Chinook just standing up for dem' big ol' churro lovin' ladies of San Anto
I said that on RGM months ago. It's a horrible show. The best thing about the Spurs being bad recently is fewer TNT games.And then you say you aren't a contrarian.

Mostly agree, except I doubt that coon will retire after next season. Even had they not matched, he loves the attention and adulation too much to give it up.
He pretended in the mid 90s he was going to retire as a player, he's been pretending for years as a broadcaster that he doesn't love it as much as he clearly does (like Pop coaching); it's all part of the shtick.
Basketball analysis on TV remains mostly terrible.
"coon"? damn, i must have somehow logged onto another version of this universe where this forum is set in the Deep South during the 50's.
Way I see it: the analysis on mainstream TV is mediocre at best regardless of the network. Are we really going to act like Perkins and SAS on ESPN are providing actual valuable analysis? Do people think that NBC or any other network won’t end up offering the same surface level/low quality product in terms of actual analysis?
At least Inside the NBA is legitimately funny and entertaining. I don’t watch it for hard hitting basketball insights; it’s just an actually entertaining show that consistently makes me laugh (much more than I can say for ESPN or NBATV’s product). I hope they find a way to stay involved.
Yeah I kinda hate Inside lol but it reminds me of the mid 00s Spurs runs so it's kinda nostalgic and I hope they preserve it in the new deal
Inside has been coasting for a long time, jumped the shark probably 7-8 years ago.
What's this bull about?
He’s a racist asshole.
Man, you should watch some other sports. Baseball announcers can get into the nitty gritty of how pitches are thrown or shifts made, whatever. Yeah, it's a slower game, but they do. Premier League soccer teams do a good job of breaking down what teams are trying to do and so on.
Basketball is the ing worst. Pro-basketball, that is. College is still pretty good, but NBA commentators have to be asked to be the stupidest mother ers possible. No analysis, no discussion of what's going on. Yes, a good amount is the ESPN-ification of sports-u-tainment, just ing dreadful, sticking their tongues up the stars' asses (Durant or LeBron preferably) and just ooh and aah whenever something supposedly exciting happens.
It was genius with just Kenny and Charles. When they added Shaq that was about it.
Coon is what democrat voters call a black person who doesn't know their place.
Uncle Tom was the term I was thinking of.
Anyway, I'm not going to get into it because anything I say will be misconstrued, spun or taken out of context. Just know that it's not an uncommon opinion among many blacks and it's unlikely you'll be able to see it from their perspective.
At this coming from your miserable, apologist ass.

. Maybe in 1948 when eventual Republican Strom Thurmond broke from the party ranks to run independently. You people need to refresh your browsers. Every racist left the Democratic Party after the Civil Rights bill passed in the 60s, taking a short walk across the aisle to the GOP seating area.
These people don’t care about history. They repeat far right canned responses because they don’t have the ability to think independently let alone read back about the historical context of racism in this country.
Live look at this thread
Inside the NBA used to be great, but they should have let it go. It's time.
Since Shaq arrived it's become more of a comedy show and if they intend to bring Draymond it'll become unwatchable
from what i know of history, it's what both registered dems and republicans used. the common denominator was (and is) that they are generally, insecure, close-minded, uneducated, conditioned or just plain ol' racist.

the NBA wants to cash in on what the NFL is already cashing in on, the ability to use advertising to target demographics of streamers with more specific ads.
They come and go. Back then it was Ahmad Rashad NBA Inside Stuff. I doubt any viewers watched Barkeley, Kenny or even Shaq played. Younger former NBA players will soon takeover. It’s the nature of broadcasting on any sport.
I'm not following what you're saying? How long as Inside the NBA been around for? Do you mean people used to watch Inside Stuff and then moved onto Inside the NBA? How long was Inside Stuff around for and did it coincide with Inside the NBA? Did Inside the NBA eventually beat it out?
The gist is that it might be time for it to go away, and be replaced by something else, just like it replaced it’s predecessor.
I don't remember the last time I watched a pre/post game show that wasn't Inside.
But I agree they should go. Chuck always said he'll retire early and he's 61. Extended his contract only to help TNT secure another deal. Ernie is 67.
Shaq used all his gimmicks and is just annoying nowdays. Kenny is the wannabe serious analyst, but doesn't actually watch games and doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time.
It's better for them to end on a high note.
Amazon would surely generate more viewership and exposure.
The issue I have with other networks, mainly ESPN, is that they're trying to copy Inside and it's simply not working.
Stop trying to force the comedic element and give us some actual insight instead of having all those clowns on TV 24/7.
I'm all for Amazon if their plan is to make their shows actually insightful and worth watching for people who actually want to hear some serious basketball analysis.
a lot of old white guys on this forum, so it seems...
