We’ll actually get to see the crew during the finals with this deal, crazy to think of. Don’t think it could have worked out any better.

Yeah I read it late and thought you would’ve beat me to it lol.

Glad they can continue the show and it’s produced by them, ESPNs shows are horrible in comparison and it sucks when they’re covering a game you wanna watch. Anyone but inside I usually just skip.

Jokic out again so Grizzlies going to stomp

 

~~Hopefully they’re able to still run the show like they normally do.~~

TNT continues to be the home of the NBA this season, along with ESPN. TNT will also continue to produce “Inside the NBA” after it changes networks, per the sources.

Another Edit: It was literally a trade between ESPN and TNT Sport lol

In one of the landmark trades in sports media history, officially announced Monday, Pitaro has brought in Barkley and friends in exchange for 13 Big 12 football games and 15 Big 12 basketball games. No money is being exchanged between the sides, according to sources briefed on the deal. The agreement is for six seasons.

TNT Sports needs the inventory, though the games will not be the top ones from the conference. TNT Sports has not folded since losing the NBA. Besides keeping a relationship with the league that will result in hundreds of millions in profits, it also has first-round College Football Playoff games, with an opportunity to license more from ESPN. It has also added tennis’ French OpenBig East hoops and NASCAR.

 

The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday.

The new concept would create three teams of eight All-Stars each, as well as a fourth team coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game. The teams would then face each other in a bracket competition.

 

50/6/2/1/3 on .621 FG% and 6/9 from the line tonight.

 

No Dame, Middleton, or Portis tonight so the Bucks needed every bit of it to pull out a win.

59 is the highest of the season for a player so far.

59/14/7/2/3 on .618 FG% and 16/17 from the line.

 

Pelicans going to have to start having fans play pretty soon here.

They thankfully have less b2b later in the season. Hopefully they can rest him a bit more in games too but Murray has to be out of his funk before that happens more I think.

[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

Think if it wasn’t one of the defenders may get a hand on it depending on how quick they react but hard to say for sure.

Robert F Kennedy and Chase Oliver voters are peeling off votes from Trump not Harris.

If you look at the count of the RFK/ Oliver/ Libertarian voters they more or less cancel out the Green and socialist candidate/party voters

Lmao yes famous things leftists ask for like:

  1. Stating your difference from Biden would be to have a republican in your cabinet.
  2. Campaigning with Liz Cheney.
  3. Enacting the rights border policies.
  4. Walking back a commitment to ban fracking.
  5. Walking back support for Medicare 4 All
  6. Walking back support for the green new deal.
  7. Supplying and funding the genocide leftists and Arab voters explicitly wanted stopped.

They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.

They didn’t activate what should be their base enough and instead tried to court neocons and these mythical moderate republicans that would abandon trump in swaths for a righter wing democrat (hint: they will always prefer the actual republican).

If the democratic leadership takes this result as anything but an indictment of their attempt to abandon popular left policies to become the Republicans of 20 years ago they are hopeless. I’m not holding my breath though.

It’s wild to me that when she realized she had to somewhat distance herself from Biden she chose to say she’d have a republican in her cabinet. Not something about helping the working class more, or not supplying and funding a genocide that’s incredibly unpopular with what should be her base.

Stuff like that along with “having the most lethal military” and campaigning with Cheney alienated leftists, student, and Muslim voters which all could have been easy wins.

Economically people don’t feel better under Biden than they did 4 years ago which while the inflation largely isn’t his fault she still needed to meaningfully project she would be different than him to get working class voters and she didn’t effectively do that since she wasn’t pushing a populist message.

She clearly doesn’t know how to campaign well (pretty sure I heard she had Clinton staffers giving advice to her campaign lol) but that shouldn’t be a surprise since she was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 primary.

Think it’s like the free space in bingo, don’t even need to mention it because it’s assumed that we’re to blame lol
