The term, dear friends, is "bonus coverage."
Yes, we now have the broadcast equivalent of averting one's eyes at an accident scene ... of getting 86'd at the bar, rejected by the host body, left at the altar while your fiancee runs off with Dustin Hoffman in "The Graduate." Combined with the incredible ineptitude of the four teams competing feverishly for the 9th spot in the East, this is the kind of game that could contribute to the Pistons literally dying of boredom. | You gotta love that the Bad Boys totally screwed with the NBA marketing "Michael" and 17 years later, the Pistons are messing with the incumbent godhood of "LeBron".
I caught "Bron's" postgame hallway interview on NBATV (didn't get the game). Let's simply say, he's no Sidney Lowe when it comes to hallway interviews. Despite a barrage of questions about his ankle, you could tell he had just suffered an ass whupping of cosmic proportions and wanted to run away to cry himself to sleep.
Beautiful. Now I will go see what Cleveland fans are saying on their forums. MUWAHAHAHA!
