Court Surfing

Tim, Sid and Cabbie should host it.

Tim, Sid and Cabbie should host everything. Those guys are freaking awesome.

I could handle only 5 mins of footage if for the rest of the time it was those three doing their thing.

I only caught abit if it. Needless to say each time I turned to watch it the guys were just talking talking and talking. I have rapstv so I was watching the bos/hou game but whenever I turned to see CS it was either sherm and mark or those two other dudes talking.

They went out of the house to get the new hosts and I think we have to give them a week or two more before they get slammed.

Sometimes I think the "urban" thing is way overdone in regards to basketball. I mean not eveyone that watches NBA is a "urban" dude. I have white friends that consider themselves "urban" and black friends that do not. Sometimes the crappy beats and posturing cheapen NBA ball for me. For example, I watch Raps games sometimes with the volume down, listening to some Dylan or Sly and The Family and get stoned. Surely not every Raptor fan listens to Jeezy or T-Pain and I am sure that the range of Raps fans and thier tastes are much broader.

I still think Adnan Virk should do it. Although the Score has had success with previous NBA XL hosts like Cabbie and Nikki Reyes, so maybe that is why they are trying Strong.

We will see.

OT - cabbie takes 8 takes before he can actually get his segments down
when he came to western a couple years back for homecoming i met him.. he's just as cool and funny in real life

I used to love NBA XL with Cabbie and Nam, then Mark Strong showed up and it was awful.

I love court surfing even if Adnan Virk can be a little corny, now Mark Strong shows up and shockingly enough it was awful.

Here's hoping he won't be a permanent host, his empty analysis and forced ebonics kill me.

Bump.

No excuses this week. 8 games on tonight. They better have cut the bullsh*t. I'm in no mood to watch these bozos talk all night.

On Rogers it says Hosted by Adnan Virk, a rotating glimpse at NBA games etc...

Was Virk on last week? Hopefully they show more games tonight.

Still have the DJ. Still have the live audience. Still have about 5 hosts. Still have the "Shot clock" apparently. Still have Mark Strong. **** this.

Ok anyone watching this? They were just playing the Bobcats/Nuggets, but the audio feed was from Cavs/Bucks. WTF.

Hendrix · Post #51 » by **Hendrix** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 12:44 am

They played a bunch of junk, but it's on the Cavs game. Hopefully they stick with it for a bit. Atleast the Lakers, Mavs game is on Raptors tv soon.

lol wow this is so stupid and pointless.

Go back to Adnan or just one studio analyst ... lose the dj and the whole urban theme...and the pointless live audience.

This show has become a Train wreck

It's unwatchable.

I can't believe how down hill the show has gone. Mark Strong needs to go and so do the DJ's.

I honestly can't watch this garbage, the games now have become second fiddle to all their features.

It's a shame, it was such a simple yet awesome concept. Show good parts of bunches of games. Why would they even consider changing it? The ratings must have been terrible for changes this drastic. Oh well, at least they have Court Cuts.

I do understand that many basketball fans (myself included) enjoy hip-hop, and I also appreciate the fact that the show's producers wanted to shake things up for this season, but why must they rely on this cookie cutter urban theme? I'm almost waiting for Flavor Flav to "yeahhh boyyy" it across the screen, and for the break dancers to bust in and start serving people.

If they didn't have any original ideas whatsoever, they should have just kept it simple and left things the way they were.

Raps bomb the Court Surfing blog comment section like last week?

Good thing for rapstv. I can just watch the Lakers/Mavs game instead of hoping they would play it on CS.

wow I have to say that this is brutal. This is my first chance to catch Court Surfing this season, and it has changed so much. I have had it on for 17 minutes and have only seen about 30 seconds of a Cavs game so far.
What the hell is up with like 8 minutes of Sneaker promotions?

Well it's definitely better than last weeks court surfing at least they are showing some games this time.
