ESPN doesn't sniff TNT's coverage. It's awful. They've let everyone go worth a shite. Jalen Rose is as exciting as watching paint dry without Simmons. Doug puts me to sleep.

There aren't 3 more people more exciting to give us NBA playoff analysis?

The actual production values of the game are great but nobody beats the TNT crew for analysis and antics.

Studio wise not a damn sport in America can touch Inside the NBA, but I must admit, ESPN's in game coverage with Breen and the boys give them a run for their money. If TNT can somehow get rid of Webber as the #1 then it would be a TNT sweep

If tnt could steal Jeff Van Gundy and throw Reggie Miller away, it would be GOAT status

I'd like Sage Steel to host Kenny, Shaq and Chuck.

Breen, Jon Barry, and JVG are the only good people in their NBA coverage. Doris Burke is ok too.

For two guys who were considered bad boys in the early 90s, Webber and Rose are corny af. Especially Rose with that weird speech cadence.

Maybe after the game Kenny, Shaq, and Chuck will be on NBATV.

She's a cool gal, but she doesn't have the personality for that show. Ernie is the MVP of that cast when you really get down to it.

Webber is trying so hard to be likeable that it's painful at times.

Well it was fun while it lasted. Next season TNT will go to COMPLETE shite and ESPN will do a 180 and be the benchmark for coverage.

It's weird because ESPN's stuff wasn't really that bad when they initially got it from NBC, but it was when they put Wilbon, Magic, Jon Barry, and Stu Scott was when it started to turn for the worse. Then a year later they put Rose and Sports Guy with 0 host which was an abomination.


RIP Stu
