adding in joey crawford for game 1... donaghy theory is 3 for 3 in picking games.
watch for a loose whistle in the first quarter of game 4.
breen and van gundy can stay, although i'd love to see marv albert brought back to do the finals. he just belongs on the NBA finals... much like he belongs donig Knick games. ironicly enough, Breen currently does both.
mark jackson is awful. he uses his platform to politic for a fucking coaching job that nobody wants to give him. it's amazing how often van gundy will make a solid, valid coaching point only to have mark jackson counter him, as if he has any right to counter what van gundy is saying.
they need to go back to a two man crew for now until they can find another player who isn't as dry and full of himself as jackson is. i'd love to see hubie brought back but they usually don't put two coach types on the same broadcast.
walton is the obvious choice. kenny smith is brutal doing color... they tried it with the knicks; crash and burn. i love clyde frazier but that'll never happen. honestly, i wouldn't mind them bringing back tommy heinson. he'd be informative and entertaining... but would probably be too much of a celtic homer. if shaq retires he'd be the guy i'd go after instantly... he actually does a decent job of it from what i've heard so it would be worth a shot. there's gotta be a decent former player out there doing color... just gotta find him and give him a shot. jackson has to go.
tom tolbert, hello?
