to change the subject from depressing monta ellis news.

jeff van gundy just signed a five year deal with ESPN to remain a color commentator with mike breen and mark jackson.

i didn't think i would, but i actually like jeff van gundy as a color commentator. he does, i think, a better job of explaining somewhat complicated defensive sets to the average viewer, and he makes mike breen look like less of an idiot. plus, i like him way better as a broadcaster than i did when he was a coach.

so how do you feel about van gundy being the voice of sunday ABC basketball for years to come?

yo,

not really a regular around here. i'm a displaced warriors fan currently living in seattle. it sucks; i don't have the w's games (haven't in about 5 years), but now i don't even have the sonics to watch. sorta sucks. as a result, i'm looking for a way to get some games online. is there a way to do this? if so, does anyone have recommendations?

many thanks in advance, and as a long-time GSOM lurker, gotta say: this is a great blog. i should've contributed earlier.
