How Many Games Do You Expect To Watch This Year?

by MMotherwell on Jan 31, 2012 5:16 AM MST

I had a thought before about trading Nash - do people want to trade him because they don't think they will see many games so it won't matter? Does the number of games you expect to watch make a difference to what you want the team to do?

I bought League Pass, and I fully expected to see every game this year. The first two I missed (and didn't have Internet for a week after) but every other game I have watched live or as a replay (even Dallas - knowing we lost by 23).

Personally, I enjoy watching Suns games. The Suns are the team I am most emotionally involved in of any sport, and it is on at Midday where I am. Because of that, I hope the Suns keep Nash, so I can enjoy at least semi-competitive games, because tanking just isn't something I'd enjoy watching.

So how many Suns games do you expect to watch this season, and does that affect your desire to tank?

Answered 30-40.

23 home games left and I’d imagine I’ll suffer through at least 20 of those. As for road games…I’ll watch if there’s nothing else to do but I won’t be changing plans around for this team.

No longer trying to light Vince Carter on fire.

It has gone from

First plan I make to “Oh, there’s a Suns game on? Do I ahve anythijng else to do? No? Oh well, I’ll watch then”.

Sadly, I plan to watch all of them...

Didn't PHXgp already ask this in his latest article?

In his overly positive piece, he asked this same question in a poll. My answer stays unchanged: in the 50 mark.

Just because Steve Nash has that "dirty hipster" look doesn't mean he's in need of a shower. Steve Nash bathes in the tears of his victims on a nightly basis.

Guess my comments belong on this one

Shut up about league pass. In my opinion, if I’m to call myself a fan, I will watch when they are good AND when they are bad. Whether I made a poor decision to purchase an over priced TV subscription for a shortened season to watch a team everyone knew was going to have a tough year has no impact on how I want the team run going forward. I’m actually a bit offended this article was even posted.

Such a poor decision by a Suns fan buying league pass in order to watch all the games even though without it he wouldn’t be considered a fan… makes total sense.

I heard you can also be a fan without having to watch every single game.

But I’m not sure if this is true or not. I need verification for this…

Oh, I've seen this one.

The monkey says “no”, and runs into the forest

There are forests in space?

NASA’s been telling us there’s no life on Mars. LIES!!!!

I plan on watching more than 40

but this season is going by so fast we don’t even have time to talk about each game before 2 more just happened. Therefore, while I want to watch ALL of them, gotstabe reasonable.

If I ever gave good advise, I assure you, it was purely by accident.

I will watch as many Suns games as many times I will wake up at 2-4 AM… So probably about 20-25…

by _tr on Feb 1, 2012 12:00 PM MST reply actions

I generally watch

Every single game that I am able to.

I will probably see 55-60.

I watch them on League Pass as well, and try to see at least part of every game, although some of the Pacific time zone games are tough to stay up for if they’re losing bad because I work early. I have only completely missed two games so far (New Jersey and San Antonio) due to traveling, and it didn’t seem like I missed much in those ones.
