    Well like I said, won't have to suffer through it much longer. Then we can start a thread complaining about the other 29 team's broadcast. Whew.

    Blazer broadcasting use the most popular fast break and replay angles from NBA2K.

    I generally watch the visiting or national feed as it is. Have for years... Nothing personal. Just haven't had compelling personalities on our feed.

    Amara works for Lebron at the Uninterrupted now. She was cool from what i could tell and is missed.

    You guys used to be #1 in the industry. You have Emmy’s to prove it. When was your last Emmy? You have fallen off after Paul died.

    What I hate is when they zoom in on a player, the sidelines, or show some extended PR bit while we are missing the action on the court. It's fucked up. Whoever keeps doing that needs a bitch slap. Not a fan of showing random tweets across the screen either.

    Agreed. Offer a web stream if you want people to have that option...

    IDK, I thought the replay guy in that Kings game was outstanding.

    :bored:

    What pisses me off is when they show a replay during live action, and then they have to show a replay of what we missed during the replay.

    That seems to happen when they keep showing it over and over.

    Hey hey hey guys, as someone who pushed one button and made something happen, I am well versed to say..

    I don't know how they do any of that shit so quick and precise so I'm not gonna complain about something that -- if they threw me into the fire and told me to do it-- I'd fail 50 out of 45 times.

    The two things that also bother me when watching. Who cares what the national trend is. What happened to Keep portland weird? Different? Stop following…

    but whose thrown under the fire? There is training and experience provided. Of cOurse someone off the street would not be able to keep up. I would never expect myself to perform a surgery like a doctor, but i expect doctors to perform error free surgery.

    Sure would be nice if there was someone to bounce fans ideas/opinions off of that would be taken positively and not tossed back as a bunch of complaints and treated as if our thoughts are just people bitching…

    wouldn't that be nice…:dunno:

    You DO realize I wasn't trashing Blazer Broadcasting don't you???? I think you guys do a great job. It's Roots Sports (or maybe even Xfinity) I'm trashing. When the action freezes up too many times per game (or completely blacks out momentarily) I'm assuming that is someone other than you and your crew. But then, I'm a hardcore Luddite and I have very little idea of how all this stuff works. All I know is that we did not have these issues until Roots slithered in the door. So if I have ruffled your feathers, that was not my intention. As far as I am concerned, Blazers Broadcasting is an entirely different entity than Roots frickin' Sports..........I for one still love you and your homeys if that makes you feel a little better.....

    damnit, I wanted to offend you.

    I know how! In my opinion, your favorite thing is horrible and not worth anything!

    Boom! Take that!

    Bro, you are great at your job. I think what you do is amazing and I'm certain I couldn't do it. My only complaint is when I'm prevented from seeing the action on the court. It even ticks me off watching Summer League haha.

    :cheers:

    Same here. Though I wish we'd get some better personalities. I'm not personally attacking any of the Blazer broadcasting crew.

    I miss Steve Jones, the Schonz, even Mike and Mike. There are more personalities like that we could get.

    And you're 100% right about the quality of the feed. If I'm paying for it, it had better be crystal clear the entirety of 99.9% of all broadcasts. Also, obviously not the fault of the Blazer broadcasting crew.
