I'd be more excited if they would announce they are broadcasting the games. It's just going to be a month of getting frustrated by jumbotron feeds with horrible camera angles and replays after ever home team basket that make you miss half the game. Still, it's Magic basketball, so I'll take what I can get.

Interesting, we usually play Miami and New Orleans twice. Glad we are expanding to other teams as it gives us a chance to get used to playing different styles, albeit mostly against guys who won't be on their respective rosters come Halloween. Hopefully a couple of these will be on FS, though I'm not holding my breath.

I propose a mass bombardment of tweets to @FOXSportsMagic requesting they televise the pre-season games. If we can at least get a camera at the home games, I'd be happy. It's 2016, it shouldn't be that hard.

I don't understand why games like this aren't on NBATV? Isn't that the point of this channel? Instead of just showing pre draft combine and old games.

Can we turn this into a Thread? I honestly think we can get enough people on Realgm alone that can make the voice of the fans be heard.

Let's make this a THREAD lol.

There's not many threads being produced at this time of year anyways :lol:

Tough preseason schedule... it will be Interestimg to see how the team performs. With essentially all these teams being playoff bound aside from Miami & maybe new Orleans

Preseason is the most frustrating time of the year for basketball fans.

At least their are only 7 games this year as opposed to 8.

They always televise at least one so seeing the other 6 will be the issue.

The NBA should at least make sure one team is televising each game and get those games on NBA TV or the NBA League Pass Channels which are free during the preseason.

If it's at Amway they usually have the jumbotron feed but it's not really ideal.

I may not even watch the preseason this year. Not worth the risk of getting a computer virus from one of those shady websites.

Competitive schedule should help get the Magic focus for the regular season. I like the balance and the depth of the opponents.

I may go to watch them in person in preseason for once, I never get to do it. Does anyone know how much preseason games usually go for?

You can usually find good lower bowl seats for $35. Upper bowl $5.

Thanks for the info! Those prices are not bad at all, might. Go somewhere in between those prices though since it's just preseason, the regular season (and playoffs 8-)

) are a different story though.

just by looking at those 7 pre season games, I think we can go 5 and 2 if we are trying to win every game.

When I actually get mine, you can have a pair. They won't let us sell or turn these in for credit.

Cheap, dude. Like really cheap.

At least that was my experience with the fast break pass last year, it was like 70 bucks if I remember and it included 12 games and I went to the preseason games and basically got to sit in the lower levels of the lower bowl.

I sat in the first few rows behind the basket for like < 40$ I think, it was pretty cheap. But you only usually get to see starters for a half, so it goes hand in hand.

If this were the first 7 games of the regular season I'd be dreading it, lol. That's a pretty tough preseason. Preseason is so unpredictable though. We're just as likely to go undefeated as we are to go winless.
