What else do you want from them? I have to say Doc Rivers is an acquired taste, but at least Walton Sr. is sitting in the stands and not in the press box with Al.
Speaking of coverage for the bettors, could there be a better team than what they have now? I had to listen on radio for part of Game 1 and I think I heard Musberger say "8 point underdogs" at least 3 times. Michaels may not say it that much, but if the game comes down to a spread deciding shot we are sure to hear something subtle about it...

I could complain but I think overall any broadcast that doesn't include Bill Walton is simply head and shoulders above one that does. The only weak link here is Al Michaels who doesn't seem too engaged by the game itself. I really don't have a problem with the coverage, I think it's as good or better than what TNT does or what NBC did last year.
Everything would be fine if they would rid of Stuart Scott. In my opinion it used to be a tossup of who way more annoying on ESPN, Stuart or Sterling Sharpe. Got rid of Sharpe, now if they would only do the same with Scott....
The rack in the back might be Phil's main squeeze Jeannie Buss the Lakers' executive vice president of business operations, and daughter of team owner Jerry Buss.
The Zen Master with Jeannie in background.
btw. Jeannie says she is 95% sure Phil will be back with the Lakers next year.
