Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Adam Silver is the worst commissioner in sports. Lawsuit coming.

That really stinks. NBA needs to be on TNT/TBS. Period.

Amazon has interest in pursuing TNT's "Inside the NBA" cast following locking up NBA media rights.

"I would say, first and foremost, ‘Inside the NBA,’ we view it as the gold standard studio program," Prime Video's Jay Marine told SBJ.

They will. People already have a hard time getting excited for regular season basketball as it is.

I've loved Chuck since he was in Philly, but even I would have trouble watching without EJ. He's been the consistent force since I got cable and began watching in 94-95.

They're going to try to replace EJ with some nobody Ryan Seacrest clone, and it's going to be awful.

I admittedly don’t watch regular season NBA but will still turn Inside the NBA on regularly. I’d assume most people are in the same boat since ItNBA is more of a topic than the games themselves.

I've been guilty of that. Crazy the NBA even wants to think about getting rid of that show.
