1. It’s quite perplexing when the game commentator seems to be viewing a completely different match than you are.

This happened during the Knicks vs. Celtics game on TNT when Reggie Miller’s commentary often left me scratching my head.

In one instance, Miller noted, “everyone is focusing on Brunson.”

Yet, only one Celtics player was actually guarding Jalen Brunson.

Miller also expressed surprise when Brunson missed a crucial floater in the fourth quarter, which would have secured a win for New York. Miller described it as the perfect opportunity.

However, there were two defenders between him and the basket, and it was a contested one-handed shot. Miller analyzed the situation as if Brunson was unguarded, making the layup seem like an easy shot, which it clearly was not.

Miller’s most glaring error occurred during the final seconds of overtime when he claimed the Knicks, leading by three, had committed a foul on Jaylen Brown during a shooting motion, awarding him three free throws. It was clear that the foul occurred before Brown could attempt a shot.

Miller, set to be NBC’s lead analyst next season, frequently corrected his mistakes post-facto, leading to a frustrating viewing experience.

It’s hoped that he will improve for Game 2 on Wednesday.

2. Jason Kosmicki, the radio announcer for the Nuggets, delivered a memorable call on Aaron Gordon’s game-winning three-pointer that clinched a victory for Denver against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

3. According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, NBC plans to introduce AI-generated voiceovers for its NBA broadcasts next season.

Jim Fagan, who previously did voiceovers for NBC during the 90s NBA broadcasts, passed away in 2017. Surprisingly, NBC intends to use an AI version of Fagan’s voice as it resumes NBA coverage.

I find NBC’s fascination with AI perplexing. Last year, they utilized an AI version of Al Michaels for the Olympics. While nostalgia is appealing, it would be preferable to have live humans perform the voiceovers instead of relying on AI, which can be unsettling.

4. The Inside the NBA team took part in a spelling bee last night, which did not go well for Shaq, thanks to a clever trick by Ernie Johnson.

5. Bill Belichick will temporarily be overshadowed in terms of bad PR by the Ravens. On Monday, Baltimore released a highly controversial statement announcing the departure of kicker Justin Tucker due to the team’s “current roster situation.”

Tucker has faced allegations of sexual misconduct from 16 women.

6. This week’s SI Media With Jimmy Traina podcast features a discussion with Bryan Curtis, editor-at-large at The Ringer and host of the The Press Box podcast.

The conversation covers various topics including the public’s reaction to Mel Kiper Jr.’s comments about Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft, ESPN’s draft coverage, and the criteria for choosing on-air talent.

Also discussed are Bill Belichick’s problematic CBS Sunday Morning interview during his book tour, who might dare to challenge Belichick with tough questions, and other broadcasting decisions affecting sports personalities like Shannon Sharpe and Aaron Rodgers.

Following Curtis, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV joins for a segment called “Traina Thoughts,” discussing topics like WrestleMania 41, unfortunate betting losses, and tips for selling a baseball card collection.
