The summer league scorekeepers are straight trash

They gave Zach 2 blocks for the game against Atlanta.

2..... blocks......

I have counted AT LEAST 6 and I'm only in the third quarter. How friggin hard can it be to count blocks???
I noticed that as well. Baldwin had more than listed as well.
 
It works both ways, I saw Baldwin turn the ball over a few times (and I didn't see the whole game) and I think they only counted one.
 
I had my mute on almost the whole game, trying to figure out play-by-play instead of the laughing interviews.

What is trash is the whole telecast, not just the scorekeeping.

Absolutely. I don’t wanna hear about trea young talk about his progress. I want some play by play. Worst broadcasting of any sports game I’ve ever seen. A fricken joke.
 
Portland's GM for a quarter, Atlanta's GM for a quarter...life is too short. Then they talk between themselves, without a guest to interview, about the new Laker players for all 4th quarter.
 
Zach blocked 2 on one position alone SMH

I am pretty sure this is part of their screw up. There has been multiple times where he gets more than one block in one possession..and they only count them as one. They probably are just not quick enough to catch them all.

you must have not seen the Blazers - Warriors game with Bill Walton at the table. THAT announcing was a joke.

Walton should be banned from any building the Blazers are playing in. Or practicing. Or eating, sleeping, using a public restroom, etc.

Better yet, just shoot him if he tries to enter the state.

Im a casual fan of his. WHen I want some good commentating of whats happening on the court, he sucks. WHen I want a good laugh, he is one ofthe best.
 
makes a good case for not having basketball in Vegas....gambling, lack of sleep, too much distraction...they should hold summer league in Des Moines Iowa..won't have this problem
 
You guys take Summer League broadcasts too seriously. It's summer league.
True dat.

It's also a basketball game featuring current and potential Blazers players. As with any basketball game for which I take precious time out of my day to watch, whether it's high school, grade school, college or whatever, I'd kind of like to watch the actual game. These broadcasts have next to nothing to do with the game; like jlprk said, it's wall to wall interviews and non stop talking about anything and everything they can think of to talk about that doesn't involve the game going on in front of them.

Importantly to me, these summer league games provide a rare and much anticipated opportunity for each of us to see and evaluate, in our own way, the players involved, which also leads in to our always amicable discussions about players and potential trades here at S2.

I don't care as much about the score keeping as some fans who would like accurate information so they can compare and analyze statistics, but I care a lot about the non-stop distracting conversations, the near constant split screen which makes it difficult to see the game and distinguish the players, the repeated close ups of certain players and coaches and interviewees during the game, and the nauseating, eye crossing, vertigo inducing sky cam bullshit that makes watching impossible.

In short, just a shit production all around.

It's clear that the NBA/ESPN don't think that the games themselves are entertaining enough, which is why they add all that fluff.

You know what would make the games more entertaining? Some friggin analysis of what's going on. I want someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about to tell me what they're seeing from some of those players. When a guy makes an NBA level pass, I want someone to talk about that. The fluff is super annoying for people who actually want to watch the games.

Oh, my, god, that was the most HORRRRIBLE and pathetic mockery of a television broadcast of our beloved and life-giving sport of basketball in the history of mankind, alien-kind, the animal kingdom, and every civilization in every galaxy in the universe.
 
What's strange to me is that summer league has grown organically for something like the past 20 years. It went from zero coverage and just box scores back when Jermaine and Bonzi were doing it, to the Blazers sending Wheels down there to call the games on the radio (which I listened to religiously) to the Blazers showing the games on their network, to streaming on NBA.com, to now being on cable television. I don't know why they have such little faith in the content because clearly there has been enough interest for them to keep growing it.
