Man I can't watch the Rockets tonight

[Thunder Dan]

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?

[Thunder Dan]

wait, I found it. Looks like they are doing a special on Yao Ming



edit, nope- just the History channel doing a special on Communist China and the Tiananmen Square protesters

[redzero]

Oh, . I was wrong, so I shall post the same thing over again, to avoid the topic at hand.

fix'd

[Double-Up]

I think you can chalk up another one for TD. He got all rocketfans defensive again.

Normal people don't have all day to play mind games on the internet, this fool needs to get a hobby or a job because he definantly ain't getting no pussy.

Somebody let me know when the cavs become interesting

[Indazone]

Not sure why you're dissing China anyways since the Cavs have a huge stake owned by China anyways

Why the 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 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.

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

All but one game in the series is on espn or tnt......you fail YET AGAIN

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.

don't forget the slap-chop, shamwow, and oxyclean

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

Great post, 100% accurate.

Yeah, like Cleveland is the first thing on people's minds when they wake up.....pretty relevant

I know, that is why they put the #1 team on national tv whenever possible

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