You gotta hand it to the folks behind TNT’s NBA Playoff coverage. They’ve assembled a charismatic bunch of analysts, and they give them free reign to do or say whatever they want. I mean, these dudes always keep it real. The morning after a game, you’re just as likely to see highlights of their intermission shenanigans as you are to see highlights of the actual game they were covering.
