People online love the excitable Dookie, JJ Reddick; but it has been a big drop off from Doc in the booth.
ESPN Is Pathetic
- Thread starter Lose Remerswaal
- Start date
I like Reddick just fine, Doc was just really, really good as a broadcaster. His willingness to throw players and staff under the bus is a lot more fun when they aren't currently his players and his staff.
When I was at ESPN we had at least a half dozen major layoffs. And literally every time on the day people got axed I’d hear from someone “I heard Norby is gone”. And yet, every single time, he was not gone. The guy was a survivor, that’s for sure.
The classic Friday afternoon news dump and this is HUGE news, he was the machine behind ESPN for years and years. When most ESPN insider news was reported elsewhere, high % chance came from him. McAfee called him out on it but he's been leaking stuff and the 'espn source' for years and years.
Cut that check.

Hey, remember Penn Entertainment and how they bought and later sold a big share of Barstool Sports back to Dave? Well, Penn changed from Barstool Sportsbook and later became ESPN Bet and now...

When oh WHEN will these Celtics prove they are tough?! One other adjective you can't be without a championship ring, apparently. Seems to me the Celtics continuing with all their winning seasons since 2016-17 (Jaylen's rookie season) amongst a lot of turnover of complementary pieces is the definition of a tough Jaylen/Jayson foundation.
I want to like Bryant but he seems to be going round and round in circles trying to figure out a way to make this about "toughness" when all he's really saying is that they should finish off opponents when they have the lead.
8-2 in elimination games over the last 3 years: Not tough.
Is it just too boring to ask whether or not this is the year they get over the hump?
Counterpoint: They put themselves in a position last year where they’ve had to play 10 elimination games in 5 rounds. That includes 6 elimination games last years in 2 rounds, including going down 3-0 to a team that was down late in a play-in game and down 3-2 to a team that wasn’t playing Joel Embiid. And they haven’t been tested at all this playoffs.
The truth is somewhere in between but let’s not act like the Celtics have always been a lock in tight situations.

Talking about last year is only slightly more relevant than how Hank Finkel replaced Bill Russell.
I did not bring up their record in elimination games the last two years as something in their favor. I also don’t agree last year is completely irrelevant given they return 7 of their top 9 players including their 2 best players. 100% relevant, no. But I don’t think you can throw away last year because they added Porzingis and Holiday.
