    One more fired-coach-turned-expert-because-he-has-a-microphone to add to the stable. Fantabulous.

    JVG was solid. Avery sounds dead when he analyzes

    Bah. I hate it when crap like this happens. No offense to Avery or JVG or any other coach/player turned analysis. staff writer, whatever...but there are people that actually go to college to do things like this, and these guys are taking jobs from those people....and it annoys me.

    Avery Johnson???

    I probably won't even bothering watching halftime. I'm amused at the Avery pick, I never thought his voice was fit for commentating...

    He really should be coaching somewhere in the NBA. I think Gregg Popovich will step down sometime in the future, and give Avery the Spurs job, and make him a Jerry Sloan/Gregg Popovich/Phil Jackson long term kind of coach.

    The ABC/ESPN crew is horrible! TNT kills them and should be on every day!

    FTR, I think Stephen A is pretty entertaining. He's not my chosen source of basketball analysis, but his rants kill me.

    I think Steven A. Smith could fit in quite well at TNT, with Ernie Johnson, Kenny, and Charles to keep him in check. He'd be better than Magic was imo.

    Who is going to replace Magic as the 4th announcer now?

    Stephen A would be awesome to have on TNT. That place would be crazy as hell.

    Please say no to C-Webb.

    Maybe Gary Payton?!
