    Thats pretty awesome, especially when you consider the fact that it does not include the games on NBC. I was going to be really pissed if we didnt get a lot more TV slots because we certainly did deserve it, since we played some really good ball last year.

    Funny how the defending champion Lakers have 19 nationally televised games, and Vince Carter's Raptors have 24. Eastern Conf. champion 76ers have 22. The Lakers deserve it, they were on TV way too much these past several seasons. Although they will still be on frequently, I am happy to be able to watch some other teams play, especially the Rocks. I'm glad though, the Raptors are one of the most exciting teams to watch, and Vince Carter is electrifying.

    Thanks for the information. This is great news for displaced fans like myself. I'm in the DC area and if I remember correctly, my total number of opportunities to watch the boys from my apartment (basic cable) last season was ONE. One freakin game.

    Since I now have digital cable, I was thinking of getting the NBA subscription that would allow me see all the games. Anyone know how much Comcast charges for that? I'll probably have sell my car.

    Yeah, Viper, these are the Rockets' ten toughest games next year. I hope that TNT/TBS don't pull the plug on the Rockets for multiple appearances in 2002-03 if they don't have a decent record in those games.

    Where is a Central Division team when you need one?

    That is awesome. I live in Missouri and obviously cant see many games. I am busy alot during the season so League Pass isn't really worth the money for me. This is good news!

    Why are all of the games with the same four teams?

    Sacramento games are the only ones I regularly get to see locally, and Turner picks them to show against the ROX 3 times. [​IMG]

    Maybe they want us to embaress ourselves, but I doubt it. The boys will bring their A+ games to national TV. Not to mention us getting better.

    Only one thing to say about these ten games.

    FFRRRAAAAANNNNNTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSTTTTTIIIIIICCCCC!!!!!
