I know a lot of people will complain we don't have enough national TV games, but I'd rather see this team prove itself a consistent winner before that happens. Plus, we play our worst in national TV games historically since the team is super young and it gets in their heads. And one more final point, I'd take an EC/Dell/Ashley broadcast 10/10 times over any of the national broadcasts which half of the time just sound like casuals.

Lots of home back to backs and longer homestands. Maybe good for their fatigue levels. I have season tickets but upgraded a bit for the T Wolves today at the presale. Lower level for a change....

We're barely an NBA organization, we need to make the jump from junior varsity to varsity before we start complaining about not being on national television.

The Hornets can have plenty of national TV exposure. Gotta make the playoffs for it to happen, though. So, yeah.

I preferred Eric/Dell/Ashley to every national broadcast crew anyway, so I'm never bothered by lack of ESPN/TNT games. Inside the NBA is a superior halftime, but they'd just spend 15 minutes dumping on us anyway so no great loss there either.

Speaking of which, do we have any news about next season's broadcast team? Are the old crew coming back even after Bally collapsed or will it be a totally new group?

Not sure if most of the users are just young, but there was a time Charlotte was on Nat'l tv a lot.

Those Mashburn/Davis led teams from the early 2000's was on Nat'l tv a lot.


We have fell off since then. :lol:
