Why is it that they don't broadcast the games? When we sucked I could understand it, but now even preseason games would get good ratings in the Portland market. Heck if we're showing Fan Fest why not at least a couple pre season games? Even the ones at home would be fine, that way Portland doesn't have to pay for lodging on the road.
Do the games sell out? If not, what is the profit to the Blazers for putting them on TV, vs. additional profit from selling tickets that wouldn't have sold? Management seems to think they make more money from selling the extra tickets.
