Bill Walton was a HoF commentator, tbh.... he was likely on shrooms or LCD while doing games...
JVG is also one of the best color guys on TV... he just runs circles around preacher/reggie

That was just bizzare.
This is a sad comment on the viewing audience.Quote:

I didn't move the goalposts. VanGundys point was that he doesn't get the same calls that other stars do. I agree with that.Quote:

:lol thought the same thing. Why the fuck would the spurs foul when they have the ball!? And he kept harping on it like a dumbass.
A Bill Walton autograph is one of my most cherished NBA possessions, tbh... his "Is <insert player name> the best, most impactful NBA player right now?" comments are a classic...Quote:

He was commenting a Nets-Spurs game for ESPN when I met him. He was very gracious. But, it hurt just to watch him walk. Probably the main reason he stopped doing games for ESPN. I've seen him lately doing college games, so I'm glad he's still around.Quote:

LOL... if that's really true, then it's one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen a player do AND an unforgivable thing for a ref to do. Why would a ref rescind a foul that he saw happen? Are the refs seriously doing whatever a coach tells them to do? Pop says, "I didn't want a foul there" and so the guy decides not to call it?Quote:

Yup.Quote:

I really just wanted an excuse to post this http://youtu.be/p43HkdcNwrA
I got really annoyed with all the "The Warriors are so great to only be down X points." Yeah they weren't shooting as good as normal but neither were the Spurs so that cancels out. Why was there almost no comment on how the Spurs were shutting down the best offense in the league.
Also when Kawhi got the offensive rebound up 5 to basically seal the game, thought it was really dumb that somehow all three commentators had nothing to say.... just pure silence like their dog just got shot.
Ira Newble, the original Spur with braids :lolQuote:

I think he needs to do that too, and I mentioned it a few games back, but I know that Pop has told them to let him do the talking to the officials. That would be great if Pop were actually getting anywhere with the officials on his players' behalf, but instead the Spurs have become the team with the fewest FTA in the league.Quote:
