I think when there is technical difficulties, and weird shit happening through-out the game, which isn't the first time, it definitely detracts from the experience. So, it's good to know that other people share the same feelings towards the crappy way it was being re-broadcasted or whatever after it left the Blazer truck.
 
CSN will finally be all digital in March (according to their commercial). That should greatly improve the road game (non HD) picture quality. Comcast should have done this loooooooooong ago.

Call me MIXUM but I have to agree with this. I can understand it happening once or twice, but it seemed to happen over and over through most of the game. There's no excuse for that.

Oh and put me in the pro Mike and Mike camp. I love those two. They crack me up most of the time.
 
I personally think Blazer Broadcasting does a better job of providing replays faster and showing more stat info than both TNT and ESPN do.
 
My issue with EVERY SINGLE broadcasting producer is this.

Why in the fuck do you change to weird camera angles during live gameplay. I get it. You have a lot of cameras around the arena. I want to see the game from the sideline perspective, and that's it. If you want to show replays from other angles more power to you.

As for the Mikes.....They crack me up, but every other fan of every other team hates them. That probbaly means they are too big of homers. Sorta like all of us feel about Heinson.
 
75 percent of teams don't do full time HD. Waaaay expensive and HD truck are difficult to get on the road- just not enough of them available for the number of shows (not just hoops) that want them. Watch other teams shows- ours is easily one of the best in league for production values and being aggressive getting replays and stats in. Not even close. The league often uses our show as example for others.

Pretty amateurish, eh?

On the flip-side, I thought the Bulls announcers were poor - at least Mike and Mike can get the names of players correct -- Charles Outlaw? Really?

I'm watching the game now and that Charles Outlaw mistake was funny. Knew that would get a mention here. What is Charles "Bo" Outlaw up to these days any ways? well ask anyone who doesn't follow the blazers and they will tell you he plays for the Portland trailblazers.

Well, MB is not exactly Mr. Objective here, and we all know Rice is out there so I could see how other teams' fans don't enjoy listening to them. But eh, who cares about other teams' fans.. I'd take the Mikes over having to listen to terrible Pete Pranica and his fakeness anyday.
 
I just thought the added sound track was subliminal msgs.
 
The commercial audio bleeding into the broadcast didn't really bother me much -- shit happens. But the funny thing is, it made me wonder if it was a glimpse into the future; and if they were doing it on purpose. Remember when you could watch TV and the only thing on the screen was the show being broadcast? Then some networks started adding their logos to the screen during the broadcast, and it bugged the hell out of me. Now you've got logos, messages scrolling across the bottom, and even pop-up ads about other shows they want us to watch, all during the main broadcast. Advertisers are constantly looking for new ways to increase ad exposure in our lives. It's everywhere. So, what's next? I fear we are not too far from networks working in advertising audio in the background during broadcasts. Oh, joy.

Otherwise, I think in general us Blazers fans are spoiled by years of cutting edge, top notch, Blazers broadcasting productions.

:cheers:

Geez Michael, If I could type faster and not keep getting interrupted, I'd have beat you to that post.

Great Zappa fans think alike!
 
Say what you will. Part of being a professional technician is putting out a professional quality signal and broadcast. It's their job to do such. The first one or two blips of sound were forgiveable. The ones after that were because nobody was doing their job. It's not the announcers. It's not the guys in the van. It's the guys at KGW who weren't even watching the broadcast close enough to realize there was a problem. :tsktsk:

Bo is probably receiving some of Trav's checks!
 
Wait, I thought Rebecca was riding the L Train? Now, she is taking a TO?
 
;) mike and mike rock, they crack me up every-game, specially when rice's always eating something.

HCP tell KGW and CSN To get their shit together! their rebroadcast sucks!

Could still be. She seemed pretty excited to do that LMA feature piece on yesterday's pregame show.

I think there's something going on there, I keep hearing her almost call him by his nickname half the time, but she corrects herself...

I can't believe a thread complaining about the Blazers' broadcast has gone on this far without mention of the atrocious half-time and post-game guys. Who are they and why do they suck so enormously? And what's with their set? It's way too busy in the background - is that supposed to distract me from how incredibly awkward those two seem? It's a bit sad, actually, because some of the analysis isn't half-bad - it's just terribly presented.

Tell em what they've won!

And of course she interviews him the most when she does her on-court post-game interview, no matter how bad or good LMA's game was that night and no matter if he gives off the shortest answers ever.
Even my girlfriend spots it.
 
I'm jealous, Harlow's hot. My g/f always teases me about that. lol

I don't think I've watched more than 30 seconds of a halftime or postgame show this season. I have a strong ability to suppress my gag reflex, but I can't watch that.

Watch the game tomorrow night and see what Rice is eating!

That's about 20 mins per game that you've saved of your life. I envy that.
 
when its halftime I mute the TV and listen to music.
