NBA League Pass needs the equivalent of a NFL Redzone

[OsO]

Let's keep it a buck... NFL Redzone is the greatest thing to happen to watching the NFL since, probably ever.

NBA needs something similar. Show key stretches in different games, show important plays, show important players, show important runs, and of course show all the close endings. And just keep it running all night.

I know I would cop it.

Gametime on NBA TV is practically that when they’re not showing a full game

 

[Stick Up Kid]

They been doing this for years
Nobody cares about the regular season like that

Nba gametime although its cheeks

It doesn’t work as well for NBA because it’s a different kind of game.

NFL is an event-driven, situational sport. You can tune in when a team is at a certain part of the field, or has possession of the football.

The NBA has something like 90-100 possessions per team. You can only plan to cut to a game based on whether it’s late and close. It’s better suited for highlights than high leverage situations.

what they need to do is immediately replay the condensed game with no breaks.should only be an hour max

This, I think they cooked up something on NBATV called Crunch Time or whatever to try to make an NFL Redzone equivalent but that shyt is cheeks. Redzone is in a league of it's own because like you said football is a situational sport, scoring a TD in the NFL holds a lot more weight than scoring in the NBA because in basketball you get more possessions, faster pace, etc. Basketball is back and forth and nonstop (for the most part) compared to football which is stop and start.

The only comparison I can think of that might work is baseball with runners in scoring position

This is what they should be pushing. If enough demand I'd even have someone recording new audio over the condensed highlights to make it flow.

They need to stagger the start times. Then crunch time could just show you the last few minutes of each close game, with highlights and live look ins in between.

Pretty much.

If you have league pass just tune into that game.

 

[FAH1223]

They have it. It’s called NBA CRUNCH TIME hosted by Jared Greenberg on the NBA App and League Pass on your TV

 

[StatUS]

Anyone remember NBA Coast 2 Coast on ESPN back in the day

yeah the concept of redzone doesnt work for continuous action sport like basketball or even soccer

the reason it works in football is because
1) most teams don't have that many redzone trips. even a team that scores 35 probably didnt get to the redzone more than 9 times....so they are rare and exciting
2) there is some pause in between the plays where nothing happens and you can pay attention and the managers of redzone can find plays and curate them


basketball will be a mad dash just to not make peoples heads spin
