What teams will get more or less National Game next year? 

Post#1 » by Taiwan Killa » Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:36 am

I think Knicks will get less because they'd realize they suck even WITH Randolph.

I think the Heat will have less because they don't have Shaq anymore and aren't as good.


I can see the Magic having more because they're realizing they're good.

The Nets will definetly have less.

The Bulls will have less.

The Trailblazers will have more.

Dallas will have more (if they get Kidd).

Lakers will get more, they have the largest fan base and already had the most with a 42 win team.

PHX will have more too I reckon because they have Shaq.

New Orleans will have more because they are playing great this season. And Paul's becoming a fan favorite very fast.

Chicago Bulls will have less. They just suck.

NO and Orlando will have significantly more. ESPN/ABC was in a scramble to add more Magic games in mid-January.

Heat will probably still get a decent amount because they'll draft either Beasley or Rose and instantly improve.

Spurs and Suns will get less because after this year there isn't much left for them.

HOPEFULLY we won't have to suffer through watching the Cavs every week.
Miami will get less (finally), NO will get more (as will Portland and LAL). Depending on how they finish the season, maybe the Spurs will get less.

You can only have a maximum of 25 national televised games. The Lakers max that every year. They can't get anymore.

No matter who the Heat draft, that player won't be the reason they get national games. They'll get less airtime for sure next season. BSPN likes to pump up those Player A versus Player B type scenarios, so I expect Miami vs. Cleveland to be national, and definitely Miami vs. Phoenix (where Shaq will exclaim "Whos D-Wade? I don't know anyone by that name. I only have one Pat in my life." in the days before that game). Maybe Miami vs. Lakers as well, since the Lakers get so many nat. games and it's a superstar vs. superstar game.

Portland will need more games. I haven't really seen them much, and they'll have Oden back too.

Definitely New Orleans. Chris Paul is about to become the newest member of the Superstar Club.

Chicago is just a boring team to watch. They will get less airtime. I still can't believe they could've had Kobe or Gasol if they were willing to give up Deng. And then those 2 players end up as teammates on a contender as the Bulls sink into the abyss. Wow, the irony. Maybe they should televise the Bulls - Lakers game. Actually...that might be a little too cruel.

Orlando will get more national games as Howard continues to develop. Orlando vs Houston (i.e. Yao vs. Dwight) should be a national game.

More games for the Hornets and Blazers, as well as the Celtics.
Fewer games for Bulls and Heat. The HEAT SUCKS!

No more Bulls and Heat please.

Teams like New Orleans, Portland, and Toronto should get more.

Surprised nobody mentioned the Jazz yet.

Less games: Bulls, Knicks, Cavs, Heat

Just like how the Grizzlies and Celtics were suppose to draft Oden and Durant.

They will never play more Jazz games. The Jazz could go undefeated, invent a time machine and sign 1991 Jordan and 1984 Magic and Bird and they would get like 4 road games all year (0 on ABC).
