Ahh, was expecting some sort of formal announcement from one of the beat writers...didn't catch the image lol. Nice to see him back!

This is a better way to redeem yourself than a game thread, tbh…

That is, of course, you get yourself banned from home games too

It would be sweet if we could get these National TV commentators a pronunciation guide before they call our games. We’re getting Vassel-rhymes-with-Castle tonight

The most annoying thing is that despite being long, it's a fairly easy name to read and pronounce compared to some others.

Roundball Rock NBA on NBC theme?

Michael Grady calling tonights game with Grant Hill… hopefully we don’t hear a lot of “CASH” calls for CLE

Ah my bad, i thought they may have done one of those Bob Costa's throw back intros. Guess not.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Damn these games take forever to start.

Oh, I didn't tune it yet, I thought you were just asking about the song.

I floated the idea or question, if this was subconcious racism. I dont know if Americans sometimes mispronounce intentionally or just don’t exert any effort. It’s quite egregious when it’s one of the sport’s biggest stars and you are being paid to commentate on it.

The most egregious mispronunciations of Wemby’s name come from former players… and let’s face it, sometimes that is not a sample of the brightest among us

With the cold front that blew in last night I hope Wemby is not affected. (Cedar pollen)

 

[OK Computer]

Anyone else find it wild to see Rashard Lewis on the coach’s bench? Dude looks happy to be here whenever I see him on screen.

Stephen A Smith is who I remember most, and I think Shaq/Barkley. Could be misremembering about the latter though

No promises. I moved down a few rows to some empty seats closer to the court. If they ask me to move, I'm not budging tbh. Wish me luck lol.

 

[Paramore]

[spursparker9]

Vassell with Champ's patented move

 

[ginobilized]

[100%Duncan]
