Last night was the highly anticipate match between USA and China in men's basketball. Of course the US went on to totally smash China in a pretty lazy effort. I wonder if anyone will really challenge them this year.
Anyway, the best/worst part of the game was the garbage spewing from the mouths of the two Pearl TV commentators. (Pearl TV is one of HK's local channels) It's kind of hard to describe, it's one of those 'you had to be there' moments. The commentary was so bad, I can't give it justice by bitching about it. It sucked. It blooooowed. It was garbage. Total waste of breath...etc...etc...etc.
I can't believe these guys are actually being paid to talk. They should be paid to shut up. Two drunken Aussies in Wan Chai would do a better job than those two did last night. If was GAAAAAAAAAWD AWFUL!
They were much worse in the moment, but here are some zingers from last night,
"There's something about Carmello Anthony...he just makes me...uncomfortable." Thanks for letting us know you racist.
"You know why, it's physcological, he looks a lot like Alan Iverson." So you think he's a goon also, thanks for letting us know you racist.
"I wish they wouldn't have so many tatoos." Thanks for letting us know you racist.
"Chris Wade plays for Miami, he is also from there." It's Dwayne Wade, and he's not from Miami.
"Yao Ming looks like he sprained his foot. Yup he's hurt his foot. I think he's hurt his foot." Um, why is he walking perfectly fine then.
There's so much more I can't go on, it makes me angry/laugh too hard. The fact Pearl TV cut out numerous bits of the game because they were late getting back from commercial also didn't help. Next game I think I will watch on the Chinese channel.
Ya, it was THAT bad!

oh, and how one Pearl dude bashed about one guy's Free Throw, said how his arm shouldn't be behind his head. like, any of his business is it? grrrrrrr
and how he said "I think he meant to do like this...." (I assume with some hand gesture).... dude, you weren't on screen.... MORONS!
and he was soooooo GOOD at keeping the score in mind. and can't even read the numbers properly.
and thought YAOMING was off, when he was actually playing...
Grrrrrrr that was unbelievably terrible!!!!!!
You really should come back to NA to hear some good old CBC broadcasting of the same game. It wasn't much better! Melodrama to incredible excess.We watched a bit of the equestrian competition from HK online, some familiar buildings in the background!
And you think NBC is any better?
NBC is way better. At least they know about the sport that they're talking about. At one point, when the ref blew the whistle and made the sign for the carrying violation (something very basic to basketball), the two Pearl TV wizards were completely lost, then Andres Sams (the worst offender) hade an epiphany and shouted, "I believe he was running with the ball!"
A disgrace.
