Being that we didn't get one f....g national televise game except for NBA TV last season, and I figured were always trying to guess the amount of games we will win in the up and coming season. I thought it would be fun to guess how many games TNT, ESPN, & ABC will air the knicks.

With the improve play of last year and the addition of zach i think we earn aleast 10 to 12 games

10-12 might be pushing it but I think 5-6 would be possible

How about, when we start winning games, we get nationally televised games. You guys seem so shocked, but it's how they do things. ESPN will put up a couple of games of us, simply b/c it's NY, but TNT hates having the Knicks on (Barkely and Kenny Smith and EJ and Kerr trash us all the time.) Stations aren't going to put us on, just b/c we have Randolf.

No 33 win team should have games on national TV.

If team will show some consistent competitive bbal we can get on national TV after 2-3 months.
Also we have no stars and a lot of controversial players - you never know how they will embarrass the team and whoever televised the game

I think we might get one or two... but I agree with Bonn. We're a terrible team, and until proven otherwise, we won't get national tv games.

I dont think Kenny trashs us.I think he is actually pretty good to us.

Between tnt, espn, abc, and nba tv my guess will be 3-6

I'm sorry- but NBA TV should not count- to me, that's not national because only a few nuts (like us) pay the money to get it.

TNT, ESPN, ABC- to me, that's national tv.

We will probably get 1-2 initially. If the team performs well, we might get a couple more before the end of the year.

Some people might say the same about Cable tv and just say ABC is the only national tv then.

The Knicks will be on National TV when they make the playoffs. That is when they will get their exposure.

Knicks deliver ratings and they are from a powerhouse, and very polarizing, market. If they jump hot out the gate, networks will scramble to shoehorn them into the schedule.

The NJ Nets soon to be Brooklyn Nets have gotten more TV time than the Knicks over the last 6 yrs and counting..

Guaranteed you the Nets will get about 10 to 12 games between TNT, ESPN and ABC this yr. One reason! they not only make the playoffs but they are exciting to watch with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson.

Even Though the Knicks are one of the much marketable teams in the NBA, they're not showing it on the win column. Also, Knicks don't have a megasuperstar on the roster that can be seen on nat'l TV throughout.
The Future. GO KNICKS!

This is one reason besides the 23 win season the year before that really sent us into a National Blackout. I think this year they'll show a few of our games and I think it's only fair since we had a lot more entertaining games last year than in LB's season. It was almost like a punishment for being such an embarrassment to the league in LB's season.

Now we have a team full of young and talented players like Curry, Zach, Lee & Nate. We'd be good for TV this year and I think they know it.

i agree with you, and the one thing I have notice is that despite a team improving during the seasn ESPN, and ABC never adjust there televise games. They have been sticking with the game that was schedule, that goes for TNT as well. It's not like before when NBC was airing the NBA.

I agree. The LB year was ridiculous to the league. The year before we came off 33 wins and that didnt stop us from being on many national tv games.
I'm going to up my guess. 5-10
