    Ya, everybody has jokes, but I wish people realized how much work goes into actually broadcasting a game.

    Let's not compare the Clippers and where they are and how they react to where the Blazers are and how they react. Somewhat apples and oranges, fair?

    My advice would be to watch as many opposing teams broadcasts as you can.

    This is like saying "do you understand how much work went into making this chair?"

    If the chair isn't comfortable, I don't care how much work went into it. You work in the entertainment industry. We're the customers. We aren't happy with the product.

    See my above post. Dip your toes in somebody else's pool and tell me how it feels. Then comeback to us.

    I don't work in the entertainment industry any more. My work is irrelevant. Don't get upset if the thing that you make to ENTERTAIN PEOPLE is not liked. In my job I get paid to provide a service. Apparently my employer thinks I do a good job or I wouldn't have a job anymore. You provide a service to people who watch blazer games. If I still wrote articles and people didn't like them, does it matter how much work went into writing it? I'm trying to get people to pay me for my writing. You have been in the industry long enough to understand this.

    it might if you were forced to show ads of opposing papers in your article.
    Something bigger going on here than just the Blazer market and its fans.
    In order to minimize exposure, some opposing teams are also using the same feed.

    so on away games are you fine with us using other teams feed without any attention paid to us or our wants?

    42 home 42 away.
    Its the year of compromise.
    When all is normal, get on em. But when choices are being made for the safety of the employees broadcasting, as a fellow fan, your demands are over the top.

    I want that angle to go away. I don't care who does it. I want it to end. I'm going to make noise until it does.

    Here is a fantastic example of what EVERY team is having to deal with. An above the rim robo-cam look at Doncic on the bench, it then zooms out and whips off mid shot, then a shaky handheld shot of him on the bench, then a low angle steady cam shot instead of your beloved high game cam look at them bringing the ball up the court. Get used to it.

    You can call it what you want. I like to be able to actually see what's happening in the game. If you don't.... well.... that's your prerogative. I'm paying to actually watch the game.

    Not sure why I haven't done this earlier, but you're going on the ignore list. Mainly because I just don't like you.

    You don’t like it. You won’t shut up about it. You don’t care that you may be in the minority about it.

    sounds like a textbook tantrum to me
