In case
you missed
it, today the NBA is broadcasting a game between the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets, with no announcers, and all
sound coming from the arena announcer and courtside mounted mics. So far so good, it's so much like being there I stood
in line for 20 minutes to get a beer from my own refrigerator. The only weird thing is going to commercial breaks
because there's no segue.It's being broadcast in high definition on INHD1, so check it out This also an excellent opportunity to check out DARKONATION in action, recently freed from the Detroit Pistons who played the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier today. I didn't catch that game (too busy playing Fight Night), was it broadcast in high definition or another disappointment?
Old school meets new school February 26 when the Orlando Magic face the Houston Rockets at home.
The NBA will broadcast a "silent" game with no announcers, only sounds from the court and the arena
announcer. The game will be available on NBA TV in high definition and surround sound, and should really provide a
"you are there" experience for the viewers.
