All right, JD, let's do it. Random notes. Random! Yeah, I want to start by talking about the lack of finals pageantry with this broadcast. What is the NBA, what is ABC doing here?

A lot of people on Twitter pointing out, and I think rightfully so, if you just turn this on and looked at it, besides the little gold accents on the score bugs from ABC, you would have no clue that this is really an NBA finals game. You wouldn't.

There's the LOB decal on the stanchion, which you can barely see. Yep. And that's sort of it. And I know they have like a patch on the back of their jerseys, but not on the front because that's where we got to put the sponsors. This is weird. This is like really, really strange. Back in the day, of course we had the big Larry O'Brien decal at center court. It looked awesome.

I have no idea why we went away from this. We had it for like five or six years. Okay, it's gone. Were people slipping on it? Is that the issue? Okay, whatever. Then the league brought back, remember that cool final script from back in the day. Remember we used to have, they went to like really basic, ugly, generic ones. Everyone was like, bring back that cool final script. So they did.

And that was on the floor at times. That's nowhere to be seen. And then also on top of this, we get no player intros, we get no anthem, we get no real hype videos. Again, it just feels like a Saturday night game on ABC in March. And that's not what they should be doing.

It's really perplexing how much they just mail it in and how little they lean into the moment and to, again, making this a really big deal. A regular Monday Night Raw is Monday Night Raw. Then watch WrestleMania... you know within five seconds of watching it oh this is special this is the big game same thing with the Super Bowl why are we why are they doing this

We don't even need it actually on the floor if we're so concerned about guys slipping. Put it in virtually. for the millions of us watching.
