[slayermin]

I want this one, bad. I hope the guys got some rest last night, whenever they could.

[smeagol]

May the Force be with the Spurs.

[pigknuckles]

How times have changed, I was looking forward to the nuggets game more so than this game. lol

[ALVAREZ6]

I hope they got some rest, and that they will play better than last game.

I just want a W.

[slayermin]

Johnny Ludden was just on NBATV.

That was the first time I have ever seen him interviewed. He knows his chit.

[Shelly]

great start!

[Spurs košarka kultura]

Alright eight to nothing, way to fly out of the gates fellas.

[grjr]

I smell a "caption this" coming up with Kobe and Horry.

[xcoriate]

^^ what happened?

[EasilyAmused]

Okay, NBA TV is driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bang

[ZStomp]

I smell a "caption this" coming up with Kobe and Horry.


Kobe pulled a "Bryant" on Horry..on the floor. :lol

Only this time....no chair.

Sorry!

[romsho]

NBA TV has got to be kidding. The "living room effect" with Andre Aldridge, Fred Carter and Gail Goodrich talking over the broadcast is beyond horrific. Let it never happen again. I can't stress enough what a bad idea this was...

Yes PLEASE let it NEVER happen again! I am trying to tune them out but so far not working :bang

[exstatic]

I think the Spurs finally realized they were no longer "at altitude". They came out flat, but busted loose. Tony looks sharp, and the 3ball is falling. Marks and Nazr are contesting everything at the rim on D.

[Lakafan23]

NBA TV is pissing me off. I just wanna watch the game.

:bang :bang :bang

[dn0]

this is by far the worst sports broadcast i've seen..

[Wildcat Spur]

Spurs Fans,

Longtime lurker, new poster from KY.

This NBA TV situation is driving me nuts tonight! I went to NBA.com and left them an e-mail with my thoughts.

This is by far the worst sports broadcast ever.

[TDfan2007]

Did you guys see Horry's finish? IT WAS AMAZING!!! :elephant :elephant

[TDfan2007]

Oh yeah and NBA TV sucks!!!! This is the worst broadcast I've ever seen
:pctoss

[Shelly]

1Parker1!!!!

Stupid idiot in chat

[Jdspur20]

ok, are they having technical difficultes with nbatv? or are they doing this in room boradcact thing on purpose?

[1Parker1]

1Parker1!!!!

Stupid idiot in chat


I KNOW! He ruined the chatroom tonight. I was looking forward to catching up with you and Athenea :depressed

Jerk.

[bradio]

I'm here in Colorado Springs. What's up with NBA TV not having any play by play? I have to listen to these 3 fools talking throughout the game!!!!

[Shelly]

I KNOW! He ruined the chatroom tonight. I was looking forward to catching up with you and Athenea :depressed

Jerk.

i think he's gone for now...i'm gonna brave it again :lol

[exstatic]

No mods on duty?

[bradio]

Don't tell me they're doing to same thing in S.A.!!

[Wildcat Spur]

Everyone who is being forced to sit through this ridiculous broadcast should let the NBA know how stupid this is.
I'm sure it won't do any good, but it might make us Spurs fans feel better.

Are you fans in San Antonio able to see the real broadcast? All of us out of towners are stuck with this NBAtv mess.

[ShoogarBear]

This is like the NBA version of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

How long has NBA TV been doing this?

[bradio]

I was at the game last night. The SBC Center and a home game blows the Pepsi Center away big time. Spurs are always giving away something during timeouts. Not in Denver!!! Trust me, it was lame compared to the Spurs. And so much for watching them play live in their black jerseys!!

[Jdspur20]

:lol

[leemajors]

well here in austin we are getting the SA feed on nbc, with local announcers. nba tv is blacked out here and in SA.

[Wildcat Spur]

Next game, maybe NBA tv could film some of us sitting on our couch watching the game, talking about totally irrelevant things.

Those in SA with NBAtv blacked out have no idea how lucky you are. :pctoss

[bradio]

I'd rather listen to Darryl Dawkins or J.R. Reid doing play by play trying out on Dream Job!

[romsho]

There is no way the programming director could watch this broadcast and come away thinking anything other than it's truly awful. I seriously doubt NBA TV trots this abortion out there again. This does not work on any level.

[bradio]

Everyone needs to send a quick note to NBA.com!!

[Wildcat Spur]

Looks like they said they are going to Dick Stockton and Sean Elliott for the rest of the quarter.

Thank God!

Somebody in the booth probably got fired toonight for this crap.

hopefully they stay with them now.

[bradio]

our prayer's have been answered. Thank you Lord!!!

[romsho]

It already happened. Did you catch how the dialogue stopped for about a minute, and Aldridge mentioned we would be listening to Stockton and Elliott when they come back? That piece of crap idea didn't even make it through one game. Thank God.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Rasho 5/5!!! :smokin :smokin

[Wildcat Spur]

I noticed that. It was like someone was in his ear telling him to shut up.

Nice!

[bradio]

I think last nights altitude did Rasho some good!! Lets send him to Denver every night. Sean Marks, Massenberg, Mohamed..................

[TDfan2007]

What kind of crap is this?! Kobe's only scored 6 points and we're losing!!!

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

Spurs Fans,

Thank You for suggestion, I did send them a quick e-mail - Thank God it is over!

[Wildcat Spur]

It's not over yet folks.................................... :cuss

[Lakafan23]

Here they come again!!! I am starting to hate NBA TV!!!

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[EasilyAmused]

Darn it I spoke too soon! :bang

[bradio]

Great! A recorded interview with Sean Elliot and you cut to a commercial by saying, Thanks Sean!

[Drachen]

wow, no one in the chatroom? what happend was someone being an ass?

[bradio]

I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Three guys talking in my sleep, all night, non-stop.

[Drachen]

wish I had NBATV so I could hear what you guys are talking about. I have had elliot and stockton on KRRT all night (sweet!)

[bradio]

The only ass tonight is NBA TV!!

[Wildcat Spur]

wish I had NBATV so I could hear what you guys are talking about. I have had elliot and stockton on KRRT all night (sweet!)

You have no idea how lucky you are. If you can't see this, it could never be explained. THE most bizarre sports broadcast I have ever seen!

[bradio]

Okay, imagine you're trying to watch the game and I'm chatting away with two other guys about crap! Now they're actually doing play by play. Give me a break!

[dn0]

oh what a move by pop , manu to the bench in the last quarter ..

[xcoriate]

Manu now has 8 TOs

[E20]

Look At The Barry Layup!!!!!

[spursupporter]

great layup barry!

[ShoogarBear]

It is exactly the MST3K formula brought to sports.

[spursupporter]

phew...thanks kobe

[xcoriate]

Win! 95-94

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Barry revindicated!

[Lakafan23]

DAMNIT!!!!! We lost!!!!

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

:bang :bang :bang

:cuss :cuss :cuss

[xcoriate]

:lmao at kobe missing a clutch shot :rollin

Has he lost his touch laker fans? Your dream must really be over!

[ShoogarBear]

Nice game from the Lakers, though. Didn't look like a team that had lost 8 of 9

[spursupporter]

ALL hail barry!!!!!!!!

[juncan]

Yes,Spurs win!

[exstatic]

Any win is a good win with this roster. Glad to see Barry show up tonight. I've noticed that his last good game, he got fouled hard by Mutombo vs. Houston, and tonight, someone opened up his eyebrow with a cut, and he goes off. Maybe he can only focus when he's pissed off.

[E20]

When White Boy's Get Angry PARTII

[BronxCowboy]

Maybe we should get somebody to slap him around in the locker room?

[exstatic]

It bothers me that he seems to need external motivation to get off in a game. That's not always going to happen, in fact, probably hardly ever will. Are we supposed to wait for him to get knocked into the basket standard, and then say "Ah, Barry will start playing now..."? WTF?

[xcoriate]

Too funny, you can see the movies now.

[mookie2001]

barry saved ass
rasho tambien

At least it shows he has passion, he will get pissed if something happens out there and he makes sure he will do something about it.

Better than giving up on the game, you can hardly have beef with him for stepping it up after a hard foul.

[exstatic]

I DO like the fact that he gets motivated when pushed around, xc. I DON'T like the fact that it seems to be the ONLY time he goes off.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

This is like the NBA version of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

How long has NBA TV been doing this?

I don't know but at least MST3000 was funny. This is just so fucking irritating.

[Solid D]

Spurs were fortunate Kobe didn't keep going to the basket to try to convert or draw the foul. He had time. That is a signature shot for Kobe but he had Rob on him with Rasho in the center of the lane. As good as Kobe is at drawing contact and calls, I was surprised to see him pull up and shoot the fade-away.

[TastesLikeChicken]

Whoever is making the decisions at NBATV should have their feeding tube removed. It made me send my first ever e-complaint.




RE: Spurs-Lakers NBA TV broadcast

WOW! That was beyond horrible. There is a reason that having a courtside play-by-play and color team is now the standard, it's because that is the most entertaining and informative way to watch a game. I pray that tonight's "living room" experience was nothing more than an experiment, an experiment that will never be tried again. I'm sure your getting flooded with similar e-mails so I won't go any further. Just know that tonight's broadcast was very very painful, the kind of pain that is normally only felt during nude snowmobile accidents.

:lmao

On a serious note... Manu only had 8 points? And 7 turnovers tonight? I thought that was a typo.... :(

[Dario]

So the man isnt allowed to have a bad game?

Your an idiot

[T Park]

how so Que Gee, explain how its wrong.
