    I don't watch NBA TV, but I listened to their podcast from time to time. I also preferred TBJ. More irreverent, less corporate.

    I hope they move to The Ringer. I think that will allow them to get back to their original, less censored style.

    I don't really "watch" NBA TV in the sense that I even know when shows are on. I tune in for basketball, like their recap shows during the season, etc. I may scroll by and watch something every now and then. Whether The Starters exists as a show or not impacts me zero.

    both golden skin worriers and starters getting phased out as silver gives up on suburbia?

    No they were The Basketball Jones. Really great team. I hope they end up at the Ringer and not ESPN. I want them unfiltered and not neutered by Mickey Mouse.

    Is this the one that the Lowe Post podcast guy was involved with? The Lowe Post is an awesome NBA podcast.

    This kind of humor just doesn't work on TV.

    They were awesome, as unbiased as they come with some nice humourous touches. The only show I really watched in full.
