NBA Playoffs Thread - Play-in and 1st round edition

Murray should be there instead of Barnes… Brown’s mistake

 

It's not to each their own. You can love her all you want. That's subjective. Objectively, as a commentator, she's bad.

She's a fangirl. She gushes over her favorites over any little thing they do. Constantly. And she can do that to a degree if she adds strong insight in her analysis, but she doesn't. Her play-by-play partner actually did some of the color on the Kings-Warriors game at times.

It's the equivalent to listening to a somewhat informed fan.

Here's the worst of it, though; she basically said yesterday that Dillon Brooks was a bad player, that he wasn't athletic nor could he shoot. That came right with her line from "The Wire," which I did find clever.

That's bad for even a team's announcer. For a national announcer? That's just wrong. You can pick sides in your own head. You can call out dirty play. You can't make a player your target because he said something you didn't like about a player you like, though. It's unprofessional, whether you like her or not.

 

You didn't make one point that was objective.

 

I’m not sure what that is.

 

Nah that depth got them into the playoffs missing their stars all season.

 

Apparently, you don't know what objective is, or what being a journalist is.

She picked a side. Objectively, she picked a side. Objectively, she targeted a player because of something he said that she subjectively didn't agree with. Objectively, that's unprofessional.

Tell you what, Blazerkor, go look up in a dictionary what objective is and then get back to me then. Otherwise, stop being butthurt because you had a bad take on here the other day, I called you on it and you couldn't respond.

 

Change the first round back to the best of 5. 7 games in the first round is too much.

 

How can you “forget”, you literally post about that everyday bro.

 

Nah, Kings shit the bed.

 

So you don't seem to understand what the definition of objective is so here it is as far as the context you're using it in:

Expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations.

You aren't using facts to back up what you are saying they are all opinions about what being a journalist is or even the idea that a commentator for a sporting event is a journalist before being an entertainer. Honestly I don't disagree with you that Doris Burke is very hit and miss for me but that's an opinion.

Just because you have an informed opinion doesn't mean it becomes a fact or an objective reality.

Edit: Oh and I'm not sure what post or response from you that you're talking about. To me you're just another person on here that posts. I don't think you're specifically good or bad at it. No hard feelings at all.

 

Less basketball? Yeah that’s not a good idea.

 

Jaylen Brown is that player we need

 

And a worse lottery pick. Hell we might not even have been in the lottery.

 

Actually it is "to each their own". I think she is a fantastic announcer and I enjoy listening to her call games. You don't get to choose how I feel about her announcing, and I don't really appreciate your pretentious and condescending tone here. You are simply stating your opinion and calling it fact.

 

No. If we could have convinced Hart to stay in Portland that would have been the right move. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like he was interested in that.

 

still no one has posted the link to the interview that suggests Hart would not have re-signed here. Like 20 posters have referenced this.

i'm genuinely asking for this. anyone have it?

 

I don't think Josh ever said anything about it. I think it was reports from "journalists" about his wife not liking to fly and them not wanting to relocate from the east coast due to family and friends being out there. It doesn't seem like it's Hart's style to undermine his trade value by talking to the media about that type of situation. So I think what you're getting at is that this is all conjecture but most of what all of us do as fans is just speculation based on loosely sourced reports.

 

Kind of interesting thing I’ve noticed about Minny. They can go on runs where they look really good. Just can’t seem to sustain it?

 

this is a ridiculous collapse.

like tmac's 13 in 30 seconds kinda stuff.

minny is gonna implode if they drop this one.

 

That never happens on S2.
