I think the ESPN 'Spurs Ban' is a real thing...

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, I don't think it's a Spurs ban. Chris Broussard is just colossally bad at his job. He said the Spurs "aren't any fun to watch" they "don't have a charismatic star" "They're old" and "Manu is on the decline". The guy is just a dumbass. He just hates having to stay in San Antonio to cover them. I understand that Colin Cowherd is a Laker fan, so he's going to be defensive, but for someone who puts "NBA Expert" on his W2 to deny that any other team with this record would be on a nightly "70 win watch" is just a moron.

Broussard is a fool but ESPN has been begging him for analysis ever since he broke the LeBron James to Miami story. Unfortunately for us, it means we have to see him much more, and hear his ty takes and ignorance of the NBA.

Okay, belief in the ban is back on. Jeff Van Gundy was amazingly negative toward the Spurs tonight, from saying the flagrant on Parker wasn't anything, to the Manu "flops so much he shouldn't get calls" thing. There were several more where I couldn't believe it was the same JVG that's been at ESPN for years.

lol was thinking the same thing.........but I guess he was just pimping the Thunder because they were the underdog??

The biggest thing is right before the game the sportscenter anchor next to John Anderson which I believe was Steve Levy but I get him confused with another guy all the time. Anyway he said coming up next on espn we have 46-10 league leading spurs that's a pretty good record and the 36-19 (I think) record which is just a phenomenal record and he got really excited about the thunder

Its a losing battle.


Its annoying but, what the are you gonna do.

The highlights of tonight's game aren't up yet on ESPN's Xbox Live service thingy, yet every other NBA game's highlights are up, including the LA/Portland game which aired AFTER the Spurs game. To be fair though the ESPN Xbox thingy is crap
