I could see Harrison Barnes as a good game announcer. He kind of has the Grant Hill vibe.

there were a few recent celtics games where sean grande the celtics usual radio guy did the tv play by play with scal (bad) doing the color and it wasnt good but maybe because grande was like this is my opportunity to not detail every movement of the ball he did very minimal play by play and they were kinda just talking in a low key manner for a bunch of it almost like a podcast, idk like i said it wasnt actually great but it made me think there are some different styles that could be explored

john crotty is really good on the heat local broadcast, huge upgrade over the lughead ex-coach they used to have on the games

i like the ex coach on raptors broadcasts who sounds like hubie brown

yeah media ppl seem to all speak very highly of barnes. bosh has been good on TV, obv very intelligent guy. it seems like he has other interests outside of the game tho. wonder if LMA will get into broadcasting

J0rdan S., Monday, 19 April 2021 17:58 (three years ago) link

grant hill just seems effortlessly cool and good at everything

Jack Armstrong's grown on me, I used to hate him. He's chilled on the homerism since the Raptors won a title

When sean Grande did twolves games he had my favorite nba announcer joke of all time. George McCloud was fouled going to the basket and a guy fell on him and with perfect timing Grande said “hey you, get off of McCloud!”

ball back

Hornets say LaMelo Ball's fractured right wrist has healed and he has been cleared to return to individual basketball activity.

yeah thats what they said, were prob just being conservative

bulls with a couple big recent draft whiffs markkanen and white not even starting yikes

markannen is in the dumps what happened to that dude

oh i guess white did start but anyway seems like he kinda sucks

his percentages are actually career best, maybe they just dont like him next to vooch cause of defense idk

lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 00:40 (three years ago) link

It looks like the bulls whiffed on Coby White too.

I saw a comparison of Bargnani and Markannen’s numbers that was pretty eerie.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link

re: markannan it's got to be tough when you know your current team has no interest in keeping you around

bulls fans are so down on dude. he needs a new start somewhere yah

garland may never be that good but he's a fun player to watch throwing crazy passes and making floaters and stuff

saw speculation that the spurs will go after him, kind of a perfect situation. spurs have tons of cap space, a need for a stretch big, plenty of good defenders to put around him.

class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 20 April 2021 00:54 (three years ago) link

yeah they seem like a team that could make him at least functional

are the cavs gonna be contending next year?

G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 20 April 2021 01:10 (three years ago) link

for the playoffs? maybe.

jfc steph is on one of the all time great heaters

lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:01 (three years ago) link

If Steph doesn’t take 20 threes next game it’s a failure of coaching

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:16 (three years ago) link

if you took only stephs last five games he would rank second in number of career games with 10 made 3s

lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:24 (three years ago) link

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL?

Yes. Bill Walton made equally amazing full court passes about twice a game. Never seen anyone close to him in that department.

refs appear to have just gifted the game to the Suns

Booker at the OT buzzer. He misses, but the refs call it a shooting foul. Booker wins it at the line #Suns #Bucks #NBA pic.twitter.com/IhCAxhIBEB

they spent 3 minutes reviewing this and still got it wrong

frogbs, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:41 (three years ago) link

yeah not seeing anything there (did not spend 3 mins)

lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:43 (three years ago) link

was a really great game too, double OT would've been fun

frogbs, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:44 (three years ago) link

the best i could see was tucker maybe tapping him on the forearm but it's not the nonreviewable call you want to end the game

not sure taking small PGs high is a great idea if they’re not bringing lillard or trae young level shooting

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:10 (three years ago) link

and can’t/won’t pass. ball dominant sub 6-3 PG who isn’t an elite shooter... not sure you’re getting the returns on that you’re hoping for

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:12 (three years ago) link

iirc consensus was it was a reach at the time

lag∞n, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:12 (three years ago) link

i think he was seen as a mid to low first round pick coming into the year and then really got hot at the end of the season for UNC. he was a super fun player and i thought maybe he could be a lou williams level sixth man... maybe he still can, the bulls recent track record of development is awful. but white doesn’t seem to have a great idea of how to be a positive player on lots of nights

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:26 (three years ago) link

yeah, the hope was that he was more than a bench guard but in all likelihood he's a bench guard

when was the last time a non-derrick rose bulls draftee was Good? am i forgetting someone?

wow forget it, its butler in 2011, but other than that its dire

class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:39 (three years ago) link

like denzel valentine, portis is aight, wendell carter already been traded, tony snell is still in the league at least, just....wooof

class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 20 April 2021 03:41 (three years ago) link

i don't remember anyone just killing the white, carter, or markkanen picks but drafting 7th is tough.

norris cole getting drafted by the bulls and traded multiple times two picks before jimmy butler is a fun footnote.

Awesome win for the nuggets. Cancar needs to start planning for Europe.
