A thread to talk about NBA Podcasts / Personalities / Announcers / Shows / Broadcasters / Commentators

Basketball code reached its apex in conversation during last year’s playoff series. Brooks also clubbed Gary Payton II with a flagrant 2 call, which led to the Warriors role player fracturing his elbow. Then, the physicality – and the debates of the intentions – heightened when Jordan Poole pulled Morant’s knee for a loose ball to deem him out for the playoff series.

omg why can't these writers actually write?

lmao the fuck are those words

that is atrocious but at the same time it's a random sbnation blogger who you probably shouldn't be reading

I know but I remember early when they started that they could make decent sentences (Ziller in particular), now the site is practically unreadable.

Unwatchable

poor legler just wants to break down some xs and os

This is the worst call of Mike Breen's career (according to him) https://t.co/e0Z74LlNsH pic.twitter.com/4tSKFvL9dY

lol yeah that was a bad one

i wonder if his view got blocked or what he saw w/ the refs after the ball went thru the net

had to be something like that

roundball rock >>>

Timberwolves have a new play by play guy for TV this year, Michael Grady, was the Nets sideline reporter, he's been really great this year and I could see him going national eventually

i like the wolves crew

nba on NBC could be cool

lol immediately thought of the song coming back

just in case no one has seen this, the entire thing is good

one of the all time great youtube videos

*boomer dad with sandals+socks combo* now thats what i call classical music

roundball rock bridge highly underrated imo

KOC getting roasted for this

Brandon Miller just had one of the best performances of the college season amid the controversy: 41 points with the game-tying shot at the end of regulation and the game-winning layup in overtime. pic.twitter.com/81kNMM4B5r

it’s truly demented that that kid is still playing

Georges Niang says he has ‘a lot’ to say about Ben Simmons

“Ben Simmons kinda handicapped us”

it was obvious during the game in philly that niang really does not like him

probably tough to respect someone like simmons when you were a 50th pick who made good and you've made like $12 million in your entire career

this fuckin guy celtics are the top rated clutch team in the league and just beat the sixers by running a beautiful play with six seconds left on the clock what a clown

Celtics got the win but their end-game offense remains a concern against great defenses like the Sixers. Strange lineups, bad ATOs, and far too stagnant.

non-nationally televised knicks-celtics game with mike breen on the call on MSG is a nice bonus of living in nyc

“DID WE JUST SEE WHAT WE THINK WE JUST SAW?!”

great call. svg shell shocked

Dan Le Batard tells Stephen A. that he HATES what he and @SkipBayless have done to sports television.

"I would say who the hell are you to say me and him, what about YOU?!”

i dislike richard jefferson so, sooo much

hes such a weenie

he’s lame, devoid of charisma *and* a dick. such a bad combo

he is now criticizing spencer dinwiddie for not going for a lay up down 3 with 8 seconds left and no timeouts

“no shot blocker in there” he says incredulously

ThreeFourTwo Productions has acquired The Dunker's Spot... Happy for them, but ugh have to listen to more gambling add reads.

Also hope they can edit the length of their eps down.. last one was 2 hours 40 minutes.

Jefferson is so bad, revolting personality

that guy really stinks

he just seems very pointless. jj would be fine on his own

the amount of playoff preview podcast content is overwhelming

This is the absolute best week of the year to listen to NBA podcasts. I just heard Bill Simmons say that Giannis will become "the best player since LeBron" if he wins a title this year, and then when asked to clarify he said, "Let's say LeBron ... it goes til 2018, right?"

i tend to like the post game pods way more than the prediction stuff.

still thinking about how last night, as the camera showed tatum & brown embracing, mark jones said “the two Js… smoking on that philly pack tonight.” honestly did not know you could say that on TV
