NBA ON TNT >>> NBA ON ESPN
The camaraderie between Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley is just great. Having Marv with the Czar and Steve Kerr on the game crew doesn't hurt either.
The one thing I wanted to mention here, though, is a moment during the halftime show. They were running through a little reel of first half play tonight that involved Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. They show a couple plays, and while the reel's still going, you hear Barkley say "Oh my God!!" At this moment, I'm wondering whether someone just got hacked really bad on the highlight reel or something. They cut back to the studio with the camera, and Barkley has interjected once again. They ask him what he's reacting to, and he says, alluding to one of the TVs off to the side, "Roy Jones just got knocked out!!" Yes, leave it to Chuck Barkley to derail the halftime show. Guess what, though? It had me in stitches.
How do they end a great halftime show? Jeff Van Gundy was a guest panelist. They ended the halftime show by showing him getting tossed around in that Knicks/Heat fight of a few years ago. Hilarity.
Sidenote: I finally figured why my posting time's been off. The Blogger post clock freezes from the time you load up the post page, rather than actually keeping time like it used to. Dumb, dumb, dumb. For the record, I set my own time for the stamp before I click on "publish."
