The "guys in the truck" let us down each and every night

I'm glad I wasn't the only one in this but the experience has been terrible.
- under the basket camera angle for a full possesion
- the interviews during gameplay with two small picture in picture; more space for the red waves
- replays during gameplay
- focus on a coach or a player during gameplay

It's like they're trying to be creative when all we want is to watch the damn game.

I have been annoyed by this as well, missing so much good action to see irrelevant shots of uninteresting stuff is d league

Gotta agree with this as well, now I don't mind so much that they change the perspective from time to time, but the big thing is never miss the action. It's the worst when they miss inbound plays, fast breaks, or anything because they were showing reaction shots.

I hate that. They do that all the time.

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing when the (Please Use More Appropriate Word) ass camera angles were being displayed... like seriously?

The guys in the truck have failed again.

My biggest problem with the broadcast is the friggen player or coach interviews during the play. Why the hell do we need two boxes? Is seeing the face of the person talking just as important as the game? The answer is obviously no. Just have the audio of the interview over the game.

Missed DeRozan's dunk of the year.

Delivery of the Game was in the 2nd half tonight. Are they reading???

Was it always this bad? Or has it gotten worse?

Or is it more noticeable now because we are running so much more, so we miss lots of the fast breaks?

Can't believe the crappy angles on the Demar dunk.

They were always bad, even during the Swirsky days....

Today was exceptionally bad.

The highlight of the game- Derozan's dunk was on the worst camera angle possible. What a joke, I actually laughed at how bad they were.

Whoever the hell "Troy Clara" and "Jumping Johnny Russlin" are, need to be fired.

haha I had to sign in just to point out that I really laughed out loud after reading that.

I have nothing else to add.

Alright, this was a good idea for a thread but it's degenerated into the usual pattern of Lebron and Kobe jockriding/hating.

I'm thinking of locking this one up if it gets any worse.

They ruined the Demar dunk with that stupid camera angle. It looked much better from the centre court camera.

After re-reading the OP, I think this is it right here. Same came be said for all of the pointless transitions into redundant instant replays--they need to show the worth of their two VTR operators who are not just cramped in the back of the truck. I'm surprised the TD doesn't just add star wipes when they cut to and from the "delivery of the game".
