Great call RJBO....he might want to trade with someone.
Why does the NBA space the games out so much? Only 2 games per night during the week!? This isn't MLB or the NFL where the playoffs are much shorter and only one game can be on TV at a time. They do not need to showcase every game!
This is such a stupid scheduling idea and it drags out an already tediously long playoff system.
LOVE IT!
I wish Dan Shulman would get move to the number 2 spot and mike tirico back to the ABC studio were he displays his best attrbutes
AA, your boy Arenas is banged up from getting bitch-slapped on Saturday...enjoy going down 0-2.
24 points in 27 minutes sure is a bitch slapping. I hate you this time of year G :).
Mavs/Hornets = Matt Devlin
Wow....just wow. That has Kevin Harlan written all over it.
I honestly think ESPN's announcers might have surpassed TNT's. Shulman and Pasch in the 3-4 is eons better than what TNT trots out, ESPN's #1 team is the best three man booth in ages, and TNT took a step back putting Reggie in the lead analyst role.
And Matt Devlin on Hornets/Mavs gets a big WTF from me, as well.
Shameless plug here, but I'm having a live blog of the 'Zards/Cavs so if you want to join...

Well said Anon....I said over at Sporting News today that I enjoyed Doris Burke as well the other day. Shulman and Pasch are definitely the future. I just hope ESPN doesn't ruin them.
Reggie Miller in the Cavs game: Lebron is like a full-back. You're not going to stop him when he has a full steam of head.
WTF? Reggie Miller is not that good. Put him back in the studio like you used to TNT. God I miss Steve Kerr already. Even without Kerr, you'd think that they'd put Mike Fratello at the lead analyst spot behind Doug "I must talk about my coaching career every game" Collins.
How can Kevin Harlan do Mavs/Hornets when he'll be in San Antonio? Marv is in LA on Wednesday. Who would you replace Matt Devlin with? I say Gus Johnson. Anyone have other thoughts?
TNT better cast their nets and find an up-and-coming PbP man, because Matt Devlin isn't it. At this point, Verne Lundquist or Bob Neal (is he still alive?) is better off still doing games for TNT in the #4 spot. Some other names (not like I'm endorsing them or anything): Spero Dedes? Joel Meyers? Kevin Calabro?
Any idea who does the games for NBA TV? Like for the Magic and Raptors tomorrow night?
Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery on the two Magic/Raptors games this week.
Steve Martin (Charlotte Bobcats, does college sports work for Raycom) and Quinn Buckner (Indiana Pacers, former NCAA tourney broadcaster) have Philadelphia/Detroit.
Ric Bucher...in Utah. He won't see too many smiling faces Saturday night.
