Man I can't watch the Rockets tonight

[Thunder Dan]

the NBA didn't even put them on National TV :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:rollin:rollin:rollin

How pathetic is it that the Rockets are getting NHL treatment for being unwatchable?

[redzero]

I can't watch it tonight either, because it comes on tomorrow.

[Dex]

Spurs got the same thing for Game 3. I think Philly/Orlando has one on NBATV, as well.

Of course, they'll find a prime time spot for every Lakers, Cavs, and Celtics game.

[nkdlunch]

I'd rather watch the Rockets than the Cavs to be honest

[redzero]

The only thing that makes the Cavs watchable is LeBron, and even then, they still play ugly basketball.

[Thunder Dan]

Everyone is jealous that the Cavs and Lakers get star treatment for having the best players, and best teams.

cavs are an ugly team to watch. Besides Lebron and some highlights from Mo Williams once in a while. Nobody wants to watch big Z or Varejao or any of the other scrubs.

[nkdlunch]

philly is probably the most entertaining team to watch.

Cavs are actually at the bottom of most entertaing playoff teams along with the Spurs :lol

Funny that the Cavs bench took Philly to OT the other night.

nobody wants to watch the Hornets either, that's why they put them on at 10:30, so people can go to bed at halftime when they are already getting blown out

[jack sommerset]

Funny some Spew fans can't watch the Cavs because they are not entertaining enough.

once again rocket fan fails to see that winning and playing ugly can go hand in had.

then again, what would Rocket fan know about winning a playoff series

[gaKNOW!blee]

The Cavs are a hell of a lot more entertaining than the Rockets. The Cavs dont have that many players that I would pay to see, but atleast they have ONE. The Rockets dont have anyone with Tmac out.

They have good players yes, but no one I would want at an all star game.

You would really pay to see T-Mac? If Lebron is a Ferrari, and Kobe is a Aston Martin, T-Mac is a Ford Focus and Yao is a 1975 Dodge Dart.

Lebron is the most exciting player in the league since Michael Jordan, and is arguably an even more exciting player to watch. That alone makes the Cavs entertaining to watch. And they don't play NEARLY as ugly as they used to, and are a damn good 3pt shooting team, which gets people out of their chairs.

[Thunder Dan]

people don't want to watch Yao pump his fist and Artest fight the fans. They want to see Lebron dunk on guys and dance to Rick Astley. That is why the Cavs are on ABC and the Rockets are on their own local channels

no way. Kobe, CP3 way more entertaining that Lebron.

Cavs are boring to watch I agree. Lebron is exciting don't get me wrong. But he repeats his plays too much because he relies on his strength and speed rather than his brains and creativity. That plus the rest of the cavs being extremely boring.

[gaKNOW!blee]

You would really pay to see T-Mac? If Lebron is a Ferrari, and Kobe is a Aston Martin, T-Mac is a Ford Focus and Yao is a 1975 Dodge Dart.


In his prime and when he is feeling good yes, in fact I did like 4 years ago and he put up like 35. He was a very exciting player to watch.

[IronMexican]

Lol, Cavs on ABC on Saturday.

[gaKNOW!blee]

no way. Kobe, CP3 way more entertaining that Lebron.

Cavs are boring to watch I agree. Lebron is exciting don't get me wrong. But he repeats his plays too much because he relies on his strength and speed rather than his brains and creativity. That plus the rest of the cavs being extremely boring.

I disagree that they are way more entertaining. Lebron's in game dunks are probably the best in the league, his come from behind blocks are awesome, and in all honesty he is probably just as good a passer as CP3. He makes sideline to sideline passes with ease.

lol at you getting butthurt because I state the truth about your team. They are an ugly team to watch. The Hornets can lose by 100 points, and the Cavaliers will still play ugly basketball. It's true. I have nothing against the team, but they are not that entertaining. You know in your heart that I'm right. They play several low scoring, sloppy basketball games a year.

Now, please try to insult me by making fun of the Hornets, because you would rather resort to ad hominem than actually address what I claimed.

This thread is not about the Cavs or the Lakers. This is about the Rockets not being a big enough draw that they had to stick them in cable abyss. The main sponsors of the Rockets playoff games are the snuggie and the sun setter, while the Lakers and Cavs play on network TV. I was just pointing out that I'm upset that I will have to pay an extra $12 a month to be able to get the channel to watch those very important Rockets games.

Yea it's about a Rocket's game that doesn't even exist tonight, dumbass. :rolleyes

[Thunder Dan]

If the Rockets made it out of the first round, the Rockets would get bumped to ESPN with help from the Lakers. The Lakers being a staple of ABC would be bumped from ABC to ESPN because of the lack of audience the Rockets bring in. It's a big step for Houston to make it to ESPN.

If somehow the Rockets made it to the Finals against the Magic or 76ers, that might be the first NBA Finals no network decided to air. The Rockets in the Finals would set the NBA back 15 years, which is exactly why the NBA doesn't want to showcase their bland style of basketball this week

[hater]

newsflash cavfan: ESPN sucks

[Lars]

A few thoughts:
1.) Game is tommorow, Dan is an idiot
2.) lol 2010
3.) You got smashed when we played
4.) a Rockets/Bucks regular season game had more people watching than any game Lebron ever played in, it even outdrew the super bowl

[Thunder Dan]

LMAO, ESPN decided to run Poker reruns over the Rockets game

[Thunder Dan]

just to think that the ESPN guys turned down the Rockets game so they could run Baseball Tonight and World Series of Poker reruns makes my day. That's the funniest shit ever

Both home games for the Rockets are either on TNT or ESPN, so....

[Thunder Dan]

I feel bad for the Blazers, up until the last night of the season (When Houston shit down their leg) all of the Blazers games were on National TV, then they got paired with the Rockets and now Blazer fans everywhere will have to pay extra to get a channel, and in some cases, their cable company might not even carry it. Man, my heart goes out to Blazer fans

If lebron dunking everytime makes him the most exciting player to watch than Vince Carter got something to say about that.

[redzero]

And I'll repeat myself:

The only thing that makes the Cavs watchable is LeBron James. And even then, they still are not entertaining.

[hater]

still waiting for Dan to tell us what is so exciting about the cavs aside from James and a here and there from Mo

well you said that 40% of their starting lineup was entertaining so looks like you answered your own question. 40% is more than the Rockets can claim. Even when Artest is at his best (fighting fans) that's only 20%

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The "My team is more entertaining than your team," or "My team is less boring than your team," argument is stupid. I'm entertained by my team when they're winning. If the finals score is 3-2, I'm entertained as long as the Suns have 3.

The irony of this thread is a bit comical as well, the number of nationally televised games cleveland has EVER had before the arrival of queen Lebrick, you could count on your fingers. I guarantee you half the people never even heard of the franchise before.."Oh, thats the team the spurs swept."

[jacobdrj]

Most people I talk to seem to want to watch CP3.

Personally, I like hard nosed defense. Cavs are playing it this season. I also enjoy watching Chauncy 2.0 (Deron Williams) and Chauncy 1.5 (The less functional prototypical 'real' version). Paul Pierce and Dwayne Wade are my 2 favorite NBA players right now.

Lakers are very dynamic, they are like a better PHX Suns/DAL Mavs at their zenith.

"
Without the Lakers in the finals in 2003, the NBA the San Antonio Spurs/New Jersey Nets finals produced a ratings catastrophe. The return of the Lakers in 2004 brought the finals back to their previous early century ratings. The following two years seemed to establish a new baseline just under 13 million average viewers, a level that would have been considered terrible just 5 years earlier, but probably had David Stern breathing a sigh of relief. That didn’t last long when the NBA’s newest name star, LeBron James, and his otherwise overmatched Cleveland Cavaliers were swept away by the boringly successful San Antonio Spurs taking NBA finals ratings with them to their lowest level in the years for which we have data (1974-)."

Yes, but the NBA is trying to capture the elusive casual fan that for some reason seemed to gravitate en masse to the NBA when Dr. J, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson entered the league, and stuck around for the emergence of Jordan, and lost during the lockout (who may never come back).

It follows that teams in bigger markets will bring in bigger ratings.

A New York-LA match up would be huge. No matter what style gets played.

When Chicago was at its peak, you had all of Chicago (the 3rd biggest market) along with all of those casual fans that Nike's marketing machine brought in.

That is over with. There are too many venues to watch, and there are too many different things to watch.

The only thing that really bothered me was that teams in NJ and Miami don't draw a crowd (and therefore don't deserve a team), despite winning.

Well, they should be angry, because you are making fun of them for playing an uninteresting game, yet your team plays an equally unwatchable game with the exception being LeBron. The only reason you get ratings is LeBron, and he is only one player on your team.

[Many PackYao]

I watch Cavs games to witness Lebron throw up brick after brick, his whiny bitching over non-calls, the crab dribble and Flopperson Vagijao's stupid hair/flopping. That's quality entertainment right there. I could see why you wouldn't wanna watch the Rockets.:lol

Why the hell are by Rocket brothers being so defensive?

[DrHouse]

Lebron James is an exciting player to watch for most casual fans. Who doesn't love to see high flying dunks and crazy blocks?

But for those who are students of the game, he's not necessarily the most exciting or interesting player to watch. He excels more because of his freakish athleticism, not necessarily because he is a fundamentally sound player. His footwork is relatively poor compared to other superstar wingmen and his shot mechanics are suspect. He also has no post game whatsoever despite having a size advantage over nearly every other SF in the league.

Contrast that to Kobe and the difference is night and day. If you want to get better at basketball then watch Kobe Bryant play. Look at his footwork, his fakes, his shot mechanics.....it's as good as it gets. That's someone who has studied the game and perfected nearly every aspect of it.

Agreed.

[Roxsfan]

What a dumb fuck this op is. He didn't know the schedule and when called out on it, he continued with his nonsense like he didn't know the game is tomorrow. :rolleyes

and if you were going for laughs, you failed.

This thread isn't about Kobe Bryant, it's about ESPN picking poker reruns over the Rockets, please stay on topic or I will have to ask Kori to ban you from the discussion

This thread isn't about Rockets fans making me look like a dumbass, it's about me posting the same response over and over because I don't know what else to say.

:p:

[DeadlyDynasty]

This thread is not about the Cavs or the Lakers. This is about the Rockets not being a big enough draw that they had to stick them in cable abyss. The main sponsors of the Rockets playoff games are the snuggie and the sun setter, while the Lakers and Cavs play on network TV. I was just pointing out that I'm upset that I will have to pay an extra $12 a month to be able to get the channel to watch those very important Rockets games.

you're a hater. Lebron >>> Kobe in a basketball team.

I still like to watch Kobe better because he imitates the best, Jordan. Lebron got his own style... boring but efficient. But Lebron is way better than Kobe

[Thunder Dan]

Me not knowing when the Rockets are playing pretty much sums up their relevance on the NBA landscape. It doesn't say anything about my intelligence

You are right. I was just talking out of my ass again.

Why go for the cheap knockoff? Just put a Jordan tape and watch the real deal.

[John Basedow]

this thread brought the goods :tu

[John Basedow]

Back on topic, can anyone help me find what channel NBA TV is? I've been searching around and I've made it up to channel 200-something. I'm up in no mans land up by FIT TV,Home and Garden 2 and all the shopping channels and still can't find it. How will I be able to watch the game tomorrow?

Does anyone know if I have to call my cable company and order this NBA TV?

:rollin

[IronMexican]

I like the amount of "texas pride" spurfan in here. Got butthurt simply because TD was dishing the goods.
