Jeff Van Gundy, the lead game analyst for ESPN's and ABC's coverage of the NBA, implies that his brother Stan's deal to join the network did not work out because the league blocked the move.

In an interview with USA Today Sports, Jeff Van Gundy said that his brother, who was fired in May after five seasons as coach of the Orlando Magic, "had a basic agreement" with ESPN "and then something changed."

"There's certainly circumstantial evidence that something from the outside -- presumably the NBA -- changed (ESPN's) thinking," Jeff Van Gundy told USA Today. "As a broadcaster of the NBA, it gives you pause. How forthcoming can you be? You don't want your honesty to cost you a chance at employment."

An ESPN spokesperson told USA Today that the network "had discussions with Stan, and we were interested in a role for him at ESPN. Ultimately, we moved in a different direction."

God damn it Jeff don't get "fired"!

Double team on Lillard?

Is it all off the ball cuts or has he actually worked the post or scored off an iso situation once?

I haven't seen Batum post up anyone this preseason. I didn't even know he had a post game. He's always camped on the perimeter or cutting to the basket.

That was the first time I've seen a quarter end and they go right into the next quarter with no break.


Golden State didn't even bother to broadcast this game on radio or tv.

It's like PR holding back review copies until release day.
