NBA on ABC/ESPN Halftime = Terrible!

I clocked it tonight and it was 90 seconds

Then commercial

Then 30 seconds

Then commercials

It ain't about the talent now, it's about who's giving up the bag.

That's what sports has turned into.

ESPN, Disney, and it's advertisement partners are giving up the most $$$

Honestly they could just show extended versions of the commercials and I’d be fine with that. ESPN half time doesn’t really add anything.

You have to think this is going to be addressed with the media rights renewal, or maybe as early as next season.

Has it gotten this attention during the Finals before?

 

[In The Zone '98]

It's either this or more commercials during free throws

When the absurdity/embarrassment of the half time show overshadows the game itself you’ve got a problem. Poor chemistry, execution, and substance. Whole thing needs to be burned to the ground.

Disney spamming everyone with ads. Definitely more on the network than the league.

Why are they even there? There was 90 seconds of talk split between 5 people for a Finals halftime

They have no incentive to change it sadly

Doris and JJ have no chemistry

This is the more noticeable than anything else. It’s Breen doing play by play and two other people who seem nervous and unqualified to announce a championship series.
