NBA fans are enjoying the Tuesday showdown between the Hornets and Pacers, but they surely don’t care for the heavy breathing being heard on the broadcast. 

The NBA postseason is officially here with the play-in games, and fans all over the globe are ready to see what guys are made of. Who will end up winning the NBA Finals this year? While the Los Angeles Lakers are hoping to repeat, countless teams will be ready to try and shock the league.

That includes the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers, who are facing off on Tuesday in a play-in showdown. While the action on the hardwood is the focus, the broadcast team is also stealing some headlines. Is it because of some heavy breathing on the telecast? Yup, that’s exactly the case.

Twitter is going nuts thanks to the heavy breathing being heard on the Hornets vs Pacers broadcast

Seriously, what in the heck is going on? All you can hear on TNT is how loudly the broadcasters are breathing. Need to take someone else’s word for it? Well, fans all over Twitter are voicing their complaints. They want the madness to stop, and fast.

If you’re laughing at the tweets above, we assure you that you’re not alone. Some of those memes are nothing short of gold. With that being said, TNT needs to figure this out for their next game or people aren’t going to want to tune in.

In a game that’s been dominated by the Pacers early on, folks are close to turning off their televisions and shutting their laptop’s screens due to some unwanted audio. We can only hope this isn’t a sign of what’s to come for the rest of the playoffs. Goodness, this has to change as soon as possible.
