CBS and KCAL 9 did some kind of merger thing. I don't know whether or not local games will be broadcasted on CBS from now on, I just think the CBS label will now be on everything that is on the local away games. All I know is that the promos doubled when the announcement was made, with even David Letterman promoting his show. I was pretty upset at that, but what can you do. I don't think this merger affected the radio broadcasts, but I'm not sure. You might want to wait for trmiv to answer that. As for watching games with the radio on, it doesn't always work in sync with the replays and all the celebrity interviews...haha.

I find it interesting that the Laker fans hate Walton so much when he is obviously having an affair with the whole team.

"Robbert Horry is such a great three point shooter."
"Shaq is the best player in the game today."
"Kobe is the best this game has ever seen."
"Rick Fox is such a deadly three point shooter."
"Derek Fisher is a solid point guard."
"Samaki Walker is one of the best sixth men around."

He, much like the rest of the NBA, is absolutely in love with the Lakers.

Bill Walton licks assh0les of whatever team is on top. When the Bulls were on top, he and Marv Albert couldn't shut up about Michael Jordan, commenting about every little thing. Laker fans hate BilL Walton because we know he is a freaking faker. His regular job is broadcasting Clipper games. I like the Clippers a lot, and he should spend his time learning how to become a real sports broadcaster with them.

Bump for SuperCyrix.

NBC's coverage of the NBA still SUCKS ASS.

The good news is, NBC's video coverage is OK. Here, in L.A., we just mute the TV, and turn on Chick and Stu on 540 AM. MUCH BETTER! :cool:

The interesting thing is, there's about 1/4 - 1/2 second delay on the video, and it's weird hearing Chick call a basket good while it's still in mid-air on the tube.

Yeah....that's why it's tough for me to turn on the radio during these games. I really wish the NBA would allow the local stations to air their games and allow NBC to give the rest of the country their crappy coverage.

I'd love for NBC to get Tom Tolbert to replace Bill Walton, and Charles Barkley for comic relief. I much prefer watching games on TNT, than I do on NBC.

As for tonight's game...meh.

I hope your contempt for Laker fans are for those who are bandwagon fans. If that's the case, then I'm on your side. But I rooted for the Lakers back in the days when Sedale Threatt was their main weapon...haha. I got harassed for being a fan from all the Bulls fanboys, but now my day has come!


Staying on topic of this thread, NBC sucks.

Yes it is. I'm a Warrior Fan but I was also a big fan of the Lakers back in Magic Johnsons Day. This Laker Team pales in comparison (though they are still damn good)

Do you get Warrior games on TV out in Merced, or is it Kings country? Stockton, Manteca, Modesto, etc all carry Kings games on TV.

We have cable so we get them both.


You get both teams on Fox Sports and their local channels (channel 36 and KCRA I believe it is, for the Kings)? That's cool, I wish we got that. All we get is the Warriors on 36 and Fox Sports Bay Area. But, I have NBA league pass so I get all the games anyway.

Bump for all you Walton fans ;)

Rudy Martzke - USA Today

The main NBA team next year for ESPN on Wednesdays and ABC on Sundays figures to include Walton and host Kevin Frazier, with a decision still to be made between Brad Nessler and Brent Musburger on play-by-play...

Wow, now they're interviewing Justin Timberlake. I'm so happy to hear his basketball knowledge.
