Do you have any gripes with the network TV coverage of NBA games?

Question

I sure do. I have several. Let me see some of yours before I list my lengthy grievance list.

#1 I agree. I neither have nor want cable, but sinc I get to do things like miss the entire Eastern Conference Finalse The Great David Stern has split the package ("A majority of homes are now wired to cable.")

#3 This is maybe my biggest peeve. I call it Deadvision because I get the sickening sensation of being disembodied and hovering over the court like some sort of ghost. I would like just one view during live action: The traditional shot from midcourt sideline elevated.

#4 I stopped watching pregame stuff and halftime shows, nevermind postgame on TNT, because they seem more geared to impressing us with the studio talent than offering keen insight into the game at hand.

Answer 1

omg yes...abc, for the love of god stop using the moving camera that goes down close to the players & just stick with the traditional view.

Answer 2

My main gripe is that there aren't ENOUGH games on network. I don't have, want, or need cable and I miss probably 90% of them. And when they ARE on network, they're all on the same day, either Saturday or Sunday, back to back. I don't know about you but I have a problem with sitting down and watching 6 straight hours of tv, even if it is basketball.

Answer 3

my grievance is that they still air the nba. do the ratings not give them a clue that people are turned off by the amount of thugs they allow in their league? im a sports nut, im a fan of it all, and so are most of the people i hang out with. i dont know a single person that watched the finals. david stern needs to go, and they need to get someone like mark cuban or goodell from the nfl to clean the league image and product up, cause right now it sukks.

Answer 4

no i dont. I like watching the coverage of nba on TNT with kenny and charles.

Answer 5

two words.. bill walton.

95% of the time it's like what is he talking about?
