Shaq Has Made Inside The NBA Unwatchable.

chuck says dumb things and shaq usually agrees with them. Don't need 2 guys saying dumb things. chuck has seniority so keep him and give shaq the boot.

 

Whole show, except for Ernie, sucks.

Need to revamp the panel.

 

They all renewed their deals with Turner recently, they're not going anywhere.

 

I love Inside the NBA, but it's changed for me over the years as far as why I love it.

My first recollection of Inside the NBA was watching it on TNT / TBS in 2000, and from then to now the change has been evident. To me, they've been excellent at balancing actual basketball analysis with TV humor, spontaneous genius, and all of the other things that we've come to love about Inside.

But over the last few years, I watch it and love it strictly for the aforementioned latter. Their basketball analysis has fallen off of a cliff. Especially with Chuck and Shaq, it's like they regurgitate a rehearsed narrative that they never deviate from. Their analysis is so stereotypical, that it's become cringeworthy. It's like as if they don't even watch the games they are asked to analyze. 

So while I still love and enjoy inside, actual basketball analysis is far from their strong suit.

 

"regurgitate a rehearsed narrative that they never deviate from"

Sounds like Skip, Stephen A, and the NBA season thread

 

Is chuck still going to say jumpshooting teams can't win when the Warriors get to the finals?

 

It's amazing how much the diesel has improved from when he first joined.

Hate all you want... but Shaq is da man

 

So a mainly jumpshooting team has never won the championship in the history of the nba so far? That's weird to think about. My memory sucks. I know Dirk posts up and had some decent scorers around him. Pistons had Sheed and Billups who would post people up.

 

Dallas was a purely jump shooting team, Charles is an idiot. He said The Rockets and Warriors would never advance this far, he's already been proven wrong

Also the Spurs shot a ton of jumpers 

 

I like Isiah Thomas the most. He seems to be ahead of all the jokes and has everyone's kryptonite if they ever come at him.

Just a cool dude I'd have drinks with and talk about old stories.

 

Barkley is talking out of his *** when he is talking about jump shooting teams

He doesn't grasp the concept that the game has changed, and had been changing YEARS ago

Dirk's true shooting numbers that series were historically great, and his teammates filled it up from the perimeter as well

Again, Charles said Houston and Golden State would never advance this far. He's already been proven wrong, hell even with Atlanta

 

I remember someone asked him about the jumpshooting Warriors still being in the playoffs and he said it's because they're making their shots. When they lost a game to the Grizzlies everyone jumped on the idea that they can't win shooting jumpers. Kinda dumb since they've been the best team in the League this year.

 

Uh, nobody is right 100%. That isn't the topic, unless I'm mistaken. He's proven over and over that he doesn't watch full games anymore. That is my opinion, if you disagree so be it. PLENTY of others have noticed the same thing

 

I wouldn't mind if he stayed on the show, it will be interesting to see how the game continues to move towards a different style of play and to see how Chuck processes it. He's always been so vocal about being anti-analytics, another reason I think it's hilarious that Houston made it to the conference finals

Shaq on the other hand, which is the topic, he can kick rocks. Chuck will at least sit there and explain himself and his thought process. Shaq just comes through and tries to be louder than everyone else. His answer to everything is "stop it" or "he should be averaging 20 and 15"

 

His punishment for him saying bbq chicken is people throw bbq chicken at him. He should be banned from saying yak yak as well.

 

By no means am I advocating Chuck or Shaq leaving the show. They really are fantastic television. 

But their basketball assessments are piss poor man. 

 

Gary Payton and CWebb are both great on TV.

Kenny is great at what he does too.

Chuck is Chuck.

Steve Smith is cool

Reggie is bad, he's hard to listen to during games and I've never seen somebody get so many facts wrong.

Shaq is a big sensitive kid that wants all the attention. He can be funny some times but most of the time he's trying to hard.

 

Show sucks during the post season

 

Sign Jalen and keep shaq on nba tv.

 

i actually love jalen. i know hes hated by many . chucks really  the only one i would want to get rid of .... hes not insightful , isnt entertaining , hes just annoying. dont see his appeal.
