2012 ncaa tournament / march madness / anthony davis appreciation thread / RIP gus johnson / shaka smart for ambassador to the UN

curse you, mr. jokic!

love a thriller gone wrong

phew

blazers have lost a bunch of one or two basket games lately, not that winning games matters when it comes to seeding

A little late to the convo but Zion's height/length aren't that dissimilar from PJ Tucker but he's quicker and more athletic despite having 40 lbs on PJ. If anything's gonna hold him back from being a great defender it's that he seems like just a really nice guy. He needs to get on twitter to learn the art of getting mad at imaginary takes.

that’s an interesting comparison. i think the main difference is that PJ tucker was able to take (and deal) a lot of punishment down low on defense bcuz the only thing asked of him on offense was to stand in the corner and shoot threes. zion would have to be in great physical shape and have good durability luck to play like that on defense while also being the pelicans’ main ball handler and creator. but maybe on switches or in certain line ups he’s be able to anchor himself in the post the way tucker did

speaking of tucker has he been giving the bucks anything since they acquired him?

He got hurt like one game into his bucks tenure and he’s just getting back.

Caris Levert has started to get rolling, great to see

Knick fans are the worst

Hawks were rolling them all game before Trae got hurt.

Couldn't believe Embiid even got off that heave in time but slowed it down and yep he did. I'm unreasonably upset it didn't go in.

different timeline

JJJ is back to playing. Brow comes back tonight i think

Bucks seem to have the 76ers number

embiids 3pt shooting coming back to earth since he was injured

“looks like he didn’t make any contact there”

the refs return after five seconds of deliberation “the foul is upheld”

reggie “guess he got him with the body”

The May 3 Warriors-Pelicans game will feature a Marvel-inspired alternate presentation across ESPN platforms. The telecast will integrate elements from an original Marvel story and iconic characters. Commentary will be provided from a fully customized Marvel-themed studio.

marvel is just fucking exhausting

in the marketing world this is known as "high concept promotional bullshit"

there are so many cool actual basketball things they cld do with alternate broadcasts smh

the NFL nickelodeon thing was kinda fun but this will be bad

just give us a nerd broadcast with play breakdowns and stats

league pass has one of those on monday nights

really is it good

it's nate duncan and danny leroux. i think they do a pretty good job. nate sees off-ball actions really well for someone who is also doing play by play.

we need an alternate nerd feed and a comedy feed for each game, is how i break it down to an extent. sometimes they could be same one. i can’t believe that it’s 2021 and it’s like even jomboy represents some unattainable bar for commentary.

wld like to hear jomboy do a game

feel like some sort of low key more conversational feed with less play by play might be good sometimes

yeah, a podcast “friendship simulator” style feed would just work, it’s obvious, and it doesn’t even need to be exclusive, you could have the bodega boys do one, jomboy do one, fuckin... seth myers do one if there’s demand for it. idgi. you could use clubhouse or any of the new live social audio feeds.

exactly

if you guys want to hear me do in-game commentary so bad all you have to do is ask

DO IT

the draft zoom was the first ILH live broadcast

wow can't believe we built the ilh media empire in like less than a dozen posts amazing day folks

y'all should look up some cricket radio broadcasts

the season did just end tho

no doubt the current tv deals preclude a lot of innovative stuff

ive watched cricket its like baseball except if the point was to get fouls

classic 2021 nba game tonight two stacked teams going head to head with all of their good players out

i can tell you what i am looking forward to some nba basketball in the fall
