Summary

You saw it. Game 4 of the NBA finals. That long, lengthy analysis of the game. It had to be what felt like one whole minute. At least. Yeah. A minute. And 12 minutes of commercials. Are you kidding me? Why bother? Who are they kidding? Turn it off and don't even give them the benefit of talking to you. That's just a horrible, horrible viewing experience and it certainly demonstrates the confidence ESPN has in its' crew. TNT would be my preference for real analysis. What's yours?
