Afternoon? Ugh. If I'm correct, which I very well may not be, Toronto plays a fair amount of afternoon games every year, whereas we only play a couple. I'd say advantage Raps in that department.

Also, lol @ 3 of the games being confirmed for NBATV, with games 6 and 7 not determined yet. I bet if we go that far at least one more will be NBATV. NO RESPECT.

Are the 3 NBATV games going to also be on SunSports?!?!

I bet if we were playing Philly, we wouldn't have 3 games on NBATV. :nonono:

I would assume they would, so I wouldn't yet fret about not being able to see them if you don't have NBATV (Which you should, but that's another discussion for another day).

But I just think it's funny that they're shoveling us over to NBATV that often.

Yeah i guess they wont put a blowout 4 game sweep on national TV....

Post #11 » by **MagicMadness** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 6:22 am

I would think part of the reason is because we're playing Toronto. They rarely, if ever, get nationally televised games in the States.

Why should we be punished? They're the ones that suck.*

*Ratings-wise. Obviously, because they're an out-of-country team.

We can beat them at any time of the day on any tv channel. None of that matters. Heck, we can beat them on the radio yo!

I know you're being sarcastic with that, but seriously - freakin Toronto.

It's not their fault, because they happen to be an out-of-country team...but still, damn. :-?

As long as those 3 games are on SunSports, I'm fine. If not - then that's just ****ing great.

Post #17 » by **SOUL** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 7:45 am

We have 2 more NBATV games than ALL OF THE OTHER SERIES!

If I was still in Orlando I'd be okay with it.. if I had NBATV I'd be okay with it.. but I dont have either

Post #18 » by **MagicMadness** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 7:50 am

Yep, true. This REALLY sucks for those who follow the team out of town.

I don't think it's fair to "punish" a team's fans for playing a Canadian team in the playoffs. The NBA was the one that expanded - plan on dealing with a ratings hit if you're going to do so.

May I ask how you were watching games during the regular season? Is there anyway you can subscribe to NBA TV? And although posting streams aren't allowed on here anymore, I'm sure you'll be able to find out how to watch the games online.

And now you guys know how we feel, it sucks that the major networks hate us with a passion. From a pure entertainment aspect, the Magic/Raptors series will probably kill at least 2 of the other 3 East match-ups, but it doesn't matter, it's all about ratings.

It must be the Magic, because Last Year Toronto was only on NBATV for 1 game (Game 2) the rest was were ESPN (1 & 6), EPSN2 (Game 3) and TNT (Game 4 & 5).

I guess Raptors vs Nets was more exciting than Raps vs Magic go figure maybe it had to do w/ VC. If Magic don't have excitement it's not Toronto Raptors fault.
