It has probably happened more recently than I can remember, but it would feel super weird if we went through a full offseason with no coaching changes. Hoiberg is the only one that seems to be in any danger right now. All the bad teams are at various stages of a rebuild where a new coach wouldn't help anything, and (outside of the Bulls) it doesn't feel like any of the middling teams significantly underachieved to justify firing the coach. On announcer chat, I'd take Reggie over Mark Jackson any day. Reggie tries to do his job well, he's just kinda dumb. Mark Jackson is dumb, whiny, passive-aggressive, and has no self-awareness. zoux posted:I'm not sure there's a color guy in the NBA that approaches how terrible color commentators in the NFL are. This is probably because most NFL color commentators have early onset dementia from CTE.

Mark Jackson is dumb, whiny, passive-aggressive, and has no self-awareness. Reggie Miller is two or three of those four and also has a stupid voice and also is Reggie Miller. Reggie remains my pick for the worst.

Reggie is way worse than Mark Jackson (still #2) to me, but I also think Mark Jackson's catch phrases are kind of funny

Honestly, Reggie (or any other announcer) could snore into the mic for full games and I'd probably still rank them higher than Jackson once I remembered "the great ones tell their body not today."

 I don't mind Reggie, but his voice can get annoying sometimes and he does say stupid stuff. I loving hate Mark Jackson with a passion though. The college guys on ESPN are way worst though.

I have heard Reggie on Podcasts and interviews not sound like an rear end in a top hat. He might not be great at his job, but he still seems pretty cool outside of it. I have never heard a moment of Mark Jackson where he wasn't sounding like an rear end in a top hat. Dexo fucked around with this message at 22:06 on May 2, 2017 |

The worst thing about Jackson is how he regularly derails Van Gundy, a generally insightful and likeable announcer, with his stupid tangents and asides that have very little to do with the game. JVG will point out how team a are defending the pick and roll poorly and need to change their scheme only for Jackson to barge in about how JVGs suit is crumpled tonight and he didn't iron it could he not find the iron in the hotel room hohohohoho or some similar bullshit and they yak it up for two minutes whilst the game goes on JVG never comes back to finish his point.

reggie miller is terrible to me he sounds like he was given a list of stupid talking points and instead of trying to naturally work them into the commentary he just straight up reads them on air. no one sounds more like a shill/company man more than reggie, to me.

JVG will point out some things and be good, but then he will rant for 5 minutes about a star not getting a call while ignoring every other time it happens. I liked Webber, Doris and Webber for all games.

I guess I find it surreal and enjoyable when the Breen, Jackson, and Van Gundy group argue about caramel apples being sold in stadiums for three minutes of a NBA basketball game. Doris Burke and Bill Walton are the dream team, though.

I find Mark Jackson tolerable only because it must make him mad that the Warriors blew all the way up and are so much better without him as coach; I love me some good schadenfreude Hubie is a good announcer because it's obvious he still knows a ton about the game, but he is getting up there in years

I assume it is about defense but I never got the man down part if you don't raise your hands to contest a shot then you're not defending a shot in any way that "man down" part is just for the rhyme, but its really that simple. when someone shoots, put a hand up, otherwise you're not in the play at all

At this point rather than having announcers I'd rather hear what's being said in the owners suites or have the coaches be miked all 48 minutes. It'd be a lot more enlightening than hearing the hackneyed catchphrases and superfluous chatter for the thousandth time. Leave that junk for the new newcomers. Mark Jackson reached a new low when he was praising Rondo for a long time for not quitting on the Bulls etc. So much empty, hollow praise. Dude played like trash for most of the season and then gets mountains of praise for showing up to a couple playoff games. alansmithee posted:Also, why doesn't Lue and the Cavs coaching staff get any credit for their high-powered offense? You hear tons about Dantoni, and Kerr and others but the Cavs coaches never seem to come up, even though their offense is obviously top tier and they gun threes as much as anybody. Is it just because everyone assumes it's all Lebron's doing or what? The Cavaliers easily being the best 3P team this season is one of the underreported stories. Kawhi's been the #1 shooter by far in the playoffs while LMA, Gasol, Green and Ginobili have all been negative shooters through seven.

Hey guys what's Anthony Bennett up toquote:Former No. 1 NBA Draft pick Anthony Bennett has hit another bump in his professional career. Bennett, drafted first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013, was already out of the NBA. And after this week, he's off his pro team in Turkey as his Turkish Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL) squad cut him during its playoff turn. oh

alansmithee posted:The only issue that I could even theoretically see is Durant gumming up the offense with his ball-stopping (which I always thought ironic how talking heads talked about Russ not wanting to share the ball and not having a pass-heavy offense in OKC where Durant often does the same in GS, but w/e). But even then you're having the ball stopped by like one of the top 3 offensive dudes in the league so it's still kinda whatever. They're almost a comically stacked team. yeah, this isn't true.

More NBA Playgrounds gameplay. Gameplay doesn't look as tight as NBA Jam On Fire Edition. Hopefully this is good and not loaded with micro transactions. Comes out next week so we will know soon enough. Lol at the teams used to show off gameplay. Reggie Jackson and Kris Humphries vs Harrison Barnes and Harrison Barnes. The commentary is worse than Jam or Street. Gameplay starts at about 4:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zII2BpVlvLM Everyone looks to be about the same height. So many little things feel off about this video. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 23:42 on May 2, 2017 |
