No you just don't understand what his job is. It's not being a good basketball analyst.

This isn't basketball analyst. This is just stupid talk

Solid night for Miami

Brooklyn and Atlanta both lose.

If they can handle business tomorrow vs Philly and the Knicks handle the Nets then they are only .5 game out of 6th

Not ready to give up yet I see

And that's his job...being silly and entertaining in a basketball context. Not being smart about it. That's Kenny's job.

This is hot take media. Shaq doesn’t give a fuck if you think he’s stupid. He’s going to the bank because we’re talking about his stupid talk. It’s bait and we’re the rats.

Lillard going for 60+ again

It's close, he's not Skip Bayless trying to get people mad. He's there because he's fun and was/is a big star and he has solid charisma and camera presence. He and Barkley are the comic relief, Kenny is the smart one, and Ernie is the MC.

Ideal first for Russ in a Clippers uniform if you are @Mecca

1 shot attempt, 5 assist, and 0 turnovers

He’s a former player and a top 75 player of all time so he has more in his bag than guys like Skip. But even guys like Shaq and Chuck aren’t immune to having to play the game.

lol saw the loaded home schedule and got a little bit of hope again. Finish top 6 and take your chances. Outside possibility of sneaking into round 2 which is their ceiling this year.

Sure but his game is a bit different than Skip's. Shaq is trying to be fun and likeable, the basketball takes aren't that meaningful. Skip is trying to get you to hate-watch him. They are both skilled at their jobs.

So i guess Bamba was brought in to be an end of the bench guy or he just isn't good?

Played 38 total minutes his first 2 games with the Lakers but only played 7 the last 2 games

Gabriel got the nod over him tonight

 

[bksballer89]

10-0 Dallas run to cut the Indy lead down to 1.

Good stuff

 

[bksballer89]

frantic last 2 minutes here

No baskets but fun stuff

He is really bad at his job

After watching that Shaq documentary it seems like he is doing that same thing his dad did to him, be hard on them. Problem is these aren’t his kids. These are just young dudes that don’t deserve criticism for improving. Plus, that literally makes no sense. Linsanity was a flash in a pan

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Indy missed both fts

Dallas down 2 with 7 seconds to go

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow he missed both

 

[bksballer89]

Great look but Kyrie missed

 

[Shanemansj13]

Dallas cannot close games. Yikes

 

[Shanemansj13]

I know it’s early but we’ve seen it multiple places now. The chemistry Lebron had with Kyrie is kinda ridiculous if you think about it. Kyrie isn’t a hard guy to play with on the court but they did it seamlessly.

At this point, I think Kyrie is gone but I thought that when they first made the move too

Warriors with the 3rd qurter magic?
