Washington Bullets TV Time

In what seems to be becoming an alarming trend, there are several games that seem to be missing from the tube this upcoming season for Bullets fans. Never before can I recall more than 2-3 games per season being missing from clickable TV range. In this season, we will see that number exceeded in the first month alone.

THE BREAKDOWN:

Preseason

4 of 9 contests will be aired.

*You can write this off as the preseason, sure. Perhaps more alarming here is that 8 of 9 contests were on the road. Sure, we're young - but that's a tough way for your team to begin the season before, well, it even begins. Diets are off, routines are off, and I have to think it wears on your psychologically a bit. Okafor has already been reported sick with "food poisoning" and lost over 10 pounds. What are the chances that would have happened if he is eating from his own place 1/2 the time? I digress...

Regular Season

10 of 13 contests currently set to be aired. Games Missing: MIL, UT, PORT

February:

12 of 12 contests currently set to be aired.

April:

Total: 23 of 81 Contests Unavailable

*These numbers could always change, obviously, but I found this alarming as I reviewed the schedule. Perhaps this is normal and the games naturally get picked up along the way.

If that isn't the case and we are out over 1/4 of the season, it's more than a bit disheartening.
