All-female broadcast team for Celtics v Pistons on Mon 3/18

[perks-a-beast]

I'm not expecting it to be great, but if you can sit through Reggie Miller and Stan Van Gundy you can sit through pretty much anything.

Could be worse, could be an All Reggie Miller Broadcast Team.

I'd probably watch a Miller family  (Reggie & Cheryl) broadcast, though.

Well I'm now excited to hear this broadcast...I've heard Abby on the radio doing color as a sub for Max a couple of times so I'm sure she will do well, I'm looking forward to hearing how the others go as well. We won't know if it's deserved recognition or virtue signaling until they've actually done it and they deserve a chance to at least show us what they've got

Might just watch the Pistons broadcast tonight on League Pass

My 12 year old daughter saw the advertisement for the broadcast.  Her reaction?  "I don't care".

She's much more concerned with when Porzingis will be back.

A young lady with her priorities right...worry about the people on the court, not off

I struggle with Abbeys cadence. It like she gets stuck or glitches or something. Maybe im just an old grumpy troll.

She’s probably just nervous. Leave Abbey alone!

I think Abby is just used to doing short bits on the sidelines. This is quite different.

DiJonai Carrington is one of my favorite WNBA players. I've followed her since her time at Stanford and then when she transferred to Baylor. She's always had good game insights on social media.

The idea that women can't talk about the NBA as well as men do is so laughably outdated. But no surprise that some folks in the Boston fanbase is stuck in past stereotypes.

Never again please

[Goldstar88]

Never again please

I honestly didn’t think it was any worse than having to listen to Scal and Drew. Was really hoping Max and Grande would take over at some point.

[Atzar]

Zora Stephenson is good at calling the game but less good at drawing her cohosts out.  Specifically they never found an opportunity for Carrington to get a word in edgewise, which is a shame because the few comments she did make demonstrated the best basketball knowledge of the group. 

I watch most national broadcasts on mute and never reached for that button during this game though, for what that's worth.  They were fine.

It really wasn't. I like Drew for the most part, but his "oh, he shot it right in Jordan Poole's eye hole" isn't exactly profound or inventive commentary.

But you saw the attitude before the broadcast even aired. The Boston Celtics fandom will never beat the bigot allegations.

I generally agree about Stephenson.  I thought her play-by-play was solid.  I think it would have worked better if there were only one other person with her calling the game, instead of two.  Three can be a crowd, especially when none of them had worked together before.

Agreed.  I remember the three-man crew one of the national broadcasts used to do, with Breen trying to keep the group on task while JVG and Mark Jackson bickered and talked over each other.  A mess.
