He's going to do that regardless. ESPN pays him millions to be AngryBlackGuy

aka - "My superiors need you to keep watching ABC instead of switching to NBA TV for a real post game"

he's not even on abc though is he? at least on the west coast in los angeles it just jumps to local news station postgame reports and cuts to the postgame interviews. no steven A to be found.

Since I'm a degenerate gambler I put some cash on that. I can't see LeBron getting swept.

first time for everything. people also though no one would ever match the bulls record

 

[Rainy]

Yeah I think the Cavs will win tonight too. Somehow.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

It's funny that people are still saying this after he's been humiliated defensively and mostly inept offensively in his four outings against the Warriors this season:

December 25 - 4 of 15, 13 points, Cavs loss

January 18 - 3 of 11, 8 points, Cavs loss

Game 1 - 7 of 22, 26 points, Cavs loss (dreadful efficiency despite high production)

Game 2 - 5 of 14, 10 points, Cavs loss

Please explain how Kyrie is "the man" or how he is "going to beast" in Game 3. If anything, Kyrie has been fraudulent against GS - dude is getting exposed.

SAS said Warriors are making 78% of their shots on Kyrie lol.

Second time. The Spurs swept LeBron's Cavs in the '07 Finals.

Might just be a west coast thing then, similar to how 60 Minutes follows NFL games except on the west coast.

i know that...i assumed that he was talking about abc the channel...since more people will be watching that and not the espn broadcast.

 

[Nafai1123]

I'm sticking with my prediction that the Cavs take the game tonight, just don't ask me how.

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm hoping for a blowout win from the Cavs just to see how stupid the media can get.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

LeBron has ALREADY been swept in the Finals so no, this wouldn't be a "first time for everything."

The initial reaction was on ESPNEWS because Giants/Cardinals was still ongoing on ESPN.

They went back to him later on when everyone in Oracle had already cleared out.

 

[i3allistic]

Biggest winner so far is in this series is David Blatt

 

[Ninja Scooter]

anyone else think it's weird that Magic and Larry are touching butts?

 

[Chezzymann]

I miss the TNT crew
ABC/ESPN isnt the same

 

[Gully State]

Biggest winner so far is in this series is David Blatt

Why? He's going to coach in Turkey.

 

[Line_HTX]

If only the NBA Finals went to CBS, then we would see the TNT crew.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Watch the game muted and listen to Kevin Calabro and Hubie Brown.

100% better Finals.

 

[Bread]

Damn dat ass

 

[The 18th Letter]

Shaq and Kenny are on NBA TV. Ernie isn't there unfortunately and was replaced by Matt Winer, huge downgrade there but to balance that out Chuck is gone and Grant Hill was in his place.

 

[i3allistic]

Why? He's going to coach in Turkey.

Blatt >> Lue ...just cuz Blatt had 2 wins from last year playoff ....LOL

 

[Fjordson]

I like Mike Breen on play-by-play, but Jackson and Van Gundy kinda suck.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I'm going to go with the Warriors. And people who don't believe in karma.

Watch the game muted and listen to Kevin Calabro and Hubie Brown.

100% better Finals.

Hubie is my favorite (next to Bill Walton). I love commentators who actually teach me about the game while I watch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Damn dat ass

Magic was packin'. Larry got some booty too.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Kevin Calabro >>> Breen

 

[this_guy]

I like Van Gundy. He's not afraid to call out the refs. Jackson sucks however.

 

[bchamba]

Hyped to see a hungry, desperate LeBron tonight. If the Cavs are gonna win one it's gonna be this game and he's going to have to be a monster.

I like Van Gundy. He's not afraid to call out the refs. Jackson sucks however.

Jackson is so salty over the Warriors

 

[Gigglepoo]

I like Van Gundy. He's not afraid to call out the refs. Jackson sucks however.

Van Gundy is really smart but he spends so much time taking on the refs or the media that he ignores what's going on in front of him. He's much better when he's on Zach Lowe's podcast and has to just break down the game.

 

[i3allistic]

I'm going to go with the Warriors. And people who don't believe in karma.

word, after Blatt got fired ...i wanted Kerr to hire him as a Assist. Coach for the Warriors

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Hubie is my favorite (next to Bill Walton). I love commentators who actually teach me about the game while I watch.

Hubie is a gotdamn national treasure. Love that he roots for individual guys on both teams that struggle and finally hit a shot. "There you go!"

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's kind of telling that the Knicks, Kings and (IIRC) Rockets didn't bother calling in Blatt for a 2nd interview. He might have terrible people skills.

 

[Bread]

Magic was packin'. Larry got some booty too.

They didn't skip squat day! Bring back the short shorts, nba.

 

[Fjordson]

I dunno. Van Gundy used to be entertaining, but his whole outrage thing got kinda old imo.

"That is ridiculous! The league needs to start suspending floppers for an entire season! I mean c'mon!"

"That's terrible! If a 3 banks in it shouldn't count! What a joke! That's ridiculous!"

Van Gundy is really smart but he spends so much time taking on the refs or the media that he ignores what's going on in front of him. He's much better when he's on Zach Lowe's podcast and has to just break down the game.

Yes, I think that's it. He's a smart guy, but his broadcast personality is a little stale for me.

 

[Gully State]

I wish the NBA would somehow let the team broadcasters call the games. I'd love to see JB do commentary for a finals game.

 

[LyleLanley]

It's kind of telling that the Knicks, Kings and (IIRC) Rockets didn't bother calling in Blatt for a 2nd interview. He might have terrible people skills.

I can't imagine someone going from coaching the the Cavs to the Rockets. Seems cruel.

word, this his last season too

This is a good impression lol

No Fitz???

"The Warriors are a really good team looking for more really big rings!"

Wait what? Barnett? I haven't heard this.

 

[Line_HTX]

Them 80s booty was FAT.

 

[Bread]

Isn't Blatt being paid millions by Cavs to not coach them? I'd say he made out pretty well, plus he's coaching in Turkey which is awesome.

 

[Stat Flow]

Breen is the GOAT play by play caster.

 

[this_guy]

As someone who lives in Houston I don't know if the national audience can handle our homer announcers.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Walton is the GOAT analyst.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Listen to it on radio.

 

[Fjordson]

Breen is the GOAT play by play caster.

Yeah, I like Breen.

I think Kevin Harlan is really good also, his voice can get intense lol.

Marv Albert is also amazing imo, I've been watching him for so long his phrases are like seared in my brain.

"Lebron puts the speed on!

"Curry with a series of moves!"

"Thompson fires for 3...Yes!!"

 

[RedAssedApe]

anyone else think it's weird that Magic and Larry are touching butts?

isn't that what the ad is about?

LeBron has ALREADY been swept in the Finals so no, this wouldn't be a "first time for everything."

damnit...well then

 

[MezzoForte]

I will never forget when Breen was all like "Curry, way down town, BANG... BANG!!!!" against the Thunder.

 

[CopperPuppy]

It's kind of telling that the Knicks, Kings and (IIRC) Rockets didn't bother calling in Blatt for a 2nd interview. He might have terrible people skills.

I'm stunned that he didn't find a gig anywhere else.

 

[Rainy]

Speaking of commentators, imagine if Gus Johnson called the NCAA National Championship Game.

 

[i3allistic]

Wait what? Barnett? I haven't heard this.

ops, look like im kinda outdated myself, warriors wanted him out for brent berry, but brent didnt take the job and the dubs fan were upset so they decided to keep Jim.

 

[alr1ght]

Speaking of commentators, imagine if Gus Johnson called the NCAA National Championship Game.

Yeah, I'd have it on mute.
