    It seems next years is the last year of their
    contract with the NBA . . .anyone think Fox
    may take a run at the NBA?

    I hope so . . . I want to see MORE GAMES
    MORE OFTEN so put them on NBC, CBS and FOX!

    Well, if the NBA does leave NBC, somebody needs to let me know where I can get an MP3 of the NBA on NBC theme song...One of the best instrumental theme songs ever made, along with the original theme to Monday Night Football

    I doubt NBC will let the NBA go. They lost the NFL and MLB. They'll do what it takes to keep the NBA.

    If this is the last year for the NBA, which would not surprise me, given Fox's domination of the league, that means the end of Bill Walton and Snapper Jones. YES!!!!! There IS a God!

    Is anybody else sick and tired of listening to Bill Walton talk about how Keith Closs is the next Hakeem Olajuwon and how the Bucks will definitely beat the Lakers this year? His gross exaggerations and bad information are surely a thorn in NBC"s side. The league has exiled him to Clipper Land, so why does NBC keep picking him for national broadcasts?

    We are so lucky in Houston. Bill Worrell is the best there is. He gives it to you straight, he doesn't play favorites, and he doesn't whine about every call by the refs. Calvin is a big-time homer, but it's OK because Bill keeps him in line. "Have another cookie, Calvin."

    Walton has to go.

    DcRock- I believe you are correct, I heard it once on Conan O'brien.

    Bring back this theme. The original, not some lame rework of it. Other than that, don't care.

    Don't be surprised if after this next round of TV deals guys like Giannis and Jokic will be making North of 100M a year. This cap is about to spike big time.

    I missed the way NBC and Costas made every game seem epic during the pregame.
