Please just let me watch the damn game.
[For some reason, I've never minded the similar introductions in baseball or football; maybe being outside and not having the "lights out" effect helps.
Oh, and the scoreboard's "noise meter" which clearly isn't tied to any sort of decibel-measuring device? Please lose that.
Well I dont like you. One, because I disagree with your opinion on this vehemently. I guess if "your local NBA team" is the Sixers the intros could be pretty dead. But the intros at "my local NBA team" the Portland Trail Blazers is ****ing electric and I absolutely love it.
Second reason I don't like you, is you not pointing out what team is your local team. God forbid the internet finds out you live in the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area or whatever.
