The Official NBA Thread: PLAYOFFS

Yay more stoppages.

What if I told you you could save 10 minutes a night by having the games start on time

 

[noblekane]

Like garbage and a dumpster

bruh i couldnt even hit the rep button cuz i was laughing so hard

The flopping calls won't last past December anyways but I'm glad the 2nd challenge is in there

He's is an obviously charismatic and funny on screen performer.

He's not writing for ESPN insider
he not here to give you super intelligent basketball analysis

his job is to be entertaining on TV while being a credible basketball expert.
playing in the NBA so he's going to seem credible to most viewers, and he's funny and charismatic.


no matter how much smarter than Perk you think you are I guarantee he's a better on screen performer.

Yall wildin, got me agreeing with Osh today. Perk is good at what he does and his coworkers seem to like him. I don’t understand what’s y’all issue with personality in your sports journalism.

 

[denni5themenace]

really wish they implemented another ref that they only consult with when they need to review something (out of bounds/flagrant/clear path/etc.). the review process takes so long. would save so much time and stop the long breaks.

Malika got our Queen fired so anything is possible

 

[storm2006]

Ain’t NOBODY else available? All these retired players and you keep the dumbest one who doesn’t even understand the game he played?

Been telling y'all that ESPN isn't for us. See below.

We are not "most viewers" (That wasn't directed at you Osh, just speaking on this thread as a whole). They really just provide surface level information for casuals. You don't need pay top dollar or carry a heavy roster to do that. As a few folks have said, I doubt viewership will be affected in the long run as a result of these firings.

If the Rockets leapfrog the Knicks “development” timeline.

Water pistol Pete letting it ring

Jalen is entertaining when he's in a more laid back setting with Bill Simmons on podcast for example.

But when he's in a studio show, in broadcaster mode, he's stiff and corny.

But his responses were mostly always on point. His take on alot of situations were definitely appreciated.

Was listening to the Dan Patrick radio show this morning when the JVG and J Rose news dropped. He said ESPN has historically purged certain on air talent from time to time. He said it’s just about saving money. They dump people with seniority who get paid a lot because they don’t think anyone is irreplaceable.

Damn they got rid of Todd Mcshay too?

[Hank Scorpio]

Kendrick Perkins replacing J. Rose is a joke. His takes are awful, no sense in allowing this man to get them out during primetime.

Man who the hell makes these videos

I wanted Detroit to poach cam Johnson away

 

[krazy88s]

I u

this is funny because I heard Joe Harris' agent put in a trade request last year before the KD request.

thankfully he's off my team now. buddy simply can't move anymore and his legs are shot

Perkins says dumb **** that people talk about and gets views. Also he’s prob paid less than jalen.

For example max was getting 5 mill. I’m assuming malika, perk Molly etc are nowhere near that

ballmer blowing it up

 

[Coupé It]

I understand Vince Carter.

He was absolutely terrible.
