Let's take last night's OKC v GS game for example. Chet hits a buzzer beater 3 to tie the game and send it into OT. Amazing. People on the court and at home watching their TVs are going wild.

But then 0.001 seconds after the shot: "His foot was on the line though I think" (and clearly it wasn't).
This particular guy does it like every single time. I don't know who he is but he has this dumb habit of trying to put doubt in the viewer's head immediately after something great happens. I've absolutely heard him go "BUT WAS IT A 3!?" in similar situations where it was indisputably a 3. He does it just to be a dick.
Steph could drop a full court shot and this idiot would still be like "bUt WaZ hIs fOoT bEhInD tHe LiNe!?"
Like shut the fuck up and let people enjoy the moment unless you're 100% sure
idec if he wanted to say he thought it might be a 2 at some point but him saying it directly after the shot sapped all excitement out of it
The entire vibe of their broadcast is that they're salty they're not going 73-9 anymore and will grasp at anything to convince the viewer that's still possible before they all get bored and abandon the team.
There's ALWAYS something. "Was it a 3?" "Did the clock expire?" "Did he step out of bounds?" "Looks like maybe a shooting foul?" "Yup, look! A bit of contact on the wrist! That should be a FT."
It's pathetic and embarrassing.
So is getting this worked up about a local broadcast.
