TBA's dead (again) with the main producer leaving ESPN and it's not clear if ESPN is going to revive it in any way or stick with Lockdown and The Jump. I'd love to see a return of the Windhorst versions because it hit a nice balance of content and fun. The non-ESPN people have gone and started The Basketball Friends, which so far has zero basketball content and is a little high on its own farts.

Going to try Dunc'ed On, Open Floor, and The Starters.

Oh for real? I thought they were just on vacation or something, I guess that explains why there hasn't been a new one in awhile.

And yeah two hours of Zach Harper laughing at his own jokes is gonna get a hard pass from me

Histories should stay with cities when franchises move. I can't imagine anyone in Utah cares about Pistol Pete's time as a Jazzman. He only played in Utah for 17 games or so. Meanwhile in NOLA at Champions Square.

They should have actually shown up when the team was there then imo

I would recommend the mock offseason if you're trying out Dunc'ed On, because it gives a good impression of their ability to predict the NBA as far as how the cap works. They were pretty accurate in being incredibly wary of big deals going down signing-wise before free agency started.

if the nba had listened to me and forced NOLA to name themselves the Swing instead of the fuckin Pelicans they could be the spiritual successor if not in fact

No. Jazz is/was NOLA birthed totally. Swing wasn't, it was more N.Y. and Chicago. Schwinggg however

Zogo posted:


Pete Maravich was such a gigantic chucker that he'd probably nullify the other two. It's the same situation the Lakers faced in the 1960s with Elgin Baylor derailing West/Goodrich and other teammates. It isn't a coincidence that the LA Lakers won their first title after Elgin left the team.

I don't think Maravich ever played with quality like Dr. J. because he was a passing wizard as well as a gunner.

Most of the funny contributors are/were not employed by ESPN. Only Amin El-Hassan is still there
I guess if you like windhorse he'll probably move to Lowe Post or Lockdown, which is awful because of Pablo Torre and the other guy being wet blankets.

Some people enjoy basketball thoughts based on reality and not "gut" feelings? Their live shows are pretty good at breaking down the NBA at an advanced level, especially if you want to learn to watch off-ball.

Do you think Kyrie Irving will ever play defense?

What's Boston's starting five? Kyrie, Smart, Hayward, Morris, Horford?
Then Rozier, somebody, somebody, Brown, Baynes, Yabusele is injured, minutes for Tatum somewhere, I don't know if they're going to play 10 guys again, I don't know if that's a Brad Stevens thing or was necessitated by their roster
