Looks pretty decent, except for the center court cam. Looks a little bit edge enhanced. Could be sharper. Also notice a bit of macroblocking on all cams with a lot of motion, especially the Cavs red sweats.

With the Staples Center dark lighting of the seating area, flashbulbs are more annoying than usual.

Watching on WOW cable, Cleveland on 50" 1080p plasma.

i watched that game and the mav's game before it on D* H20 receiver. HD1000U at 120". lots of macroblocking. TNT never seems to get HD right.

D* is your problem. They downrez and recompress the HD channels so much, it's no surprise they look like crap on a huge 120" screen.

The original poster mentioned the same macroblocking on a 50" plasma over cable. I do agree that HD Lite is annoying but TNT especially has trouble with a lot of their programming. Did you see the game? If so, what did you watch it on and how was the PQ to you? Just for comparison.
