2468702, y'all approve of Matt Winer becoming the next Ernie Johnson, right?

I've always enjoyed him on NBATV and noticed that he's getting more of
Ernie's gigs now--e.g. hosting the NBA Roundtable shows
I just hope they don't have him on TNT with Shaq's goofy ass

2468722, He's good, he has put in work. But I don't like him in EJ's role, no.

He knows his stuff and he knows how to defer to the analysts but I don't see his personality meshing right for Inside the NBA. No one can replace Ernie exactly but someone a little less stiff would be better.

2468753, Pretty Much

EJ's personality can't really be replaced
Winer's not bad, but a lot stiffer than EJ

2468790, I don't remember Ernie's personality before Inside,

but I would think that Ernie had to learn to loosen up over the years.
Also, like Charlie said, no one is going to match up precisely with Ernie's personality so the show would have to be rebuilt anyway.
Keeping the show the way it is now would make everyone's job more difficult because the hosts would always be compared to the old show.

2468792, Winer has loosened up and he's still stiff

He is OK on NBATV and could be used to do features and stuff, but in studio there has got to be someone better.

2468733, he's vanilla as fuck

What ever happened to the guy who did espn nba 2nite? He was the effortlessly cooler version of stu scott. His career should've been way better than it turned out. I know I've heard his voice around but they got him doing scrap heap games.
