my fav hoops pod rn is brian windhorst's espn pod w/ the other espn basketball ppl. it's basically the old truehoop podcast but w/ all good/smart writers and no "personalities" like amin or the more talk radio-ish guys that used to be on the truehoop pods. windhorst is kind of a garbage writer but as a moderator of conversation he's good bcuz he is very very knowledgeable about the league.
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 March 2019 20:18 (five years ago) link
i listen to it cause brian is good but i actually hate the combinations of guests who rarely seem to have any chemistry. other than bontemps whose grumpiness i enjoy they can be a drag.

players only is done.

i did enjoy some players only broadcasts but when it was bad it was insufferable... they also did it too often. would've liked to see them tweak a bit but oh well

yah you both are otm. kinda wish they tried to hone it to a good spot and adapt it rather than dump it completely but the naysayers were pretty harsh on it from the start.
― big city slam (Spottie), Wednesday, 24 July 2019 22:31 (four years ago) link
i think they'd just need to be more selective about the scheduling... it was a cool vibe for those middle of the season thursday night west coast TNT games that are like blazers vs rockets or whatever. but sometimes they'd get a good game where you actually wanna hear real announcers and it would be like, why'd anyone think this was a good idea

by good game i mean big game
yeah there was one where there was some crazy shotmaking going on between two good teams and i think on a big go ahead bucket greg anthony was like "well that was a really nice look there ... well executed" or some monotone platitude and all i wanted was a breen BAAAAANG or w/e

barnes is good breaking down the game and what not from the little postgame and The Jump clips ive seen but not sure about entertaining for a 2.5 hour broadcast. its really a hard skill, even the best at it get bad after a while (van gundy).

an idea for players only would be to rotate different guys in and out like a quarter at a time or something

Fitz as Hannity I’m guessing because on his (recently canceled) radio show he would defend literally everything the warriors org did and would just really go over the top praising Myers/Jacobs/Kerr etc

― big city slam (Spottie), Monday, 29 July 2019 19:08 (four years ago) link
Main issue with Fitz on KNBR is that they lost the Warriors rights to 95.7, so it was less of a natural fit having him on the network. Radnich "retiring" plus Greg Papa moving over just made it a good time for housecleaning. They absorbed Fitz's co-host Rob Brooks into Tom Tolbert's show, which has been pretty bad so far.

its kinda funny to think back on those great reggie battles with the knicks and bulls with the knowledge that reggie is such an absolute goober. he was always a fun player to hate/root against but with hindsight have to think that for guys like ewing and starks and mj, the rivalries were less "fun" and more like "this mf guy"

honestly i don’t hate reggie like he doesn’t grate on me the way mark jackson or richard jefferson do/did. he’s just kinda dumb. or more than kinda. the clock thing last night being a great example
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 14:14 (yesterday) link
his biggest offenses as an announcer imho
1 can barely talk, consistently mispronounces very common words forget about at all unusual player names theres no hope, and just has a weird way of talking in general he has a flat affect like theres something amiss in his brain
2 is always way behind the action, theyll be some big play then the other team has the ball across halfcourt and hes like wow zion is really putting the team on his back, hes just never has his head in the game no sense of timing doesnt bring any emotional intensity, just very disconnected from the general goings on
3 is consistently wrong even about what hes currently seeing in a replay, but also about the rules of the game, strategy, whats normal in basketball, player evaluations etc
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 April 2024 14:28 (yesterday) link
comparing him and jefferson is interesting cause jefferson is so unlikable but otherwise understands the job does it pretty well, where reggie has no personality and is deeply incompetent
