Spin: Why Isn't There An NBA Tonight?

[Captain Crunch]

Say what you want about baseball, but they got it right.
From April to September, there's a dedicated show that runs from 7pm-1 am, which shows live look ins on games taking place.

Why can't NBA tv get Rick Kamla or Chris Webber to sit around the studio for 4-5 hours on everyday except major NBA days(TNT Thursdays and ESPN Wednesdays) to do live look ins on games?

Make that switch to MLB Network
MLB Network's coverage of sports is better than FS1; ESPN, NFL Network combined.

It's still on as NBA Fastbreak/NBA Tonight

NBA Tonight is a National Basketball Association studio program that airs on ESPN. The program used to air as part of ESPN's The Trifecta. Formerly known as NBA 2Night and NBA Fastbreak, the program, hosted by various ESPN personalities, provides highlights, analysis and updates from the night's NBA games. Segments include "3Ds", which looks at the night's top dunks, defense and dimes (assists).

That shyt is , comes on at random ass times, sometimes it's like a 15 min show with 10 minutes of commercials

Doesn't ESPN 2 have an NBA tonight show every night during the year?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Nobody wants to watch wack ass NBA tv.

The problem is the major game nights are wed and friday as far as volume is concerned. Normally those are ESPN showing games so it would be redundant to have a show on those days with them broad casting games. If they put more games on tuesday, and monday there would be a need for it. TNT has a deal that will only show 1 or 2 other games on thursday that aren't being broadcasted by TNT which can't be used to justify having a show. The weekends belong to football and thus a show like that would get no ratings.

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

most of the highlights on sportscenter will be nba games anyway so
once the world series is over sportscenter will prob be 70% nfl and 30% nba
