[HOU/ORL] Silent game?
- Thread starter Mr. S£im Citrus

well we know what you want maybe NBA tv is not doing this for ppl like youself that can go to games. maybe just maybe there is a large amount of ppl that can't afford or doesn't live remotly close to an NBA arena and they wanted to see how ppl liked the experience. The feedback from this game will probably bring about more games like it or none at all.
Just because the league wants and hopes, doesn't mean it will happen. Houston has a tough schedule coming up, a not-fully-focused-McGrady, and play the Suns next game. Yao seems to be back playing well after the surgery, though. They have been and are an improved team than in the first half, obviously.
I enjoyed it quite a lot. I got to watch it on a 52" HDTV (not mine, unfortunately), and at times, it felt very much like I was at the game. You could here shots swishing, basketballs dribbling, sneakers squeaking and players talking.
In my opinion, announcers don't usually add that much to the game, and in some cases (not naming names), detract from it. It was a pleasant change.
As for if they are doing this again, I'm not sure. The pregame analysts said that fans can express their feelings about the "silent" game (perhaps at NBA.com) by voting on a poll. If people like it, the analysts said they would have more games like this.

I go to Kings games but I could give a crap about listenening to announcers on TV during the game. I LOVED this game today. Right after commercials, before play started, they would talk for a minute and recap real quick then back to the sounds of the game. I'd love to see more like this.
If anything, if possible, for people like Slim, when they do these games they could make it on two channels. One with announcers telling me what I already knew and one where I hear the players and coaches calling out plays.

I was referring to Vlad's hyperbole; if he is, in fact, in Cambridge, then there's no way that he's "1000 miles" from an NBA city.
I fact, with the Hornets currently in Okalhoma City, I would venture to guess that there's less than ten percent of the continental US that's not within 1000 miles of an NBA city.

They showed the polls on NBAtv and this is what they had, approximately 30% liked it, 30% wanted announcers back, 30% wanted more of these types of games and like 5% didnt care
As for me I would love to have a silent game with the Kings but only if they put a microphone on the guy that Ron Artest is guarding, would love to see what he has to say
