"New" NBAtv appreciation.

[SneakerProSr.]

Open Court with Chuck, Shaq, Kenny and the crew.

NB80's for us oldheads

These shows may have been on for the last three months but I have boycotted all things NBA since the lockout.

Really impressed with the new program directors.

Open Court is the Goods

loving Open Court

just started back watching NBATV too

 

[morningstar7777]

They seem to have revamped their programming, but it can still be much better (and bigger)

 

[al3xis]

ever since TNT took over their production, it's gotten steadily better. It's nowhere close to NFL network or even MLB network and I agree that NBA Game Time can be much better (and bigger) but I think it's getting there. I hope to see more original programming from them. 
I think getting Matt Winer for them has been a big plus. 

 

[japanair21]

D. Scott and Winer (Sp?) on Game Time is awesome. I really like them. Plus all the coverage you get through the year, and stuff like Open Court, I love it.

I won't lie, last year my TV was on NBATV 90% of the time. The 10% was just for shows/games. If there weren't no games on, straight to NBATV.

How often are they going to show Open Court? I caught two episodes. How many are there?

And yes, it was greatness. Nice appetizer for NBA on TNT

NBATV has rendered League Pass irrelevant to me. Tuesday night featured game, then extended live look-ins (and shows all crunch time action) to all games on every other night except Thursday.

Will have to check this out...

That Wayman Tisdale story

... lot of it resonates with what these dudes are doing as FAs.

This. Seen about half the Lakers games last year. that and the fact that i was in NYC meant I could see all the knicks games I like

 

[airjordan jb23]

Caught some of the episode on before

Need to check for this more often.

Every Tuesday 6pm EST I believe, but all of the videos are up on NBA.com as well. They break down each shows by like 3-4 10 minute clips but pretty much all the episodes are up there. 
Open Court really has been a great appetizer for NBA on TNT. I've been liking Reggie Miller little more because of this show but once he starts to analyze games, that'll change soon 

 and Steve Smith is surprisingly witty, I never knew. I wish they would put 3D on that show from time to time. With his old teammates Shaq there already, it can turn into something pretty entertaining. I really want GP back in NBATV, though. GP was awesome with C-Webb 

 

[mr j 858]

Yes !

Open Court show is hilarious

Steve Kerr had me dying when Ernie asked each of them who was their top nemesis and player that got under their skin.

Steve Kerr's answer was "Look I respect and love John Stockton as a player and person off the court. But after playing against him 2 straight times in thFinals I'm just going to keep it real and say it "John Stockton was the dirtiest player I played against"

The whole crew Shaq, Reggie, Chuck, Steve Smith, CWebb, and Ernie were laughing so hard and dying laughing right after he said this

I was looking for a video on it on yotube but couldn't find it.I think it was the 2nd episode of this show.

But this video is a taste of how good and funny the show is:

 

[dmbrhs]

Kenny's comment at the end of that Kerr vid is hilarious. Plus, they had the video of Jordan and Kerr in the huddle right before that play and they talked about what happened with that whole sequence.

Great show though. They have a ton of awesome footage. They'll be talking about specific plays and all of a sudden cut to videos I've never seen before. That NBA video vault is something else.

Open Court has a channel on youtube.

These guys got me

 

[moneylicious]

!*%$ Charter, man.

edit: won't let me post all of em at once

I like NBAtv a lot. Since last season, its been the place where I get all my highlights. I actually barely watched ESPN at all during the last NBA season because I got everything I wanted from NBAtv. The new shows are great. Open Court is great as other have said, but I watched NB80s for about an hour and half last night and loved. But then again, the 80s is when I first started watching hoops, so that show really resonates with me. Crazy how they dug up Mike Bivins and Jazzy Jeff to do commentary on NB80s though. Can't remember the last time I saw either of those dudes before seeing them on that show.

[thatpersianguy]

Just watched the first two episodes, amazing show, so many quotables.

 

[da doc03]

 @ this show.... definitely will be tuning in

 

[illwill24]

I stay watching NBA tv, esp during basketball season. There is like 1 or 2 other channels I watch but that's it

I love that Open Court show. But I can tell now that Charles is gonna be clowning Shaq "That movie Shazam was so bad they ain't even put it on DVD" LMAO Shaq betta go to ESPN w. Jalen and Tim he don't want no parts of Barkley!

And Kenny and Reggie can't dress casually they need to keep the suits on.
