Don't like it. It makes you appreciate what guys like Kevin Harlan do on a weekly basis. They are really professionals and make a noticeable difference in your viewing experience.

It’s like golf commentary for a buzzer beater if that makes sense

Players Only is one of Adam Silver's worst ideas. Hell, it may be the worst.

Some games are ok, and others are pretty bad.

It doesn't change the ratings. Most everyone who complains still watches. So it can't that bad, otherwise people wouldn't watch. People just want to complain.

As each game goes on they start talking and laughing over each other more and more and more. By the 4th quarter it's a total clusterfuck.

Seriously tho, this may warrant a change.org petition.

I like it. It’s a more laid back experience and a nice change of pace. I don’t need the play by play guy to tell me what’s happening that’s what my eyes are for.

It’s a disaster. These muthafuckas actually talk over the game action. You’ll have a possession that changes the whole flow of the game and Greg Anthony’s too busy talking about his glory days coming off the bench in New York to even acknowledge the game in progress.
