This lakers series is making me miss something I didn’t realize we had until it ended. A opposing player that doesn’t moan and complain to the referees after every possession and plays on.

I remember NBC making the Ohio State game at Autzen sound like a high school matchup. I noticed the same thing with Oregon at Penn State, the crowd noise felt really underwhelming on the broadcast. Even last night during the OKC Thunder vs Lakers playoff game, the crowd sounded kind of dead on TV even though people there said it was loud. For me, actually hearing the crowd matters a lot because it gives a real sense of the tension and scale of the game, and when that’s missing the whole broadcast feels off.
