A few years back I really enjoyed watching the NBA on TNT. I thought the network put on a good show, with fantastic editing which made watching the game similar to watching an action movie. But over the last few years I have noticed a steep decline in the quality of their broadcast, and the time has come to bring up five of them...
1. It's TOO LONG
A game on TNT goes on for at least a half hour, if not forty minutes, longer than a game on ESPN, or a local broadcast. They throw in longer commercial breaks, and their halftime commentary takes too long. Making an NBA game three hours long is a waste of the viewer’s time. I prefer to watch how ESPN covers an NBA game, because they make less of a circus out of it, and actually show a sport.
2. Ernie, Kenny, and Charles
They do nothing but laugh and give ridiculous game analysis. When they do the “Gone Fishing” segment after a team is knocked out of the playoffs, they give the impression that losing in the NBA is a silly ha-ha joke between millionaires.
What about the passion of the fans? What about people who will not live to see next season, and have waited all of their lives for the team to advance towards a championship? Ernie, Kenny, and Charles need to stop laughing, and stop pretending they are actually analyzing the game.
