    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    The "got a ball thrown relatively harmlessly in their direction." line may have not reflected your actual viewpoint. I saw nothing harmless in what he did, but appreciate that we at times write quick and don't perfectly express what's going on in our noggin.

    They also did not start with the Bruins right before game 6. Leading with Drake Maye caused me to turn off the show. Not out of principal, but I wasn't interested vs the playoffs.

    Not being coy, I don't know the answer to either question. I have a hard time believing that moment was missed in real time by everyone with the broadcast team. My general sense is the media values its relationships with the leagues significantly above the customers. Besides the additional...

    I've formed my opinion prior to that one clip. I also don't think the NBA is on an island when it comes to fan interaction. Again, happy to drop this.

    No, I don't have the broadcast. I do see it is not mentioned on espn.com's or Bleacher Report's (owned by WBD) headlines, game report or covered at all by Inside the NBA. View: https://youtu.be/sxOJ-McfEEk?si=_SaaYlWSMibQsa_C I also see the general tenor by the media when there is any kind...
