    Agreed. I think Shaq adds a lot to an already great team.

    Hated Shaq at first but think he has really blended in nicely with that crew! Agree with you on the studio shows, hell I barely listen to the announcers when watching the actual games, they so very rarely add anything of substance and that's just on the regional/local broadcasts, just about every national crew gets the mute treatment from me. Would love for more feeds with just the arena noise and no voices over the action. Announcers were necessary back in the days of old black/white tiny TVs and without knowing the ins and outs of the teams. Now with 4k TVs and the internet allowing us to know the teams backwards and forwards, it really feels like the voices are unnecessary.

    Any Google search on HCP that doesn't bring @theprunetang up as a top result doesn't have RC2 history worked into their algorithm and is therefore invalid.

    It's kind of funny how ESPN, who is supposed to be great at sports broadcasting, has done such a poor job with the NBA. Their pregame shows (on ESPN and ABC), halftime and post game shows (if they even have one) are never worth watching.

    It's a shame that Inside The NBA will probably not continue if they leave TNT, although I understand Ernie's loyalty.

    There isn't a single draw to watch ESPN or ABC games like there is with TNT games.

    Ideally, games stay on TNT and the ESPN/ABC tenure stops. But it sounds like Peacock is going after TNT's contract and not ESPNs.

    The fact they keep going back to ESPN, which puts on crappy product (quick: name me one of their commentators), is a joke.

    Something I didn't realize (don't know if it was posted)


    According to the Wall Street Journal report, NBC will televise two primetime games each week and the package will include both regular season and postseason games. By comparison, WBD does not own any broadcast network and with cord-cutting, TNT has been steadily losing household subscribers. Per Nielsen, in October 2014, when the last NBA media rights agreement was announced, TNT had a TV household penetration of 82.4%, it has since plummeted to 53.6%.

    I'm always surprised that people watch any pre/half/post game shows on any network.

    I love TNT's with these guys, but couldn't care less about any others.

    I also used to love Steve Jones and Mike Rice.

    What southern bells like the hcp don't understand is that the grownups who do not live on the ticktocks do not put strange characters before someone's moniker before they Google them.

    That's a good point. The NBA wants it's games to be available to as many households as possible. Looks like NBC is the best option to accomplish that now.

    Honestly not sure which I want more.... the TNT inside the NBA group, or

    Return of John Tesh NBA on NBC theme.

    2002 was when it went to ABC, so that will be 24 years!

    Would Bob Costas come back to NBC?

    What about Bill Walton?
