00:00I want to get your opinion because I've already gone on record as saying I think it's a joke that Miller's calling this series because he's such a homerized milk toast femme for the Pacers.
00:12He's, you know, in the in the previous series, he was he was literally on the court high fiving players in the middle of the game.
00:20And then last night he was doing it again, pointing at players, you know, like, you're my guy.
00:26Nice job.
00:27He's a cheerleader for them.
00:28And, you know, I said, in essence, where I come from at Ernie Pyle School of Journalism, I remember at the beginning of my career, just everyone told me the same thing.
00:38You can never be rooting for a team when you're calling games, play by player analyst.
00:45You can't be rooting for a team.
00:46You have to be objective, in particular, doing a national broadcast.
00:50And I think it is just insanity that they let this guy root for the Pacers all night on national television.
00:57In fact, I think they get a kick out of it.
00:59But I think it's embarrassing.
01:04I'm going to be careful here because I work for NBC and we just hired him.
01:07But this is not the guy I would have put in this place.
01:12You're right.
01:12I think it's partially I don't want to say they're trying to antagonize, but I think they like the energy.
01:17I think they like that kind of dynamic of him not liking the Knicks and that kind of playing into something.
01:22But it's not it's not where I would have gone with, you know, with, you know, all the options they had for that booth.
01:31Because this is just this is the lone TNT series.
01:33This is your A team.
01:34You could have gone a lot of directions.
01:37So, you know, that's a nice way of saying I'm right without you getting in trouble.
