Don't have to get a cable package to see many games! Gotta say I watched too many games last season. I think I read 32 games will be on national TV including NBA TV!

Nets I think 25 games and Im sure they will include most of the Knicks games.

Yeah, Im gonna watch some Net games. Gotta have a back up plan.

I commited to 3 nites of Tennis for the upcoming year and don't want to veg out.

Last year I was starting to detach myself from the and told my wife "not worth watching the Knicks-Nets" tonite. Funny enough this was the nite we were cooking dinner for my daughters and her friends before a big dance. They in the Dining room and us in the kitchen. I turned the ball game on and my wife and I saw the genesis of Linsanity fold in front of us. Mrs. Nalod was like "this kid really this good"? and I was like "this is not expected!". We both got hooked for the rest of the season.

Im taking it down a notch. I'll let National TV determine my viewing instead of the League pass. Too many games.

Yes, I am excited to see this team, and very curious to see how the Nets team unfolds.

Nash in Laker Land will be fun to watch. Even Minny could be worth watching if Rubio returns to form.

Of course, I'll have to catch some Rocket games to see how our old friend is doing!

Lots of Knicks TV love, we all win!

Could be reminiscent of when the Knicks were on TV alot in the 90s and NBC had the big games televised.

Good find. Honestly, nothing since compares to the NBA on NBC of the 1990s

So many good teams and so many young players leading those team today, I curious to see how Golden State does, now that they have retooled that team and Bogut is coming back. Will Denver and Indiana continue their rise? Will Memphis or Clippers establish themselves as legitimate contenders? How Dallas will put all the new pieces together? How Kobe and Nash will mesh together? How my boy Linsanity does in Houston, is he the real deal? Anyway, exciting times these days for the NBA fans.

League Pass is a guaranteed expense in my budget. Not like their is anything good on TV except NBA games.

That's better for me as I've got DISH so I'm shut out of virtually every New York sports team (League Pass is blacked out so that doesn't help).

yeah me too..my direct tv bill is $250 a month with the NFl tcket..but I recently complain about the searching for signal sht and how I dvr all the games and they never recorded, said i was canceling my contract and they gave me the sunday ticket for free this season, and the NBA pass for half price

we have the most national televise games because although the schedule was release today, it was made before lin went to the rockets, who have almost no game on nat tv

See if you can recognize earl, clyde, Willis and Jerry Lucas in the graphic.

This is what we got when sat down on a sunday after Football was over and some Knicks-Celtics epic.

Games were not on all the time like they are now.

Its corny now but back in the day......

This was pretty cool, kind of late 70's take on "Shaft".....

The best was an earlier 70's version carried by channel 9 that was used for the broadcast. Had the guitar sound and more "funk" to it.

if anyone can find that it would be great. This was Clydes music. It was the sound of the championship.

Knicks have more games on TV than the Lakers, Celts or Bulls. Wow! Wonder if this schedule was put together before Linsanity took his show to Houston. Other than the NBA trying to capitalize on Linsanity, not sure what the Knicks did to merit so many TV appearances. Not complaining though...

This past year I got the Broadband League pass and it was great. They had a cheaper option where you could pick 4 or 5 teams (i can't remember) you wanted to focus on and that was enough for me. I hooked it up to my big screen TV and it worked better than I expected.

I always liked the CBS version the best. Especially with Dick Stockton narrating the theme of the game....Classic!!!!!

Wow - I did not realize you watch the games. It really sounded like you are just a tool and a laptop

Try to think of something new. That's the oldest criticism of someone who uses sabermetrics you could have found.

Seriously, all kidding aside, do you do this all freakin day? What happened to your girl? Is that still on?

The summer is a beautiful thing - you gotta go out there and enjoy it.

Had a bit too much to drink last night with her. Don't feel like doing any work whatsoever today. So I'm just sitting in front the computer and probably acting like a grumpy hungover guy. We're getting together tomorrow.
