NBA broadcasting, including that of the Portland Trail Blazers, has changed over the last decade. We live in a highlight reel, controversy-intense era. Logical description of the action has taken a back seat to subtle sensationalism. Is this a bug or a feature of NBA broadcasts? That’s the question in today’s Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.
Hello Dave,
My question concerns the Blazer telecasts. I have disliked the Blazer telecasts for some time because of their approach to replays. I can tolerate some of the “homer-ism” of the commentators, but the replays are often of Blazer baskets which have nothing to do with the play which just happened.
