“I heard the latest Mismatch. First, Black Lives Matter. Second, less is more, Kevin. What is the point of being a human bumper sticker and repetitively saying, like a concussed parakeet, we need to talk about “having a discussion on race” and “ending racial injustice and police brutality”? People have been saying those statements for years. They have lost their meaning. And you fell into the same trap. What is the virtue of repeating those statements with nothing after? This isn’t a rhetorical question. It’s not like you’re speaking from a bullhorn in a Mississippi town square in 1950. The Mismatch is an NBA podcast. Talk basketball. But in the moment, you’re gonna break the sphere of the NBA, say something besides meaningless pap you’d even see on corporate billboards placating the hoard’s current mood. Listeners are with you and if they’re not, what in the hell are you actually saying? A bunch of clichés? Your conversation with Chris morphed to these inane monologues littered with statements of no substance. Either forward some new message or move on. Again, Black Lives Matter. It’s OK to not have anything more to say in that moment. Cuz you didn’t. You’re a white basketball writer, not Malcolm X. You’re not less of a person if you stop yourself from yammering unsubstantial bloviating belches. You’d just be succinct. You say “I always wanted to share my thoughts.” Great. Share them. But those weren’t thoughts. Those were words. ...
Love the pod, Chris & Kevin O'Cliche.
P.S. - Kev, glad ya finally decided to be reasonable and fairly critical of players every blue moon. I don’t know if it was cowardice or not wanting to lose a source by insulting someone with constructive but true analysis, but it’s nice you finally have shared some criticisms. There’s a difference between mean maliciousness and objective analysis. If every word ya say is positive you’re not in the business of analysis, you’re in PR.”Read full review »

“When you’re used to hearing BS rant about hoops, there will be a drop-off with just about anyone else. He’s a tough act to follow. I thought episode 2’s content was pretty good, but the delivery needs work. Between all the vocal fry and the constant use of “like”, it got annoying. I thought that...”Read full review »
