2018-19 NBA Thread

Don't let me stop you from jumping out on that limb. But there's a pretty clear line of the guys that are going to be drafted in the top three. All three could easily be the drizzling shits. That's not the point.

 

John Sterling is more convincing of his sincerity. I really don't have time for people giving takes "hot or not" that aren't sincere. If you have to gin up outrage to move the needle, you should hang it up. We're also at a point of the year where the talking heads really separate themselves. The football people expose their lack of knowledge about hoops, and the football or hoops people expose their lack of knowledge about baseball. So they end up talking about "personalities" and how well the league in question markets or doesn't market their stars.
I realize there is a lot of stuff going on in sports and these hosts have to become "instant experts"on stuff they have no clue about - but I'd appreciate more effort on the hosts part instead of blaming the league for not penetrating their conciousness.

 

What’s the demo for afternoon cable tv sports chat? Who’s watching skip and Colin and Stephen ?

 

Playoff Draymond Green is about as smart of a basketball player that there is, especially on D.

 

Did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fast and refrain from medicine during Ramadan?

 

Watching these conference finals back to back to back to back really displays the striking difference between TNT and ESPN’s basketball production crew.

The Turner folks are so much better. More close-ups better replays – everything is better except Breen is a superior announcer.

 

Not sure about Kareem, but I remember them making a big deal about Hakeem Olajuwon playing a game without drinking any water during Ramadan.

 

If the Warriors can't find their range from behind the line, they're in for a long second half.

 

It's really close between Breen and Kevin Harlan for me. That said, 100% sign up for what you said.

 

Wow!

13 points in about 1:30.

 

Breen has that pure vanilla voice you want in a network guy. VanGundy and Jackson drive me up the wall.

 

The officiating in this league is such trash.
