Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Warriors--Pre-Game

This is your open thread for pre-game discussion.  Don't forget the game is on TNT and is scheduled for a 7:30 start, which means actual start time will be 8:40 or so.  Plot your strategy for tonight's game here until then.

I think it's the images causing it.

I can’t remember, do you have broadband, or are you stuck on dial-up?

Dial up,guilty as charged

Yuck. I think the images aren't helping.

That’s definitely a JD today that wasn’t designed for dial-up. You may be stuck until later tonight.

This means they'll actually show the start of the Blazer game

Right? Please? Maybe? Oh who am I kidding, they’ll still do interviews and commercials.

Bets that even though the Magic are whupping it up on the Bulls

They still don’t pull away early?

I’d say at least 45-50 minutes til that game ends.

Hey, its only a 21 point game

The Bulls have outscored the Magic 15-4 to open the 3rd.

The only problem

It took them 10.5 minutes to score 18 points.

They'll hold it til the other one ends

That’s what TNT does.

Unlike ESPN, which WOULD start it on time.

Wow 7 minutes left in this terribly boring blowout?

Bulls are my secondary team, so this is particularly painful. I don’t even want to guess what time our game is going to start now, if there’s this much game time left, not to mention TNT’s shenanigans, our game is going to be running VERY late tonight.

I wish Comcast could also air this game

they usually also get to air ones on ESPN, but if a game is a blowout they usually go to the start of the next one. TNT sticks with it until the bitter end, then they have to give their highly paid studio guys time and then a few commercials.

Yeah, I hate that TNT won't let the Mike's do their thing.

I really hate the TNT announcers. Definitely going to be muting the tv and listening to Wheels tonight.

by GiantBlazer on Mar 11, 2010 7:30 PM PST up reply actions  

Mike and Mike are local announcers

It isn’t about TNT letting them do their own thing, they actually contract their own announcing teams (some of which do local games on other nights, I believe).

It’s pretty normal not to use local announcers, who are often barely disguised team marketers, for national broadcasts. The NBA likes their own marketers for national broadcasts. :)

by Timmay! on Mar 11, 2010 7:32 PM PST up reply actions  

Not really.

ESPN lets Comcast co-run their broadcast for the local fans, TNT does not. The Blazers, along with Comcast, are working on getting TNT to also let them co-broadcast. I know local announcers aren’t expected to be used on the National broadcast, but I feel like they should be able to run their own broadcast if they so wish.

Cake or Death?

by GiantBlazer on Mar 11, 2010 7:36 PM PST up reply actions  

Apparently TNT has a contract to broadcast at least 6 Blazer games a season.

If they decide to broadcast more than 6 games the Blazers can broadcast subsequent games using their own announcers. This is the 6th Blazer game TNT has broadcast.
