Is Gladman referring to his own departure here?

He seemed like a good guy on some of those NBA TV Canada talk shows, but he was terrible at that job. But I didn't notice any improvement after he left, there was always one or 2 replays per game that caused you to miss part of another play in live actin. Or else a closeup of the bench or the player who just scored, meanwhile a steal or quick shot has happened and they miss it, or come back abruptly in mid-play

Think he is talking about his own departure.. Too bad the production team struggled cause he does seem like a good guy.

I actually thought the quality decreased after he left. Altho not surprising until the new person gets processed down right

ESPN NBA commentator Mark Jones will serve as the official host.

How is Mark Jones gonna find a way to slander Canada, with the state of the US right now, lol.

Anyone have a guess?

lol, he’s actually toned it down this season. I’m pretty sure he’s called a few Raps games for ABC/ESPN. I wonder if it’s because he’s usually working with a true professional like Doris Burke or Hubie Brown. Kinda hard to be a troll when they’re doing colour commentary.

I don’t follow him on Twitter though so maybe he’s still a clown on social media.

The playoffs would have started tomorrow if the season was still on

Damn, also with all this Vegas/LA talk about a neutral site to play in may/august, playoffs won't even feel legit.

feels like the season is over....hard to see it continuing considering the players aren't in game shape, it'll be tough just throwing them into the playoffs.

Also, a lot of players who won’t make the playoffs are playing for their next contracts. It would be difficult to sell the NBAPA on starting the playoffs immediately upon the start of basketball play.

I know but watching it live and seeing the reactions with Twitter/my friends makes up for not having an actual sports game to watch

True, I can relate. My wifi connection kept booting me from IG Live last night so I missed the Babyface va teddy Riley event live. Would’ve been nice to watch with everyone else rather than watching it tonight

Has there been any updates about the league possibly playing out the playoffs in Vegas?

I'll have the "end of the season" when Lowry lifts that bulbous chunk of gold again. Thanks.

Well the German Soccer League just announced that they are playing games again starting two weeks from now. I guess their athletes only need two weeks to get back into game shape.

Makes me wonder why our NBA players think they need more time than that.

The Germans plan to be playing in empty arenas. We should be doing the same thing.
