Gave up 146 to Miami tonight.

Plus they traded the wrong guy when they moved Bane instead of Ja Morant.

It seemed like a really stupid firing. I also thought it was goofy that they fired Jorger at the time, but maybe there were more problems there than I knew.

Jokic looks really out of shape to me.

That is a good thing right? He end up with a triple double and blow out PHX.

I just thought it was very strange.

Luka had 19 FTA’s against us. I know it’s poor sportsmanship, but I’m happy he’s hurt. The league rewards players for jumping into defenders.

There were 67 instances where a player took 15+ FTAs in a single game last season.

There have already been 11 in the first week of this season, including 4 last night.

The refs should call the game according to the rules. Offensive players should not be allowed to continuously push the defender away with their off hand. They do it over and over and over and over again. Offensive players should not be allowed to back down the defender by ramming them with their ass over and over and over and over again.

Note: This is NOT the setup for our game tonight. It sounds like we have just Grady and Grant Hill. Next Monday though in Brooklyn, our broadcast will be set up this way with this crew and we get Macaroni Tony!

I have no faith in them. People still have them among the top contenders though.

It seems like their potential is tied to Kawhi's health, but even still is probably going to land them in the "muck" if all goes well.

Another big-time sports announcer, now part of the Prime Video broadcasting team after being part of the TNT coverage. You might not know the name, but you surely know the voice.

Also fun fact, the son was part of NBC's most recent Summer Olympics coverage, calling men's basketball games with Dwyane Wade.

Ahh that explains it, he was Nets main voice for past decades. Joining national tv scene for NBA now? Otherwise would probably known the name if he was in similar big roles like Kevin Harlan (the best), Mike Breen or Marv Albert etc.



I definitely dont recognise the name or face. But the voice is somewhat familiar.



His son has way more memorable voice, for the reason I mentioned earlier lol I wonder if anyone ever asked him to do a Stewie voice.
