AROUND the NBA:

I have hated their broadcasts, from what I have watched of NFL. Very clunky to navigate. So I'm unlikely to watch ANY such games unless Mavs are playing, and perhaps not even then.

I feel ya. I'm going to hate they're moving away from TNT.  Best studio show on the planet.

Wow.

I generally watch the game for the content, and ignore the commentators.

It used to drive my wife crazy that I watched sports with the volume turned off.

The only exception is the rare occasion when I watch a baseball game. With the volume down, I’d miss the 90 seconds of the game that actually mattered.

I haven't watched a single Amazon broadcast but I'd imagine they'd be keeping the same commentators we've grown to love (and hate). The infrastructure is largely there and Amazon has the disposable income to run it unlike Bally.

I wonder if we'll look back at Jimmy Butlers/PG13/Kawhi's upcoming contracts and think "What the hell were these teams thinking???"

Wall was one of the best PG's in the league before back to back career ending injuries.

It's unfortunate really. Those teams didn't forsee those players being consistently on the IL. I'm sure if they did, they wouldn't have signed them to those big deals.

It’s all a risk. 

At least, in the draft, it’s only about guessing whether a prospect will end up being a productive player or not. We fans get all bothered because our #26 pick was a dud, but some other team found a productive guy at #42.

When signing a high-dollar player, it’s a long-term commitment that can decimate a team for years, particularly under the new CBA rules.

Pat Riley's Jimmy Butler comments opened a lot of eyes and speculation around the Association.

This isn't a positive sign that Discovery and Max are considering price hikes, layoffs, and other cost-cutting moves in their NBA deal.

Barkley says he would pick Isiah Thomas over Seth Curry as best small guard ever, FWIW (Lol)

The Joker wins his 3rd MVP in 4 seasons.

Not bad to pick the number 3 and 5 mvp vote getter in one draft.  Ok, I will let it go.  This is a fun Mavs team.

Its not a hot take, I would pick Isiah Thomas over SETH Curry as well 

[BolsDamols]

So will Luka ever win an MVP?

If Shai goes to WCF, he will be the favorite next year, and we won't like it, but Luka will lose some of that luster

Brunson questionable to return tonight with a right foot injury. I have no idea how he hurt it. I don’t see anything concerning. Not a good sign that he is questionable as Jalen is a rough dude.

My bad, should have been Steph.

He's back and doing Brunson things. But they lost OG Anunoby to a hamstring injury. He was ballin with 28 pts before he left. Good game.

[KillerLeft]

Brunson is such a bad ass.

It still hurts so much.

[SwisherPrice]

The Knicks are just unstoppable...I think they should beat the Celtics too. This really could be their year to win it all
