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

full text would be nice thanks

Only reading it now, some nice gems, like guys being afraid to fight James Johnson, and nobody wanting to play for Thibs by a longshot.

just remembered was half asleep in front of the game last night when i heard chuck and the gang rapping a public enemy song, i was like i should wake up and figure out whats going on but i did not

i appreciate TNT for looking for solutions to the problem of putting reggie miller on TV but i’m not sure adding jamal crawford to the mix is the answer

its not good, theyre actually very similar

it’s wild bcuz i think SVG is easily the best in game analyst now on either network now, he’s as good as his brother at quickly calling out strategy stuff but w/ fewer of the antics. but then their main broadcast team goes entirely in the other direction in having zero ppl who can explain what is happening on screen

celtics fans were very mad at stan that last series idk what he got up to i watched the local broadcast

they should have the local guys do all the playoffs idk why its just the first round, mb its cause some people dont get nbatv

iirc the celtics were killing the heat but he was unimpressed by the celtics defense and thought the heat were missing easy shots

which may well have been partially true but isn’t that fun to refer to multiple times on a broadcast when the celtics are up by 25 or whatever.

yeah thats silly

Yah he’s mostly ok but can get fixated on stuff like that and it borders on him seeming like he’s choosing a side

he was the coach of the heat for a while iirc

imo stan's bias crossed a line throughout that series, nitpicking whatever the c's were doing run and praising the heat for hanging in when they were down 20 yes. hate to say but it soured me on him and while he is definitely one of the best in-game analysts in the national rotation in terms of the level of insight but i find him pretty joyless. hard to say why but his brother's misanthropy is endearing, and stan's is grating. makybe because jeff leans into and embraces it. i'm at the point that i would certainly take redick over him, and doris (though she also gets stuck on personal bugaboos). hope i never get to the level of preferring reggie tho lol

run=wrong

ok i think you guys need to take a breather lol i don't think svg has an anti-celtics bias

he doesn’t he was just being annoying

i'll accept that bias was the wrong word there but the particular narratives he got stuck on were a mismatch for what was happening on the court
