LA and NY dont count their the biggest markets so their on by default. PHX? They suck too so they should be honored like us their on more than once let alone 2 times. SAC? Sac will be better than us but for the most part I can agree with that I have no clue why tnt would pick them up. UTAH? their darkhorse 8 seed with a great young squad everybody knows that team is up and coming although they lost Dante Exum for awhile which will hurt them bad but tnt probably picked them up before he went down. MINN? your kidding me right? That team is probably one of the best young teams thats ready to break out soon. Im not even going to name their young guys they absolutely deserve to be shown a few times.
That sounds like a description for us. New York and LAL? Yeah, they're the biggest markets being shown 3 and 4 times. Utah isn't a dark horse 8 seed, I don't know how you figure. They're in the same boat. Who the fuck cares if we're shown or not? I don't think any one cares enough to feel "honored" except for you, but you're lost in your feelings as it is.
We actually had Adam Morrison and Hashim Thabeet if even for a short time...you're right Orion..they were high draft picks and we let them slip right through our hands. (sarcasm doesn't need a green font)
Well I was pretty certain there wouldn't even be an attempt at answering my Q's,... Guess I was right.
Chauncey Billups is an excellent example of the point you're trying to make. However, Chauncey is more the exception than the rule, but it does happen. I'm hoping we have at least one Chauncey on the current roster. If not, there's always next year. Jeez, now I sound like a Chicago Cubs fan.......
If I find some time, I will put together a list of non lotto picks who have been an all star more than once. I will put together another list of 2nd rounders that made their way into the starting linups of their respective teams. I am willing to bet the lists are a lot longer than most think...
Damn man. I agree, the above players are proven. That said, we don't have proof of much talent. We will not register, thus not attractive to TNT.
I think are playing style could be attractive. We have a bunch of guys who play hard and some great athletes with young intriguing players looking to breakout. That's as intriguing as bottom tier playoff teams in my opinion.
Oh well. TNT doesn't think we're marketable. We aren't a big market, and everyone not wearing a Homer Up! shirt thinks we'll stink up the joint on national TV. Meh. I think their commentators are self important company schills, and I don't enjoy their broadcasts anyway. Regardless, in this business respect has to be earned. The majority of the players on our team haven't earned any yet. I hope our players have a chip on their shoulder. It's up to the players to shut the naysayers up.
