Seriously, what in the heck is going on? All you can hear on TNT is how loudly the broadcasters are breathing. Need to take someone else’s word for it? Well, fans all over Twitter are voicing their complaints. They want the madness to stop, and fast.
If you’re laughing at the tweets above, we assure you that you’re not alone. Some of those memes are nothing short of gold. With that being said, TNT needs to figure this out for their next game or people aren’t going to want to tune in.
In a game that’s been dominated by the Pacers early on, folks are close to turning off their televisions and shutting their laptop’s screens due to some unwanted audio. We can only hope this isn’t a sign of what’s to come for the rest of the playoffs. Goodness, this has to change as soon as possible.
