For me, I like to have the better announcers on the broadcast. At the very least, a fresh opinion from the Devlin-Jack-Leo homer crowdebrian wrote: View PostHeir, Prince of Cambridge

US national TV games are an indication of how popular your team is. Popularity means exposure, which means advertising & sponsor dollars for teams and players. Teams and players care a lot about being on US national TV - especially Chris Bosh.ebrian wrote: View Post
https://www.thestar.com/sports/baske..._happened.html“Really, it’s all about being on TV at the end of the day,” Bosh said Tuesday, in case you missed it. “Seriously. A guy can average 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds), and nobody really cares. If you don’t see it (on U.S. national TV), then it doesn’t really happen.”Comment

It's up to the Raptors to make their own U.S. national TV games.
Raptors had 20 last year from April 16 on. Just have to do it again.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.Comment

I know that the Flames and Raps have been talking for awhile but there were always scheduling issues with the Saddledome. I believe they wanted to do something here after the Great Flood!!!! but the arena wasn't ready.Scraptor wrote: View Post

The networks and league tried to put Raptors as the last possible choice for national TV until ultimately they had no choice. The fact that Raptors are on west coast trip over Christmas holiday yet league choices to put Lakers at Clippers on Christmas night instead of Raptors at Clippers is a huge sign of disrespect. It does matter re getting national TV games.3inthekeon wrote: View PostComment

Los Angeles is a massive US market, and the Lakers, struggling or not, have one of the most famous and recognizable brands in the world. Its not disrespect. Its economics. More people in the US will tune in to see the Lakers than they will the Raptors. It doesn't help that Lowry/DeRozan aren't very marketable, or that the Raptors employ a style that is difficult to stomach.psrs1 wrote: View PostComment

The christmas games are not for saying "youve made it as a top tier team". It's not like a mid carder getting the intercontinental belt (90s wrestling plug) they're strictly about dollars and cents. That's why new York and la are always 100% guaranteed locks plus whatever team lebron james and the reigning Champs and mvps play for.psrs1 wrote: View Post
The last time we had a game we had vince carter. We were one of the 10 most buzzed about teams for a couple seasons. Vince Carter's dont come around very often. He was one of the most electrifying players EVER from like 99 to 2001.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment
