The Phoenix Suns full schedule dropped on Friday with a relative thud.
To my minimal surprise, the Suns only have three scheduled ‘national TV’ games this season, down from 4 last season. That’s only a minimal surprise though, because the Suns are one of 11 teams with 3 or fewer national games and the Suns haven’t shown any reason to be one of the top 20 ratings draws in the league yet.
Now of course, those networks have the ability to pivot as the season unfolds and shift coverage to the more interesting teams as they emerge, so maybe the Suns will earn more national time.
