I agree, but was just offering it up as a way the OP could see as much NBA as he wanted. We don't live in the Cleveland market any more, yet I still see over 30 Cavalier games/season just on those networks you mentioned. Granted, if Lebron were to leave next season I'm sure that number will be reduced drastically!

Because the NBA is a battle between the big cable companies and ABC, NBC and CBS don't want to shell out billions to air the games.

Do the Raptors games ever get televised nationally? And how does it compare now than to the Vince Carter era of the early 00's? Just curious because Bosh complained that the Raptors get no US exposure on a national level at all, and "that's why he doesn't get paid enough".. Lol.

The Raptors don't get national exposure because they stink

Contracts. It is all about the contracts the league and the individual teams have with networks and local affiliates.
