Phoenix Suns get a ton of tv time

[Arizona_Sting]

Yeah, the Super Bowl is in Arizona. ESPN is already there, so that's why they have 2 during this span. They planned it on purpose.

Like I said, they have a bunch coming up and deservedly so after how rarely they've been on the last couple years. It would've made more sense if you made this thread like 3-4 weeks from now. But your OP is just retaaaahhhded.

Nothing against the Suns. I know they have a large loyal fan base, but this is a .500 team over last two years.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

.500? Uhhh...

They went 48-34 last year. 27-20 this year.

If anything you should be complaining about the Lakers & Knicks always being on TV. They have awful teams this year, but they are huge markets so that's why they continue to show up.

I'd rather see Portland/Phoenix than NY/LA this year ANY DAY.

 

[OregonDucks]

Been to playoffs recently is more what I meant.

 

[OregonDucks]

I dont see New York often....lakers yes, seems like TNT just airs these guys all the time....

I'm also extremely sick of The Bulls...so boring, and the entire broadcast of the game is about how Derrick Rose May be returning or not returning.

Yes we need less Lakers, Knicks, and Bulls on national TV.

It's not like you were forced to watch them on ESPN before Time Warner. Their games were on Fox Sports and Kcal 9.

Yes I know it and now that you mention it, I seldom watched them on ESPN when their were simultaneous broadcasts on FOX and ESPN - Just never did care for Barkley

Bulls I don't mind.

Knicks and Lakers I agree.

They did remove their game from ESPN this weekend in favor of bowling so that's a step in the right direction right?

Okay, so I got them mixed up - I still don't watch much of ESPN and never have even before Time Warner.

You might see less of the Lakers and Knicks for the next year or so while the Lakers are rebuilding, but that's not going to last. The Lakers still have one of the biggest fan bases in the world and the Knicks also have a huge fan basis. Fans all over the world are going to pay to see a team from a major city like Los Angeles and New York, but most people in other countries have never heard of the Phoenix Suns or the Bulls. Mabe they have heard of Miami Heat because Miami Beach is one of the more popular vacation spot in the world, but the Lakers still will be the NBA's biggest draw once they bounce back.

Come to think of it, I never have cared much for the analysts on ESPN or TNT, but at least Barkley is entertaining

Do you like First Take on TNT with Skip Bayless and Shaq?

As much as I want to hate Shaq, He's actually been pretty good to be honest. Barkley is actually funny to watch most of the time, but I just don't care for his opinions. Kenny has been the best of the three, but any time I can watch James Worthy instead - I am gone.

How do you know? You said you never watch.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Pretty sure I used the word seldom


Seldom is different from never. At least it is in my dictionary

Yep - Seldom - even now there are times there is no choice

Given how you were able to assess what you like and don't like, it's pretty clear that you're watching more than seldom.

Obviously, just another typical bs post by you.
