Kayte likes the looks the Kings are getting? The shot selection has been so bad. Nothing in rhythm.

This looks like a late 80s, early 90s Kings team.

Hopefully the crowdsourcing response is overly negative, because the view on TV is not translating well. Taking away from the viewing experience.

I think the inspiration behind the overhead angle is that the team won’t look as bad from farther away.

Because of the camera angle this quarter, I feel like I haven’t been able to watch the Kings playing well. It’s so fucking bad. Way to take away from the pleasure from watching the team grind their way through the quarter with such an unwatchable piece of “technology”.

I logged on to whine about how horrible the “fantage point” was, making me dizzy and also making it difficult to see what the hell is happening.

Glad to see I’m not alone. I hope this bullshit goes away after tonight.

The closer angle would OK as a 2nd replay angle. And the overhead would be nice as a replay O or D “map.” But none of them should used as live action cameras.

If Kayte used overhead angle like a telestrator, sure, that would be good. But the Vivek doesn’t have the money for the technology.
