sneaky ads transposed onto the hardwood floor which are actually click ads! i didn't realise i was clicking the ad when trying to pause. next minute I've opened up a new ad in my internet browser. really see the investment of advertisement technology put in to enrich the viewer experience. bravo NBA, Numerous Business Advertisments

Nba needs to bleed every cent out of their customers. you now need Prime peacock and league pass to watch games. sad and pathetic.

Surely this is common sense, that when someone has selected to not show the scores, they also dont need text above the game saying who advances or gets eliminated. i raised it in 2023, 2025, and here we are again 2026. Ruining the game - well done. last response stated working on a resolution. why not, not say the previous game scores or who advances.
