I've never seen a basketball game where the broadcasting team talks sooooo much about non-basketball stuff. Totally boring. Might as well take a course in business marketing than listening to them.

The refs basically letting everything go. The Warriors and Kings not getting calls although the Kings are getting the short end of the whistle swallowing. The Kings have been getting all kinds of contact and 2 free throws? Really?
TJD has pretty much been fouling Sabonis every single time he possibly can and the refs haven’t even called it once.

Yeah, the 2nd unit will be good as long as Colby is there to help run it and settle things down……he looks that good. Davion the scorer is better than Davion the distributor by a country mile.
 
This dude has probably said 3500 words this quarter and I don't remember a single thing he's talked about
He did say the word PG and E. That's about all I remember.

The Ws are a good team - but they do not exude class and professionalism throughout and around the org. Recall both fan and sports radio host behavior last playoffs.
 
-Jones looked every bit the elite connector wing he's been hyped to be. I thought his athleticism was supposed to be a weak point, but he's looked like one of the fastest/quickest players out there on the floor.
-Javale looks old, but still huge and tries hard
-Sasha very quiet, looks to be struggling to find a role here. 3 reb in 6 minutes though
-Davion with possibly his best offensive surge of his career. Dominating in an off-ball role. New key to unlock him?
-Keegan 11 shots! 14 points! Didn't hesitate, took advantage of one on one match-ups, took guys off the dribble
-Domas rebounding and passing as usual look great, continues to struggle with the Warriors post D against him around the rim
 
Idk, when your man is in another zip-code with a wide wide wide open 3, it's hard to put the blame on a bad rotation from another guy when you're playing man to man defense.
Sasha got pulled shortly after that play because he should have stayed with the shooter instead of floating when McGee switched.
 
I’m buying Davion’s three. Can he hit it at 37ish percent this year? Would be great.

Colby Jones is just a do it all player that is super fun to watch. Hope he finds minutes

if Keegan can just add the mid range and nothing else that will be a really nice step forward for this year

I thought the same thing. They could not care less about their audience. They are there to listen to themselves.
To be fair, this sort of buzzword nonsensical self-pleasuring word salad is precisely what a lot of their audience loves to hear since they moved across the bay from their actual fan base and priced most of their fans out of their new arena.
