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

feel like itll just be really dull but not as bad as the bad tv guy, tho it could also be bad

These ESPN RV commercials were the best 🤣 pic.twitter.com/KkFBbQE0uj

we used to be a proper country

i remember almost all of those lol

Those are so good.

everyone loves draymond

it is kind of weird, like are you supposed to go yukk it up with a guy who choked out one of your coworkers?

tnt couldve considered not putting a choker on air imho

the narratives are bad but the metanarratives are worse, who likes this stuff i dont understand

the word narrative should be disallowed, you should have to say story

*me firing up my television to watch the nba finals* looks like it's time for muh progrum

Lmao

get him

got dressed down on his own show you hate to see it

ESPN just shining today

Kendrick Perkins: “Not one single series did [the Celtics] sweep [any team].”

Shannon Sharpe: “Indiana!”

Perkins: “Oh yeah, they just swept them. I’m sorry... But they’re supposed to sweep these guys.” 😅

really dont understand why perk decided to hate the celtics, hes burned through all the championship good will with the fans, cant imagine the team and org care for him too much at this point, its just weird hes trying to prove hes real or something, he used to be on the local celtics shows all the time mightve been smart to keep that in his back pocket

lol haslem trying not to laugh at perks buffoonery

why is perk on television I will never understand

its cause of his sweet accent

I do like the accent

what the heck

haha, the moses moody moment, a real gold classic

it’s like espn wanted their version of shaq and got perk instead

steve was grumpy on the dunker spot today he said he wasnt feeling well maybe he has allergies

pretty good discussion about TV stuff (mixed in w/ a lot of complaining) on the simmons/rusillo pod w/ bryan curtis. one point that curtis made that is simple but true is that barkley ultimately will have all the power here, and if he decides that he is a package deal w/ the rest of the 'inside' guys then the show will survive. if he's fine leaving and going somewhere else and taking the biggest check or whatever regardless then the show very likely won't survive in its current incarnation

shd do the package deal without shaq

damn dogg why u gotta do me like that

lol what did you do!

I don't know! I definitely never had any kind of back and forth with him, very odd

maybe you were out there dissing tesla self-driving or something

a part of the twisted KOC saga i was unaware of until recently is he started is career on celticsblog.com and now hes always doubting the celitcs picking against them etc trying to compensate or maybe just cause hes dumb, anyway celtics fans despise him

btw note the embedded tweet in the reply, what a fuckin loser my god

celtics blogging is an auspicious place to start an nba journo career, zach lowe's first gig was celticshub.com. of course not entirely coincidental, since i'm pretty sure it was simmons who gave koc his first national scale gig and audience. he employed lowe too but i think lowe was at si before grantland. shocking that i would suspect bill simmons of homer-nepotism, i know

i didnt know lowe started at celticshub thats wild down there in the celtics content minor leagues

media trying to make a thing out of jaylens hand resting on washingtons back is sad stuff they should get a life

Gotta have something to argue about and to make the series seems closer than it’s been

i can understand it from the talking heads but the game broadcast coming back from commercial after time expired and doing a whole bit about it where breen was like that is a big foul and then that was the end was a bad look imo

it was very dumb

lmao the quote

lmao i think more ppl should compare themselves to jesus christ, trump, perk, kanye, it p much lets me know they have nothing to offer but their public humiliation kink

peak perk wow

pontius pilate to jesus christ: your blocked

if u think abt it the resurrection was about overcoming cancel culture and defeating the woke mob

ive been saying that
