I agree... I and many honestly didn't think that they would elevate themselves to among the better teams in the east so there is no surprise that they don't get as much coverage on TV. Next year I would expect them to get significantly more coverage.

Yeah i agree... but for the most part they stick to their schedule early on and during in the season. No one wants to see two lotto teams in April. Or a meaningless game where there are no playoff implications in the final week of the season.

They are 20+ games over .500 yet the only team that ever seems to be on are the Lebrons. They are on almost every night, it seems like only teams like the Lakers, Cavs, Rockets, are every telivised. I'm sick of it. It's supposed to be the NBA, not the "superstar" leauge. People are fans of teams and they want to see their teams. I do have leauge pass when i'm at home which is great but up at college I do not, but still how can a team thats 20+ games over .500 never be on tv? It makes no damn sense.

Because the schedules and national games are planned out before the season starts. Orlando wasn't a very good team last year so they don't have many games this year.

Next year,they will. Chillax.

Write to them.

E-Mail them.

Fax them.

Voice your displeasure to them.

And, to the poster who said all he gets is Mlwaukee/Miami games.--How can you not like watching/learning the fundamentals of basketball from the likes of Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Michael Ruffin, and others alike. :dontknow:

Because they wouldn't be able to get Denver on tv every week.

What bother me is why the Sonics and Blazers are on all the time. Of course, teams like the Mavs (Dallas is the biggest sports market in the biggest sports state) are always gonna get lots, because they play in huge sports markets.

But to the OP, don't worry; the Magic are gonna get a lot next year b/c of Superman.

The last thing I need is more boring games on national television. Orlando games aren't so exciting to be honest. Watching D12 taking alley-oop passes (same dunk over and over) & a bunch of unknowns jacking up 3's over and over isn't so fun...

Yeah ok.. last year I can see that, Brian Hill sucked. But this year we're actually pretty exciting.. but hey I guess LeBrons dunks and his bunch of well known allstars is fine.
