National TV Schedule

[BigMike]

I was surfing ESPN this morning and I noticed they have filled in the TV column of the team schedules.

So far this year we are slotted for 6 nationally televised games. A nice bump from last years ZERO.
I thought the match ups were odd though.

Mon, Nov 8 San Antonio 7:00 PM NBA TV
Fri, Nov 26 Houston 7:00 PM ESPN2
Mon, Dec 27 Detroit 7:00 PM NBA TV
Sat, Feb 12 @ Atlanta 7:00 PM NBA TV
Sat, Mar 26 NY Knicks 7:00 PM NBA TV
Wed, Apr 13 Atlanta 8:00 PM ESPN2

After flipping through the other teams, I think we took all of our games right out of Torontos pocket. They only have 2 games on NBA TV and they are a pair of 3pm games vs NJN

As far as I can tell Miami is the leader with 28 games followed by the Lakers with 26....
Any surprises?

If we're counting NBA TV as nationally televised, we had multiple nationally televised games. In the regular season, we played the Trail Blazers on November 14, the Wizards on Novermber 28, the Knicks on January 7, the Suns on Jan 16 and the Bulls on April 3 on NBA TV.

But NBA TV shouldn't count because few people have it.

Also, the game against Atlanta is actually on ESPN, not ESPN2. So woo!

Another reason NBA TV shouldn't count is that FSN blocks that out too...just like they do on League Pass.

Since I pay extra for that channel it really pisses me off.

yeah no shit. I guess I am switching to direct tv, i just think if the bobcats want to gain a larger fan base they really need to get their heads out of their asses and make the games ( all of them ) accessible to everyone in the carolinas. Just pisses me off I was able to watch more games when the bobcats ran all of the games on the nc14 channel. Maybe they will learn eventually that they are alienating a big majority of their likely viewership.

Come to my town and they are like " Bobcats WHO? You mean Georgia College State Univ right? I am like NO the Bobcats, NBA team!!!

They say " Ohhh, Thought you may have been talking about Bobcat Goldwaith from Police Academy Fame"

WTF
