As a Pacers fan, I didn't mind not fouling up 3 just given how little time there was for it. And they did lose to Chicago this season on that exact kind of foul. I do blame Carlisle for not calling a timeout before that. I was surprised he didn't do it right away just to advance the ball but it was even worse when it became clear that inbounding was going to be tough. Just seemed like a total brain fart and what should've been an easy call.
For thirty-five years, Sportscenter has been trash as you can practically hear the anchors scratching each one off of their list as they dump it into the broadcast. Naturally, that has filtered down to every other aspect of sports coverage, nationally and locally.
Keep calling your games, Doris and JJ. Lots of us like listening to a broadcast where the announcers are talking about the game instead of trying to get something plastered onto a t-shirt.
My thoughts on the Doris Burke-J.J. Redick team. Both are good by themselves. But together they seem way too scripted. Everything planned in advance. Your turn, my turn commentary. I really prefer Richard Jefferson.
The audio mix on ESPN/ABC has been awful all Playoffs. Either the crowd is so heavily mic'd that it's impossible to hear the announcers, or they've got it muted so everything sounds underwater. Between that and the lack of chemistry from their lead trio, I've been really dreading them getting more games after next season.

Catchphrases suck ass.™ Kenny Mayne excepted.
