What is surprising about that? Our team is on the decline and rebuilding. We have no real star power and aren't good enough to have any real rivalry they can showcase. I'd say 5 is pretty good actually.

That's a good thing. If Lopez keeps losing value, at least there's less chance other teams will see it lol

Why doesn't the NBA do proper respect to the Knicks and dock them 15 natl tv games. They've sucked for so long and even now that they have star power, they're barely relevant. Man, I don't want those guys on my tv 25-32 times.

Never understood the fascination of your team being on national tv... Well unless you don't live in AZ I suppose.

Fine by me. More local announcing. Hopefully we'll get the Suns feed on League Pass.

Well I never expected 10+ televised games next season knowing Nash is gone. So, 5 games sound about right.

Don't worry about the Suns becoming the Bobcats. Between this and next summer you will see the Phoenix rise from the ashes. And lets not act suprised we didnt get more televised games; they showcase teams who have stars which we dont have at the moment. TV is all about ratings; no stars = no ratings.

The Suns are always a national draw, so six games seems pretty low. Could have been worse, I guess.

Whatever, I guess I'll be streaming more. If I even care too much to watch every game once the season starts. My interest level in the NBA has taken an unbelievable hit. Sad, really. Whatever, the league did this to themselves.

I was there for a few years as well. It will help if we're good.

It's 20 years of rooting for the Suns that even keeps me close to keeping me around.

After years and years and years of garbage from the league, coupled with intolerable garbage from the Suns, the Nash events have caused major, MAJOR destruction.

I'm happy Dragic is around to keep my interest a bit.

Sad what's happened. Not sure it's going to get better unless the entire culture and direction of the league changes. I'm not even excited about the Olympics because so many of the players on the team are utterly unlikeable pieces of crap.

I counted 18 B2Bs, might have counted wrong, though. What's more troubling is that the Lakers only have NINE B2Bs. WTF.

Burningheart dont worry you will get through it. Once the season starts and you get to follow the new players it will take some of the sting away. Remember being a true fan means not turning away when the team is bad thats what bandwagon fans do. Plus honestly youve already been through the worst part 2 bad years; next year wont be good but it will put our rebuild into action and hopefully by next summer we will have a nice young team to be excited about again. Keep the faith brother!

It's not about the team being good or bad, at all.
