It just seems the games on ESPN are just so dry, I just hate ESPN basketball. I don't know what it is but TNT is just so much better. The way the cover the game even the score graphics looks better on TNT.

The TNT announcers just are just 10x better and the Half time and Post Game show with EJ and Barkley is great.

Anyone else agree with me?

I totally agree.

There are not many live events that ESPN kicks ass in. Their football live games suck. The still have mrons like Chris Berman and Joe Morgan doing bases.

Albert and Stockton are alot better doing play-by-play than Tirico and Breen at ESPN...

The TNT postgame show is the best...think they won an emmy for Inside the NBA.

ESPN should take notes.

You can't be serious. Dick Stockton is as bad as it gets. He should have retired from broadcasting 25 years ago. The fact that he is still broadcasting NBA games is an absolute travesty!

totally agree. They blow ESPN out of the water. Only group i somewhat dislike is stockton and miller. Mainly stockton, he makes so many mistakes calling the game, it is just :nohead:

The only 2 announcers on ESPN worthwhile are :

Gary Thorne , because he is the best.

Erin Andrews , because she is hot....

Agreed. They are pathetic in football. The three guys they have for MNF are terrible.

NBC use to be the best at covering the major sports.

No question TNT is better and I think any viewer would agree. Not just the playoffs, but the whole season. ESPN treats the NBA games as important as their Big Monday midnight college basketball games.
