Wizards games feel like the NBA version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the game show where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter. Except, of course, it’s the games themselves that don’t matter.
NBA blackout rules forced me to watch an entire Wizards broadcast, and...I guess their theory of commentary is that viewers want relentless positivity and cheerleading, and don’t mind (or notice) obvious absurdities and falsehoods. Also that viewers don’t care about things like the play-by-play guy correctly identifying locations on the floor.
Like, Chris Miller calling this shot from Houston Rockets center Jock Landale a “free throw line extended jumper,” when the shot was actually from the free throw line.
