I'm so checked out from casual viewing of games with no atmosphere. This just doesn't feel like playoffs in the NHL and NBA and feel is all that matters since it's entertainment.

For me, the fan factor is not that important but what really makes a difference for me is the commentary. If the commentary team is great, engaging, entertaining and informative it can get me to watch even the crappiest game. A poor crew will make me want to turn off the game even if it is a team that I care about.
