2023 offseason thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Why?

Why?

IDK....Jones is really good....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Oh I completely agree. Like I mentioned in the other thread, Morey is ultimately responsible for what happens.

But Harden has been as unprofessional as it can possibly get.

If he really wanted out of Philly, he shouldn't have opted in. He's all about the money. And now that he's got it he's throwing a tantrum. Can't have it both ways.

It’s beyond that with Harden.

He is a entitled megalomaniac.

But, up until now, his skill outweighed his petulance.

I honestly don’t understand why teams keep believing they can win with this guy.

I'll take them over Van Gundy and Jackson every day of the week.

I prefer the verbal nonsense from Jackson and Van Gundy, lol. I don't need color analysts telling me the obvious.

This has to be cost cutting, which is sad after giving Pat Mcaffe all that bread.

No way.

Love Doris.

But, she puts me to sleep.

JVG and Mark‘s nonsense was entertaining when the games are slow.

 

[The Q]

Sleepy D (Doris Burke) & Doc River will join Mike Breen on espn & abc's top NBA broadcast crew.

Van Gundy & Jackson didn't bother me. Actually Jeff made me laugh a lot. He's a funny looking dude and would say crazy things. But Doris B. For fucks sake why!?!?

Harden out here making Kyrie look like a sound investment.

And folks thought things got contentious with Westbrook and the Lakers...

Compared to this, that was a mutual admiration society. lol

It’s funny he was on board with the suns since KD calling him fat is what caused the riff that lead to a trade lol

This is the more important tidbit. Doc ain't gonna be in broadcasting beyond this season. He'll get back into coaching. So the succession plan is where its at. Ruocco/Jefferson/Redick is the best team ESPN has had in years.

Completely agree. She's not exactly one to keep things interesting.

But I had a real disdain for JVG and Jackson.

Guess ESPN stays on mute for a while then....

Gotta be a sign of the apocalypse.

Thanks for posting that.

There's also this.

Hall of Famer Hubie Brown signs new deal with ESPN

ESPN announced Monday that it has elected to retain the legendary Hubie Brown, who will turn 90 years old this upcoming season.

I like Hubie but I mean, damn. 90 years old and still doing it? He's lost a few steps over the years. Its a lot more noticeable on the broadcast the last couple of years. Not really the best idea here but I feel like he's gonna be one of those people where the day he stops working, he dies.

Would you rather have SVG and Jackson or Screamin' A and Skippy Brainless calling games? <---what a nightmare that would be
