The Memphis Grizzlies v.s The Dallas Mavericks

Tuesday night the Memphis Grizzles earned a relatively easy win against the offensively sound Dallas Maverick's. The game ended with a score of 114-105. The player of the game was Marc Gasol who had 30 points to lead the team to victory. This game was televised on NBATV's fan night. This is where the NBA allows the fans to pick the game that'll be televised for the night. Before the game some analyst were attempting to get social media involved in the game. They asked twitter followers to give nicknames for Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. Since fans and media know Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson the splash brothers, they nicknamed Marc and Zach the crash brothers. I like how the analysts used social media to make watching the game on television fun. As far as the game goes it was officiated fair; and the broadcasters did a good job. The broadcasters  discussed how well the Memphis Grizzlies are doing so far in the NBA and why. They talked about how the Dallas Mavericks score so many points a game and how its like opposite type of teams are playing each other. The game was exciting from the first quarter on because of the announcers making all the threes the Mavericks were hitting seem so unbelievable.  I believe the commentators job is to act over dramatic sometimes so that the audience doesn't become bored. Commentators are a bigger component to a basketball game than most people think.
