He would just keep broadcasting through the pain.

Kayla has come a long way since she began. She is much more relaxed. Smiles more. More charismatic & engaging.

Savannah seemed to have trouble making those same adjustments.

Yeah the Alvin experiment is also a failure.

We got people saying she's great and one of the best sideline reporters.

We also got people saying she's terrible at her job.

I have no clue what to make of this news.

I don;t care who it is but at least ask the veterans some better questions. Just too much mindless fluff.

She was absolutely dreadful at… speaking. To me it always felt like she was trying to read off a prompter or something. Neve felt natural

Reps have generally done really good at finding strong female talent with Kate, Kayla, Kia, etc. but Savannah was a huge miss. Perhaps the strength of the first 3 made Sav look worse than she really was

There are a number of them out there who seem to have graduated from the School of Rod Black... Where it seems like you're reading off... of a teleprompter and... saying each line as if its... its own sentence if you... know what I mean.

The television side of the NBA is shockingly mediocre. Local, national, doesn't matter - it's all very blah.

Alvin is the real disaster and needs to go. No chemistry with Devlin and fumbles his lines all the time. Honestly I don’t watch as many games as before because the announcers are bad and all the stupid betting ads.

Rod Black w/be perfect. He provides the value added of being some kind of dude and being some measure of older than grade school posters.

Cause the only one who landed their job through merit is Devlin.

Rogers has a former nba player in Leo playing third fiddle to 3 female broadcasters for the halftime show.

He's got a story about his all-time-high scoring in HS, and damnit, he's gonna finish it.

(I've found that watching Raptors with the sound muted works best for me)

I find all three of those to be cringy to listen to. It's all just subjective taste.

I liked Sav, hope she gets another job

I absolutely do not listen to commentary on Raps games, 100%.

I'm not even talking just Toronto, national NBA on ESPN.

Pales in comparison to the NFL and I don't even like football.
