Y'all mad at the wrong people, be mad mad at Zaslav since all of this is his fault.

How is it Zaslav's fault that Adam Silver bends over for Disney?

The worst part about it is that all the ESPN talk heads will be more focused on the Knicks losing than how impressive the Pacer's win was.

ESPN has had the NBA since 2002-03…

Exactly, So why are people so outraged now? The argument is TNT has the superior coverage which is true, and if they lose it then it's Zaslav's fault for thinking WBD didn't need their biggest cash cow.

Where have you been?

We've all been complaining about it for years now and blaming Silver for not doing shyt about it.

At least Goodell and the NFL fukked over ESPN for years with the Monday Night Football games about Simmons and Hill spoke ill will of them on air.

For example, Stern made ESPN/ABC Brad Nessler after their 1st season. So Silver definitely has sway to make changes to the broadcast if he wanted to.

When he announced that he was going to be at Game 7 in studio the other night, I was wondering if he just pulled rank and decided that on the spot.

When people clamor and cheer on entities like Inside The NBA, of course you’re going to get imitations just like it.

But they aren't imitating it. Inside the NBA actually has content and isn't constant commercials.
