Side note-i thought peacock was a cbs streaming tool?

All this shyt is confusing mayne.

Anyway, i aint on the wave with ya. I watched a bunch of games back in the day on nbc, and this whole rollout is covered in a level of excitement that i just cant grasp.

They did a great job. The crowd noise was great. It had an atmosphere to it that ESPN has lacked

I watch basketball

I dont give af about a pregame show or starting lineups. And i damn sure dont care about no damn national anthem

Thanks for this.

It was great, especially with the music but Reggie Miller is dull unless he makes some weird accidental innuendos

For those confused, the Cock is NBC. Paramount is CBS

It's not forcing ESPN to do anything. Nobody can force ABC to love basketball outside of the Finals.

Refreshing to hear people actually talk about basketball. Not narratives. Not hosts making themselves the story of the night. Not endless LeBron talk whether he's playing tonight or not. Just basketball. I haven't really been into the NBA in a long time, besides watching some of the playoffs. I got to see the second game last night and was impressed.

Part of the NFL's dominance boils down to the way they protect the product. There are narratives and fukkery but overall, coverage is about football. And there are multiple games on regular TV that people can watch. That's important. Especially in an era where a lot of people aren't even watching television, there has to be more value in broadcasting a sport on NBC than whatever bullshyt reality tv or game show program they usually run. If I was NBC, I'd be doing basketball in prime time and then leading into a major show that usually streams on Peacock. Or a noteworthy movie. Doesn't seem hard to get people to watch more TV if they have a reason not to switch back to Hulu/Netflix/etc immediately after a game ends.
