I can't stand the ESPN/ABC crew. I rarely watch their pre-game and halftime shows because they bore me. Plus, they don't have a post-game show. And Mark Jackson is one of the worst NBA commentators I've ever heard. It pains me to listen to him. In my opinion, Jeff Van Gundy is the only good thing about the NBA broadcasts on ESPN/ABC.

The NBA TV crew is OK, nothing special.

I love the guys at TNT. They are pure entertainment. They get off-topic, but you have to remember they're on TV a lot longer than the guys at ESPN/ABC. Sometimes they don't get off air until 2 a.m, so they have to find a way to keep things interesting. I know I wouldn't stay up til 2 a.m if all they did was talk about basketball.

TNT > ESPN/ABC

The ABC guys are boring, and count me in the minority but I think JVG SUCKS!!! He says something stupid every broadcast. Mark Jackson is a Kobe nut hugger. The TNT guys have their biases too, but they're much more entertaining and more direct in their analysis.

I didn't really like Jeff Van Gundy as a commentator at first, but he's grown on me for some reason.

Maybe it's because Mark Jackson is so bad.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
