No complaints about the broadcasts here--I've also had League Pass for years and there are much, much worse broadcasts out there in the NBA. However, the one thing that does piss me off on CSNNW, is the dumb-fuck that does the voice-overs who says, "Blizzers." Somebody needs to teach that sorry sum'bitch how to pronounce the word Blazers. I mean, really, it's not that difficult... especially, you know, when it's actually your job, and whatnot!
Hey, HCP! This guy is the first rookie ever to post here that you haven't hazed, for being a rookie. In fact, I've never seen you so reasonable and "professional." Playing favorites? Or did your wife hack your account?
I know, I was actually trying to see what his actual complaints are. I was curious, but all of them actually don't apply to our show. So ya........... Hey Rook go get me a fucking beer! And you obviously didn't read the rules....... You can't start threads til you've got at least 500 posts!
I hate when they cut to the shot where you're watching the action from an "on court" vantage point... so you're watching from the halfcourt line. It's cool and all but it's hard to follow what's going on.
I'm with you on that. I think TNT does a great job of showing game action from a ton of different angles. They also have 12 cameras compared to our 7.
For years I considered that angle jinxed (especially when it was on NBC); we always seemed to miss the shot or lose the ball when the camera angle was that angled behind the play shot.
Yeah, I hate those gimmicky camera effects that take you on the court or whatever. I'm trying to watch a freaking basketball game. Please, just show me the freaking game from a decent seat in the stands, and don't cut from the action to show a 10 second close up of anyone. Thank you.
"You've GOT.......... to MAKE........ your freethrows." YES SCHOLNEY I KNOW THAT SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY ABOUT THE FUCKING FREETHROWS! And then there were the times when the Blazers were down by more than 14 points when he'd start getting more excited about the other team's made baskets than ours. That one really bugged me.
That's just how PA rolls. So sad, really. The man who created The Experience Music Project and plays rock guitar covers with his billionaire buds has oonly corny canned cliche crap played at his games.
She got a better offer from Fox down in LA. Clippers games, NFL, College football/hoops and Dodgers baseball. 10X the work. Plus she lived in LA in the off season. Couldn't turn it down. Talk to her every now and then, she's lovin' it down there.
I'm guessing she lived in LA and she got a job in the #2 media market in the country. Edit: Oops. I should have read HCP's reply.
Agreed. I think one of the most prescient points I've ever heard Isaac and Big Suke make was the day they identified Schonz as "the Bob Barker of Portland." It doesn't matter how old he gets, how far removed he is from his signature job, or how much of his original skill he loses--every room he's in is cooler for him being there, and everyone he meets is happier for having come in contact with him. So many memories tied up in that voice of his; any faults he may have had may as well have never existed. Schonz is the man.
