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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
