ESPN’s NBA coverage is just terrible

I like Doris but she’s a Wednesday night regular season color analyst, not game 7 of the finals.

While I agree with a lot of that, game 7 was highest rated NBA finals game in 15 years. Nobody was tuning in for Doris, that’s for damn sure

I left the tv off until tipoff and would turn it off again for halftime.
That garbage was unwatchable

Doris is cool. Please just get Kendrick out of any pre or post game conversations. What a waste of everyone’s time.

Espn don't make good decisions! Screamin a - prime example

A social media post is circulating and it shows the broadcast of the final seconds/out of the titles from the other 3 major sports. The announcers nail the ending for the most part, despite the fact that the Super Bowl and World Series weren’t even close. The whole vibe at the end of G7 was pretty subdued. Instead of players going nuts, they just went to dap up the opposing team. Breen is usually solid, but not last night.

I think RJ had been pretty good. If JJ was still there, I think he and RJ would have complimented each other nicely.

Any time you have Kendrick Perkins in any way, shape or form of your coverage for the marquee event in your sport, much less a forgettable mid-week game - you have to question the decision makers.

Even if you break it down to a target audience discussion I can't imagine they find anything redeeming about his input either? So many better options that could check the relates to target audience than KP it's unbelievable.

I can only imagine on the weekday carwash shows they roll their eyes when they find out they have to do a segment with Perkins.

JVG is the goat, love his dry humor. I don’t think he was too expensive, I think his intelligent humor didn’t connect with the younger demographic.
