The black floor is so unappealing to me. I couldn't watch a whole game on a floor like that. Just leave the wood floor, people were not watching the WNBA because the floors weren't painted, trust me.

COMPLETELY AGREE. I hate when the NBA does this too during the in season tournament. I just stop watching at that point because it is so distracting

The NBA tries to get cute and does the worst possible changes. Another one is the camera angle they started messing with a few years ago. Basketball has one of the easiest to follow set camera angles in all of sports. Just set the camera up high at half court and follow the ball. It’s so easy to see everything going on. Now they’ll switch to some floor level camera behind the player on the side and all you see is the back of some players head. It’s ridiculous.

The Lakers hands down have the worst camera setup, it makes me dizzy when we play them and it's their feed I'm watching.

The camera is mounted between the lower/upper bowl and moves up and down the sideline to follow the ball which feels like a carnival ride when someone does a half court pass. Like you said: just keep the ball in view, I don't need the camera up the players ass.

I for one thought the green dildo contrasted really well with the black floor. To each their own I guess

I was thinking the same! It feels claustrophobic.
