2730486, it's usually pretty bad but the setup for the announcers isn't great

there is obviously some delay in the feed that the announcers are viewing and ISP speed/quality discrepancies tend to result in the announcers being out of sync from the broadcast and each other by a second or two. 21 year old twitch streamers and esports broadcasters can adjust to this kind of thing so the presentation is smooth but nba A/V professionals are struggling with it. maybe it's something to do with the broadcast to TV

and it's not relegated to marv and chris. brian anderson and grant hill constantly step on each other due to the sync/telecommuting issues. kevin harlan and reggie miller do it too but less so since they have good chemistry. it seems like the local feeds are less out of sync but it's a mixed bag

it's an imperfect solution to a tough problem and it makes you appreciate how much chemistry matters in announcer teams and how being physically present makes all the difference in a broadcast
