Now that the finals are over, I was thinking TNT should televise some of the finals games. In 4 games, you don't notice it, but when it's 7 games you notice something is missing from your NBA games. It's not just Kenny, Charles, and Ernie. As much as I don't like Doug Collins' opinions I do enjoy his commentating. Same with the other TNT announcer. I can do without Reggie. Am I the only one who felt like something was missing throughout the NBA finals? Does anyone else want to see at least 3 games on TNT?
I honestly think Marv Albert or Kevin Harlan with Doug Collins is better than the Mike Breen/Marc/JVG trio. Mark Jackson keeps saying that stupid "hand down mand down" phrase which is annoying as hell, and JVG tries too hard to be funny.
Maybe they should just alternate broadcasters... Having the trio broadcast for all seven games is what makes their commentating stale.
Reggie and Mark Jackson suck. I like having Barkley after the game and at half time. Jeff Van Gundy is solid during the game though
Mark Jackson brings ZERO insight everytime his mic is on. He either really, REALLY agrees with JVG or he's really, REALLY against it. It's like, c'mon Mark, you don't have to ALWAYS take a position on what Breen and JVG says. I'm not shocked at all that Jackson hasn't landed a coaching job yet and I'm 100% sure it's because he can't even analyze a play or a game as an analyst without help from JVG. At least he's better than Stuart "I can't go in depth with anything so I'm going to throw out the most obscure stats just to wow you" Scott.
don't like Jackson, but JVG and Mike Breen are definitely fun to listen to. I don't care for Doug Collins but Kevin Harlan isn't bad at all. I was actually glad they had it on ABC this year. JVG made the series so much better.
Dream trio: Dick "I couldn't tell you who that player was if he came up and slapped me in the face and turned his back to me, showing his name" Stockton Hubie "I can spit out more statistics in a 20 second span than anyone else in the history of NBA broadcasting even if half of my stats are probably wrong" Brown Mark "I don't need to say anything intelligent because I popularized the phrase 'I'm. Gonna. Do. ME!'" Jackson Universe explodes
The biggest games for any sports will always be local instead of basic cable, Superbowl, world series, NBA final ect...
No thanks... ABC does a phenomenal job. Plus, TNT lacks the money. They got the Final Four.... they're never going to get the NBA Finals from ESPN/ABC.
Mark Jackson is incredibly irritating, JVG is ok but seems to have an agenda (e.g. bashing ORL players to deflect any responsibility from his brother)
when you listen to him, it's understandable why Jackson can't get a coaching job but I hope he gets one soon so we wont have to listen to him
How about they at least merge Inside the NBA with the NBA Finals on ABC. I think Kenny, and Charles make basketball more interesting than any of the pre/post-game shows on ABC.
