You know what's great TV?

I don't think I'm going to blow any minds, here, but Inside The NBA on TNT with Charles, Kenny, Ernie, and Magic is brilliant. It's something we've already known to be true, but just now, after a mediocre Cleveland team, lead by an iffy performance from LeBron, leveled their series with Boston 2-2, watching the guys talk about how the Celtics themselves don't even know how they earned the best record in the regular season was just brilliant. Specifically listening to Magic and Charles agog at how Boston's "big three" are incapable of taking over games, how KG disappears in the fourth quarter, how Rajon Rondo of all people shouldn't be the guy taking the second-most shots on the team, how KG is the only guy who can play defense, how the C's don't know how to play from behind. I just love seeing the greatest players in the game concisely, yet casually, chop up a championship favorite who is showing game-by-game that they lack heart. At this rate, there's no way Boston gets past Detroit in the conference finals.

I'm a fan of his, but I just hope that Bill Simmons was watching. People need to understand that the Celtics have massive problems. Being taken to seven games by a lousy Atlanta team was just the tip of the iceberg.
