Queue deadpan glowering at the camera for 2 hours straight. |

Let's see...
The Kam brothers suck.
Bres sucks.
Medina is OK.
Ding sucks.
Lee Jenkins is Ok.
Trudell rocks.
Worthy is living in the past. But he's Big Game so let him slide.
Horry got better.
Jamison is good. |
Yeah Horry was terrible at first but he's improved. The only one on that list that I like consistently is Trudell...unlike the rest he really seems to put a lot of prep time into his analysis and he's more reactive to new information (that is to say, he doesn't have some hackneyed personae or perspective he falls back upon when he's out of his depth, e.g. Marcellus Wiley or James Worthy). He's also more comfortable in front of the camera than Bres.
Perhaps it will get better but as it stands, you can find better game analysis and breakdowns here on LG or on youtube produced by some of our own posters like GT. There's really no point to watching TWC's brand of boring lowbrow basketball analysis if you're a true Lakers fan. They need to add a heaping helping of intelligence and entertainment, and maybe I'll start watching them again. |
That's why I appreciate LG and the Mods and contributors. |

Oh I didn't see this before let's see...
Agree on Kams. There's one I like better than the other but neither I would want as a host as opposed to a guest.
I don't think Bres sucks, but he's not dynamic either. (And he can be a bit of a negative Nancy it'll be interesting to see if that continues next season)
Ding
I actually don't care that much for Medina
Like Trudell very much
LOVE Lee Jenkins, I think he's the only true sports journalist they have as opposed to a beat writer. But unfortunately he was banished to Guantánamo because he was vocally critical of Byron
I liked Worthy on the show a lot before Byron became coach, so I suspect I will like him again now that Byron is out of the picture
Horry still can't talk but he's fine LOL (but he really really cannot talk)
Jamison was the one to me who got better as he got on and got more comfortable in front of the camera.
I'd also add of the journalist/talking head/opinion guys I really like Bill Oram. I hope he stays around he kind of got sent to Guantánamo for a minute to when he was to vocally critical of Byron at one point but he did manage to make it back off the island.
And I also agree with whoever it was that said upthread that I like Jamie Maggio a lot but not on the desk. I think Chris McGee is better at running the desk and moving the show along and Jamie does good interviews abd featurette's. All that said they still need an analyst person to replace Coach Dave so once GT gets on the show it'll be perfect
(I just finished a deadline writing a bunch of articles I think this post shows that my brain is fried and I need to go to bed) |
