Russillo has been hanging-out with the d-bag, anti-Boston Felger…He is usually reasonable and more intelligent than WEEI morons…

Van Gundy is good, Jackson is OK, but there is something about the ABC broadcast that is dull – maybe it’s Breen.

Watching the 80s Finals on Youtube this week I’ve been struck by the excitement on the old CBS broadcasts. Maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s the crowd noise that seemed louder or the cameras that seemed closer to the action. You felt like you were sitting in a front row seat. Breen apparently has a national rep but I don’t know why. Nowhere near Harlan or Albert or some others.

Russillo and Mashburn co-host the best NBA radio show.

Breen is absolutely awful. Painfully awful.

In other news the “remarkable Lebron James” just sat down with Osama Bin Laden and convinced Bin Laden to set down his arms and discuss his issues with the West on Oprah.

Can we get a moratorium on CONTRARIAN every single time someone says something stupid? Please?

Why not just say Tom Curran is acting like a fool?

Who is Ryen Rusillo? I mean, I know who he is, but what is it about him that makes him this NBA expert? Did he play hoops in college? Does he write for anyone? Does he have a wealth of contacts throughout the league? Did he just wake up one day and somehow land a job as this “NBA expert”? Personally, I don’t think he is even necessary with Gorman, Heinsohn, and Marshall providing solid analysis.

Ahhh…the esteemed & enlightened Tom Curran. The ‘We-hardly-knew-Ye’ Tom Curran. The local sports media hack who saw his own ship sinking and groveled successfully for a national on-line gig. Ever the contrarian, Tom is happily suggesting that the Pierce thing could be fraudulent. Of course, in order to maintain even a semblance of objectivity, Curran must–at all costs–take an anti-Boston stance. Of course, that just elicits a big Yawn from everyone not from around here. Let Curran enjoy his little-seen NBC.com gig. Nothing the Peacock network does these days seems to work well.

Did Breen ever explain the bandage on his forehead? I haven’t been listening closely enough to him to know if he did. Makeup would’ve been a better way to go.
