You knew some higher up saw a bill that showed how much they pay for that camera, etc and then looked and saw how little they used it. Probably demanded a minimum set time tha the camera angle be used.
I like it too. The only ever use it for 30secs at a time, and that's fine with me.

OMG that was ing HORRIBLE. It was blurry, looked like I was watching some sitcom, I felt that the players were prone to miss more shots because of that angle for some reason I don't know why. It was annoying like I was playing a video game or watching some replay. Just horrible, stick to what works, ABC you're not innovative or orginal. I mean it took me out of the game like I didn't wanna watch it anymore a good comparison is like you're watching a movie and a line fat dudes keep on walking back and forth the get pop corn or something.
BTW The Pussycat Dolls song sucks ass and does not fit the general theme. Play that during a Game 7 or a close-out game, not in Game 3 of the series. WTF? Also, that song is just plain bad lyrics, beat and everything.
I'm trying to watch a replay right now in HD and it looks horrible. You miss too much of the action. I can see a purpose for it during replays but for live action it's disgusting.
It's like what the XFL had a decade ago but way worse.
someone in SA should try to break it and see if candy comes out
That would be sweet!
You can't really say enough on how bad the angles are. I think ABC insists upon it because they think it's revolutionary or something on a grand scale. I'm sure any of their execs could tell you it's a terrible view.
On this note, I think its hard for large scale operations such as ABC sports television, David Stern, whatever to admit when they're wrong about an idea they thought was going to make a positive change. Plus, sometimes when you control the way things are, you can just let people complain and pretty soon people don't complain as much and then eventually that's just the way something is.
I don't see the horrible angles lasting though.

Maybe yall punk asses have 2 upgrade your TVs cuz i dont mind the angles and love them when i rewatch them on my DVR
and what kinda of excuse is miss some of the action...you should know where every spur player is on the floor so how could u miss somethin?
As Spurs fans, we'll have to live with ABC bull for at least an entire series to come...the NBA Finals are brought to you by ABC.
I'd just be thankful that I got to watch every game live...
Yes that wire cam totally sucks ass.
Everyone here needs to go to abc.com and write a note about how they hate it and want it to stop. That is the only thing that will help. Networks are scared to death of their viewers, even a small number of emails will be loud and clear to them.
