Barkley back on our bandwagon

[Poolboy5623]

I have a new thing, where I don't turn a game on until right before tip/kick..and I turn it off, right after its over. It has been working really well for me!

[sehui]

I dont live in San Antonio so those comments dont faze me

[elmanutres]

Houston is fat. But we have 6 million people and about 59% are obese. San Anton has about 59% too but their women are more like80-90%...this stands out...

Lol Pulling bullcrap stats out your ass

[Boomersgold]

Something that Shaq would say as part of his 'expert analysis': "To win they're going to have to play with confidence."

[SpursRock20]

Sorry for the double post, but just wanted to add SA is going to the Finals again barring catastrophic injuries.

This is the 3rd year in a row they are the best team in the west. I know as fans we're inclined to think of doomsday scenarios, but really, this team is going to roll all season and we need to appreciate what we have a little better. It will never be this good again.

Cue Pop sucks and Ginobili is a cancer and Parker is overrated and Splitter is too soft and Belinelli is a waste and {yawn}. See you in June.

Nobody is talking like that in this thread

Shaq has been dogging Howard for years. He speaks the truth. Albeit in a broken sentences. Howard is a stiff and is a liability in close games because of his FT shooting. He has no offensive game except dunking. The Rockets better learn to start blowing people out.

Oh, and on a side note - Someone should start a thread about superstars you wouldn't want on your team no matter what. My choice? James Harden. I know he puts up big numbers and attacks the rim relentlessly but I CAN'T stand watching him play. That beard is disgusting, his haircut is ridiculous and he looks like he's been gnawing on a piece of old wood with his gnarly teeth. I don't even like the way he walks. that dude. No matter how good he is.

Yeah, he puts big numbers like 35 points, shooting something like 10/35 and the rest are freethrows which he is good at, but I can´t stand his game, his ballhandling sucks, every play of him consist on cheap flopping, every single play he is trying to kiss the floor even when nobody touches his ugly being, if officials were serious he would be doing like 4 freethrows per game not 20.

I liked Webber better as far as interacting with the rest of the crew. I don't know if his analysis of games was better than Shaq but staying in the conversation with everyone else was much better than Shaq. For a lot of the show it seems like Shaq isn't even there, but that might be a good thing.

[hater]

let's be honest. 2 black ppl and Ernie makes a good team. 3 black ppl makes it a barbershop. Nobody wants to hear a black barbershop talk on their 55 inch tv. Not me at least. If I want to hear barbershop talk I go to the hood and get a ty buzz.

and no, Brent Barry wouldn't fix either.

keep that 3. 3s company.

[Darius McCrary]

Shaq single-handedly ruined the TNT studio show.

Some people love it.

I kinda see it like on Eastbound and Down when Kenny joins Sports Sesh to be the edgy guy and the black edgy guy gets all threatened.

[TheGoldStandard]

It doesn't matter what they say or who's bandwagon they jump on at the end of the regular season we'll be in a pretty great situation, probably in the driver seat in the west and they will do everything to try to predict an upset for some other team. It's all about who's the flavor of the month, they tried the Clip but their D sucks and have no offensive powerhouse to put up points, the W's have offensive but no interior play and jump shots won't win championships alone not to mention lack of D. OKC is a two man team and they shoot themselves in the foot all the time.

[Arcadian]

I wouldn't say he's "on the bandwagon." He said we're top 2 or 3 in the west, which is still underrating us. What happened is he saw our bandwagon, looked at it, gave it a double take, and realized he was wrong before with his asinine predictions.

[Biernutz]

The TNT show has definitely slowed down since Shaq joined.

[SupremeGuy]

Don't think he was ever off it, tbh. He's probably told to prop up the other "popular" teams in the West.

[007nites]

Amhad Rashad, Payton, and Webber make the best team

[ThePop]

The big ol women stuff is funny, idk why anyone ever gets upset at that.

[Kool Bob Love]

I like Chris Webber. He knows the game and players and never comes off as a blowhard. I guess
one thing we have to remember about this show. "It's Entertainment" first.

[Kidd K]

Honestly, I don't give a that Barkley started to stop speaking out of his ass about us. He was stupid enough to make a blind judgement based on apparently nothing, so going back on it once he sees us on top of the standings doesn't mean anything. It's easy to pick us now since it'd be stupid to rank us 5th in the west at this point.

Chuck is still the best studio analyst in any sport and Kenny isn't far behind. Ernie is great too. Even Shaq's awfulness can't drag down that show. You can nitpick all you want but no other studio show compares tbh

The ?

Just about everyone who's ever been on on Baseball Tonight is leagues ahead of Barkley and Kenny.

Unless by "best" you just meant "amusing", and not "smart" or "knowledgeable".

I mean the whole package. Entertainment value + knowledge of sport. There's no personality on Baseball tonight. The show is a total bore.

I disagree that it's boring, but I see you don't consider sports knowledge and intellect to be anywhere near the top of your list for who you consider to be "best" at being an analyst. To me, that's the most important part. Barkley's an entertaining side show, but he's nowhere near the top of my list for opinion's I'm taking seriously first.

Basketball in general doesn't have a lot of intelligent analysts. I'm not sure why, but that sport's "experts" are the most consistently wrong of any pro sport's experts unless they're stating the obvious. And it isn't because basketball's hard to predict because it's not.

You are correct...
