Does anyone still routinely watch Inside the NBA? I feel like all it has been for awhile now is Shaq and Chuck "arguing" with Shaq just repeating the same stupid word or phrase literally a dozen times. Tuned in last night and Shaq's making poop coming out while he's running jokes. What are we even doing anymore? It's not fun; it's just cringe.

Was listening to the Lakers radio play-by-play guy, John Ireland, who has been a sports radio host for decades in LA, and he said that in the playoffs the commercial breaks  are 3:45 instead of 2:00 and the halftimes are 17:50 v 15:00.  That helps older teams and shallower teams like the Lakers.  Each commercial break is like an extra timeout.

Interesting - but not sure if that helps or not. Younger guys can start/stop better than the olds. Yeah you get a breather but you don't want to sit around and get tight or lose the flow.

I would imagine it's extremely marginal either way.

Always thought Green got too much hate just based on his potential, numbers and role. I didn't have a problem with his contract. 

He pretty clearly sets the ceiling for this team. That dunk was electric.

When you have to lean on a lazy fatty (according to Nico Harrison), we need those long breaks.

Is he the mega-boring sounding, but smart basketball guy?
Or is he the real, original-style play-by-play exciting-sounding kinda guy?

Just realized Jimmy left injured.

Ws are cooked if he's done for the series. 

He fell ass-first to the floor from a good foot or so above the deck.

Jimmy has integrated better into SanFran than I figured he would.
I shoulda known better..

He’s good.  He was a sports radio guy well before a play by play guy.  And he’s a Bruin.

Why the fuck has Steph played 37 minutes so far? This was about as obvious of a "pull the plug if we don't make a serious run early in the third" game as it gets.

They have 3 days off.

Doesn't really answer my question, so I'm not prepared to give you a thumbs up/down yet.  :)

He’s not super exciting, but very insightful.  And he’s had a partner for years,  they’re a good yin yang.

I certainly understand spreading around who gets to be on TNT/ESPN/ABC and who gets to be on NBA TV, but Thunder/Grizz on TNT tonight and Clippers/Nugs on NBA TV?

It's just going to be a fucking 30+ point blowout on TNT

It gets better if you're still in CO.  Game will be blacked out on NBATV for us.  Only way to watch is Altitude+. Thankfully that's how I've been watching all year but it's strange for a playoff game to be hard to find on TV.

Glad it’s on Altitude for us

Are you using the app or Altitude on cable/sat?  Vic Lombardi on the radio this morning was making it sound like the app was the only way to watch, but I don't know for sure. They are apparently having a free 3 day trial if you want to sign up for the app just for tonight and then cancel.

I actually have no idea and this is a massive clusterfuck and why NBA ratings are down

I just checked my DTV Stream guide and it’s on Altitude Sports at 8pm

Kind of tangential - 

These games are way too fucking long. 

It's been almost an hour since 6 and we just got under 10 mins in the 2Q. 

They need to take a page from MLB. 

That Ws/Rockets shit last night went well into the 3hr mark starting from the 8:30 advertised tip.
