suns are no longer getting the attention they used to have.

oh wait, will there be a season?

We'll see if there's even a season first. But I didn't think we were nearly as exciting as we used to be anyway. 9 national tv games is pretty good for, what is likely, a lottery-bound team.

be grateful for 9. after lebron left cleveland the cavs only got 1 last year lol

Pretty dumb that a team still led by Steve Nash only has 9 games on national TV. Oh well. Hopefully I have a job by then and I can afford to get the LP.

I'd be amazed if we even got 1 if we didn't have Nash. It would be an ugly, ugly beat down.

Suns are always a draw for TV. We'll never be in a position where we don't get any national TV games.

We have 13 games on national TV, not 9 (8 on ESPN, 2 on TNT and 3 on NBA TV)

sorry counted wrong, but nba tv doesnt count really.

Does it matter suns lose all the national tv games anyway.. this might be for the best.

On DirecTV I get FSAZ out here in Salt Lake City, so I don't need to order NBALP anymore, additionally, FSAZ will have all games in all-HD this year. So if it's blacked out, it'll be on a national channel that I have anyway.

not mad at the 9 games. FSNAZ has the hook up with ALL games this year so not really worried.

but my shock is.. the Knicks have 29??? i read that somewhere not sure if true.. but seriously.. 29??!?!?

Well, I disconnected my cable TV last month so the national games don't even bother me anymore, I'll be stuck streaming everything.

I'm not even surprised about the Nix either, with them being at all good we have another super-major market that's worth showing games of, which means the networks will go crazy.

Either way though I was even surprised that the work was put into making schedules and setting up network privileges with near 100% certainty that there won't be a full season.

This is what I read into it, like I think so many of you guys do too. that the suns are becoming irrelevant again and an old nash is intriguing enough to put the suns on for 9 or 10 games this next year. They can see the fall of the suns while our FO cant seem to get it or see it. its going to be interesting when Nash is done when this team gets no national exposure like the nets.

and remember that teams breakout or flameout when the season starts for real ands they often change the sked to reflect that - and there are the fan-vote games as well.

But no, bnothing like the SSOL days, is it? we were on every week it seemed, sometimes twice

We sucked last year. I am not surprised.
