TNT is a superior network...they are the 90's NBC of today...I, like many others really enjoy Ernie, Chuck and Jet...I'll even stomach Reggie and Magic vs. some of the slumps they have on ABC most times...

I agree, but they'll never agree to put it on a cable network... even though ratings would probably go up.

They all suck. NBC will forever be superior. Its completely unwatchable on ABC.

I agree TNT is better, but ABC isn't bad. JVG and Mark Jackson make up for the boring stuff and make people laugh. I would rather have TNT, but of course it's the finals, not everyone has cable.

JVG and Jackson aren't terrible, but they always have to combine them with Breen, who sucks. And then Hubie is too old to be broadcasting anything. He doesn't even know what he's saying.
If they could consistently use a team of Tirico, JVG, and Jackson, I could live with that.

I absolutely agree they need to
TNT is big-time and their presentation and broadcast crew are excellent. ABC/ESPN are inferior to TNT. Only like a few of their announcers.
They need to get a national channel. TBS isn't one, I think.

Yeah having Jackson and SVG, or Hubie Brown commentate on the game along Mike Breen isn't bad. I just wish it isn't that Mike something guy who does MNF. Marv Albert or Kevin Harlan calling the finals would be amazing though.
TNT gets to call the WCF anyways, and that's the real NBA finals every year.

It's a travesty NBC doesn't have any games. They got football back, when will basketball follow the suit?
And their football presentation is great too, Keith Olbermann not withstanding. Collinsworth FTW.

I thought NBC was the greatest with the John Tesh music, it's more nostalgia than anything. I watched a Knicks - Bulls playoff game on vhs my friend had not too long ago & even though it's a better broadcast than those of today, it wasn't as good as I remembered. I think the NBA was just more popular back then (the jordan era). TNT is pretty good now but ESPN/ABC is garbage.

I love NBA on TNT, definitely should host the Finals. I can't stand ABC games, really boring.

Do you have a link showing that the NBA Finals will be on TNT instead of ABC?
