PG Nets: WIN!

Novak is not bearable no matter who he's matched up with. I imagine Marques is back for the cup game Tuesday night. But Lisa will probably be back too.

Extremely high Bball IQ. I remember in the Boston game, there was a possession where he pushed it in transition and waved to Giannis to run with him. He spotted Pritchard in a mismatch, drew a double team, and got Giannis an easy dunk. Very calming presence on the floor.

There are only a few broadcasts around the league that I enjoy. The quality has really dropped off recently.

That's one thing that has really challenged a lot in the NBA over the past 20+ years. The quality of announcers on both TV and radio has really fallen off.

20+ years ago the NBA seemed like a hotbed of hall of fame level announcers.

Now there are only a handful that are even halfway decent.

That is all.

Save some money and just simulcast tv and radio with him.

Saying the Nets announcers are an abomination is letting them off easy.

I watched the Buck's broadcast today, but the Nets announcers are the reason the mute button was created.

Yes, Novak shouldn't be compared to Lisa. Her knowledge of the Bucks is much better now and she has good chemistry with Marques. But I like the guy today better.

Novak is in the company of George Thompson from Marquette as a broadcaster, may he rest in peace.

He does have a good bbiq.

But every player has a weak spot. And KMs is thinking he can put the dribble in front of him and not get it stripped. He had no turnovers today. Keep it up.

Novak wasn't as annoying as he usually is, I thought Koehn made him bearable.

On a different Novak related note, how the hell did Novak get invited to the Knick's alumni night last night. It was some of the Knick's greats like Sprewell, Allan Houston, John Starks, Bernard King and then for some reason Steve Novak was there too....lol.

I really like the Hornets play by play guy, he's a lot of fun.

I don't want my play by play guy literally yelling at everything. He was better before he got popular on twitter.

Khris was directing Bobby where to be in the zone defense today. Kind of funny that the guy directing is the guy who hasn't practiced directing the guy who never misses a day. Hey, whatever works.

The definition of someone who just can't help himself and LOL can't hide it.

Schedule seems pretty soft to end the year: Magic (without Wagner), Cleveland, but then a whole bunch of bad teams. Could finish the year 6-7 games over .500.

Bucks shot 68 shots.... and won. That is wild.

True, but those NBA Cup games in Vegas will be tough.

Yeah, allowing continuation after the whistle has to stop. That should have been a jump ball.

Better than Lisa but I like his replacement on the radio much better. He is mid, just the opinion of someone who listens to 80% of games on radio. Let's aim higher
