PrintThe Philadelphia 76ers are now up to eight nationally televised games – all on ESPN – along with three on NBA TV. According to Tom Moore of Philly Burbs (H/T KJ Brophy), ESPN has announced that they have added the Sixers and Pacers March 14 match-up to their national broadcast schedule.
#ESPN adds #Sixers at #Pacers March 14 game to TV schedule. Still starts at 7 p.m
This is the second such announcement ESPN has made in recent weeks. They also added the Sixers/Mavs game.
The Sixers only had one nationally televised game last season, and without doing the research I would bet that the Sixers eight games – and counting – are more than the Sixers have had in the last few seasons, combined. It's amazing what winning does for a franchise. Andre Iguodala is getting All-Star consideration, the national media is writing positively about the Sixers, and they're going to be on TV all the time (six times in March alone). Don't be surprised if more Sixers games are added in the future.

According to Adam Aron the Jazz game got picked up too but I think that is on NBATV I think & I don’t know if that is necessarily National TV

I refuse to watch a basketball game...
…without Zumoff. “And DOWN it goes”, with the pain emphasized on the DOWN when an opposing team sinks a clutch 3. I refuse to watch a game in which garbage is not turned into gold, in which all windows and doors remain unlocked, in which “a man’s rebound” is not fought for, in which a player does not “dip in” for a field goal (preferably while “in rhythm”). You all know what I’m talking about.
Also, am I the only one who gets a literal laugh-out-loud at at least one thing Malik says per broadcast? I think it was the Miami game he threatened to rip Bruce Bowen’s jersey down from the rafters, which is hilarious. Also, his hatred of Bobblehead Night. Best color man since The Mayor.
I understand the ESPN telecasts are meant to show respect, but I really don’t get nearly as pumped up for a game without our broadcast team.

That was a man’s post right there.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
Other great color commentators: Doug Collins, Dr. Jack Ramsey, and
Steve Mix, and the greatest in NCAA Bill Raftery (all with Philly connections. Also Hubie Brown. Can anybody think of a Hubie link to Philly hoops

With a little kiss!
Absolutely love the comedy that is Bill Raftery.
Thanks for making me feel old today, BPG.
