That's ridiculous unless they're planning to do it after he retires and in that case, why announce it now?

[Superbone]

Give me a break!

I don’t know if anyone else watched the postgame show on TNT. I appreciate Shaq for his positive comments on the Suns, but it’s so clear he doesn’t know basketball...especially modern basketball. He doesn’t understand why pick n roll coverage has changed since his days. Wade and Candace had to explain it to him and I still don’t think he got it. I also hate the segment they do where Shaq and Chuck can’t name any nba players. Would it kill them to actually watch a game every now and then? Sorry rant over...here’s a clip of Candace Parker teaching Shaq about modern pick n roll D:

I like Candace and Wade...could we get one of them to take Shaq’s spot on the Thursday crew?

Candace and Wade are such an improvement over the whole Thursday crew. Barkely's occasionally funny, but I've never been a Kenny fan and Shaq adds nothing.

I think Barkley, Kenny, and Ernie have good comedic chemistry...but they’re really missing someone who can talk intelligently about what’s going on. I guess Kenny is supposed to be that guy..agreed on Shaq, he’s just a worse version of Chuck...completely unnecessary.

[Ring_Wanted]

Maybe Shaq needs his own thing. Or I don't know, like, his own section or whatever, just not be put out there with the other guys all the time. Truth is he is a little redundant with Barkley and Charles is just too good at what he does, because he embraces fully the clown role, whereas Shaq still takes himself seriously and wants to be just funny.

[Indy]

I think Kenny is fine, but he should be the 4th wheel. And honestly, he was never a great basketball player. I love they have Wade and Candace. I wish Shaq and 95% of Barkley would go away.

[Superbone]

I'd just replace Shaq with Candace and call it a day.

[Split T]

What the?



Is there any explanation for Murray at 5 on this list?

[O_Gardino]

The nuggets have an MVP candidate and a DPOY candidate and they are in 7th in the west with only one fewer losses than Dallas a t#10. Makes no sense.

[Superbone]

When you think of Murray, isn't defense the first thing that comes to your mind?

So ... Candace-tin a fool?

I watched the Suns-Lakers game and the broadcast was from TNT and those guys are plain awful. I get that they aren't at the live game and all, but come on... try harder.

[Split T]

TJ McConnell has 8 points, 6 assists, and 9 steals...it’s halftime

[Split T]

Crazy. 18 turnovers at half on Cleveland but they’re up 17. Shooting 62% and have as many o-boards as Indiana has d-boards

Not any more. They lost.

[Split T]

Yep, watched the 2nd half...TJ McConnell finished with 16 points, 13 assists, 10 steals, 4 boards, 1 block. 8/8 from the field.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Jazz lost to the Sixers. Mitchell was ejected in OT in a similar fashion as Booker.
