    Phew, I'm glad you got that off your chest. Kinda the way you exited your writing career, too.

    I like seeing other team's replays; gives me a chance to see who on our team is screwing off on D.

    4 of 8, not quite a majority.

    Tried this, but they want me to pay now.

    So I just manually counted.

    Bro the broadcast last night was genuinely bad. It might appeal to general audience of newbies but hardcore people ( or hell anyone that appreciates bball) have to have hated that shit. Just rewatch it and see how many plays you completely miss weakside action. Or guys making defensive plays cuz theyre obscured by others. All we need is one freaking angle. Stop complicating shit.

    This is exactly it. Ive watched so much basketball this past week its been sickening tbh. Even watched a preseason Hornets game. No broadcast has made react like the game last night. I get the experimenting but there are limits to whats new and edgy and whats just overkill.

    It’s a league wide mandate. I even gave you examples. And you are claiming the rest of the league is NOT implementing these requests? Just us?

    League wide mandate to switch to these angles in live action? Holy hell I have to live with this all season? Either I'm missing that from like the 25 other games ive watched the past ten days or I'm selectively watching ours.

    Genuine question, do the majority of fans actually like this stuff?

    First world problems I supppose... Heh

    HCP, they're saying that the league-wide mandate is interpreted differently by each team. Your crew is implementing it more than other teams.

    Interpretation. Quantity.
