry is the worst, he hates the clips and heat. He won't take Derrick roses dick out his mouth either

[TylerOO]

Why are people angry about clips having more games than the lakers? Clippers are more exciting. PERIOD

[RaininTwos]

Raptors deserve a lot more than 2.
Yeah, they do. Bargs is going to kill this year.:pimp:

[IamSofaKing]

You would think they would give Canada's only team more games?

[RaininTwos]

You would think they would give Canada's only team more games?
I dont think they count CBC's games though.

[niko]

F the Knicks. Just F em.

Every Heat and Laker game is on too. :lol Moron. You had a point if you said basically any other team, but you picked the other two teams on 30 times.

[stallionaire]

Boggles my mind the Knicks get so much TV air. The Grizzlies are a better team and I'd rather see them 32 times a season.

[stallionaire]

Raptors deserve a lot more than 2.

Timberwolves had 2 nationally televised games last season and we were exciting to watch til March.

Now we got 13. once raptors improve they will see a jump in games.

[ShawnieMac06]

It's absurd that the Bulls have so many. They are going to suck a ball sack and not even make the playoffs. Until Rose comes back that is.

Let's not forget those 15 additional games they have each year on WGN America; that number of games jumps to 41.

[stallionaire]

Let's not forget those 15 additional games they have each year on WGN America; that number of games jumps to 41.

Isn't WGN America local to the Illinois area? I don't get that channel.

[wagexslave]

Jazz = 15

Suns = 6

lolwut? a lot of people are excited and interested to see this weird young new Suns lineup... who's excited to see the Jazz?(no offense Jazz fans)

+ the Suns are going to be reviving the GOAT NBA Jerseys this season as throwbacks:

http://sports-kings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/charles-barkley.jpg

:bowdown: They should get more nationally televized games to show off that sexiness-in-jersey-form :cheers:

[ShawnieMac06]

Isn't WGN America local to the Illinois area? I don't get that channel.

There's two versions of WGN: the local one on Channel 9 in Chicago, the other is the one (WGN America) the rest of the country gets outside of the Chicago area. The local WGN usually carries more games than the national version, because the NBA limited the amount of games that WGN-A could carry outside of Chicago.

[Nevaeh]

Isn't WGN America local to the Illinois area? I don't get that channel.

Exactly. Thread Title is "Nationally" televised games.

[talkingconch]

Aren't the Lakers starting their own cable television channel?

[Vienceslav]

Yeah, they do. Bargs is going to kill this year.:pimp:
No doubt about that ,but it

[DaSeba5]

Wow I didn't realize the Heat would get so many nationally televised games. :lol

*sarcasm*

[mrbigshot1]

Pistons never get love.

[Poolthief]

Timberwolves had 2 nationally televised games last season and we were exciting to watch til March.

Now we got 13. once raptors improve they will see a jump in games.

Both those Raps games are on NBATV so they don't even count. I can't recall them ever playing on TNT during the regular season (possibly during Vince's peak vs Suns when he scored 51?). IIRC they've only been on ABC/ESPN twice in the last 9 years (Bosh being here for 7 of those).

[bagelred]

Aren't the Lakers starting their own cable television channel?

And? Who gets that channel?

[stallionaire]

There's two versions of WGN: the local one on Channel 9 in Chicago, the other is the one (WGN America) the rest of the country gets outside of the Chicago area. The local WGN usually carries more games than the national version, because the NBA limited the amount of games that WGN-A could carry outside of Chicago.

Nationally televised means - ABC, ESPN, or TNT.

If i count Fox Sports North in there, that'd mean the Timberwolves have 80 televised games this year that I have access to.

[cavsfanatic]

Cavs getting 4 games is a screw job.

[ripthekik]

who the f wants to watch all the knicks game.. i think they have so many because of lin. but he's gone and now what? what melo iso and jack up shots 30 times per game? :facepalm

[June1026]

This is a schedule that has already been made pre-lin trade, Knicks fans are delusional if they think they can get even 20 games after the schedule is revised.

I know what "nationally televised" means, idiot...christ al-****in-mighty!

Just because you don't get WGN America in your area doesn't mean it's not "nationally-televised". Basically my point was to point out that the Bulls have a guaranteed national outlet (whether you receive it in your area or not) to air their games regardless of ABC, TNT, or ESPN.

This board is full of ****in' simpletons!

[bagelred]

Just because you don't get WGN America in your area doesn't mean it's not "nationally-televised".

:biggums: Um....yeah....no one considers some WGN channel which very few people get "nationally televised".

[jl1718]

WGN is on directv's basic package. So yeah it's a national channel. Last time I had cable it was also part of the base package.

[bluechox2]

Never heard of wgn

Just cus your local cable carries it doesn't make it national

[Wally450]

I consider nationally televised to be ABC, TNT, ESPN, and NBA TV

[EnoughSaid]

What's awesome is that I have the Cavs on FSOHIO so I can just watch Kyrie all day. :bowdown:

[Droid101]

Um, perhaps you've never seen this guy play:

[ncrizzle]

As long as I can see every game that i dont go to, i have no problem with it being on Fox Sports compared to ESPN or ABC. I prefer the TV crew i am familiar with anyway
