I've worked with a lot of broadcast crews. Most of them don't understand why they still do them.

This reporter in particular though... why the hell would you ask about their feelings regarding Hali's injury? They could at least come up with better questions than this.



I really don’t see the point though. Who benefits from this?? Sponsors in any way? I dunno


They like getting players and coaches thoughts. The problem is that the reporters in general do a terrible job of coming up with legitimately good questions that offer insight, which is what they're supposed to be doing.

Reporters are often hired for personality and looks. They're supposed to come across as presentable. The problem is a good majority of them don't have a clue what's actually going on, so they don't offer any actual questions that have anything to do with what's going on in the game. Sideline reporters can definitely be valuable, but because of what the standard is for hiring them, they rarely ever actually are.

SGA about to have a parade to the line if Indiana is already in the penalty (or they're close to it).

This is where it's tough for Carlisle. He needs Nembhard for SGA. But he also needs to limit the Sheppard/Mathurin minutes, since neither will create any offense.

Make J Dub take jumpers. He's not even looking to shoot from the outside.

Refs don't need to do this with Tyrese out. Let the effing Pacers play. Call it fair for both teams.

Myles Turner is going to have nightmares about the Finals if he doesn't hit some shots tonight.
