I don't believe I've ever seen you make a positive post about the team other than praising Horford, Smith, and occasionally Marvin. You seem to downright despise everyone/everything else about the team.
Well, the Hawks have been pretty bad for years now, it's pretty hard to watch a team that always loses. I understand that what he can enjoy is watching the young talented players and their potential. I personally wouldn't want to watch more than 1-2 Hawk games per year that my home team plays, just to get a glimpse of the young players. Hawks vs. Clippers, or Memphis vs. Hawks, or Hawks vs. New York, New York vs. Memphis, etc. Just don't do it for me.

Schedules are set up prior to the season, and networks typically choose games based on star power and/or performance the previous year.. This usually works pretty well, though this year is an obvious exception. No one would want to watch the Pacers vs Bucks on national TV, so why would they shell out all that money for it?

Well, if you give it to the most important player, than dammit give it Andrew Bynum. Since he went down, the Lakers are 2-5 and are showing no signs of figuring out how to win.

Well, then again, I believe they should give at least 1 night of TV time to all NBA teams...and then do what they've been doing with the rest of the schedule.
The Cavs are a badly built team. They need another decent playmaker for when Lebron goes to the bench, or when the opposing team focuses their defense on him.
I think Black Mamba has it right, except the order could change every couple of weeks, I'd probably throw Kidd and Nash into the MVP conversation as well.

Both the rights to air it as well as the cost to air it.. A game featuring a red-hot Lebron or Kobe will get 10x more ratings than the Bucks-Pacers will ;[ It just isn't realistic to show teams for the sake of showing them
