This has been bothering me the whole series. Well, four games of it, at least.

Why is the Lakers' public address announcer so boring and subdued? Some PA guys go overboard with pre-game introductions of the home team, but the Lakers guy needs some coffee or something.

Come on, man. This is the finals. How about a little energy?

The players shouldn't need any added motivation from an exuberant PA announcer, but I have to believe even the star-studded Staples Center crowd wouldn't mind a more pumped-up voice introducing the Lakers.

Nah, I used to hate the Chicago Bulls guy. He was annoying. So was that stupid music.
