What's next for Inside the NBA? Details on the hit sports show's future
What's next for Inside the NBA? Details on the hit sports show's future When the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks series officially comes to an end, that series won't be the only thing going away. That'll be the last time we ever watch TNT's Inside the NBA — the hit pre- and post-game NBA show that has given us so many laughs through the years, like this one. And this one. There's also this one. Oh, and this one, too. You get the point by now. The show isn't perfect, by any means. There are times when the analysts are wrong. There are times when you'd appreciate a more serious approach to the job. There are plenty of times when you wish they'd pay attention to more than a handful of teams. But, man. So many people have fallen for this show over the years, in one way or another. Now, because of the NBA's new television deal with Amazon, ESPN and NBC, Inside the NBA is being cast aside. We'll kind of. What's next for Inside the NBA? Inside the NBA is moving to ESPN. Warner Bros. Discovery agreed to a licensing deal to keep the show rolling back in November. There was the thought that the show would just disappear along with TNT's deal with the NBA, but this licensing deal keeps things alive. You'll still be able to watch Inside the NBA, but it'll be on a different network. It'll be broadcast on ABC and ESPN instead of TNT. Will the crew change? While the deal will send the show over to ESPN, the Inside the NBA talent you see on the show today will still remain. Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal and Ernie Johnson will still be the show's hosts. They'll also still be featured in other TNT programming, so you'll still see them working during March Madness, for example. The crew will be the same. The show will still run out of Atlanta. The only thing that is seemingly changing is the fact that its now under the NBA on ESPN umbrella instead of NBA on TNT. THE DETAILS: Kenny Smith was disappointed by how the Inside the NBA deal went down How will it work? It's a quirky situation, considering ESPN already has its own postgame and pregame programming. But there's no question that it pales in comparison to the Inside the NBA crew. ESPN is looking to use the Inside crew to cover its big events. Here's what the brand's statement said after the agreement: "The legendary Inside the NBA studio team will appear on ESPN and ABC surrounding high-profile live events, including ESPN's pregame, halftime and postgame coverage of the NBA Finals on ABC, Conference Finals, NBA Playoffs, all ABC games after January 1, Christmas Day, opening week, the final week of the season and other marquee live events." There will also likely be opportunities for crossover and collaboration between the two teams. We already saw a bit of that with the NBA Cup over these last two seasons. The broadcast crews have co-hosted shows side-by-side and interacted with each other in the wackiest ways. An example: Look forward to more of these shenanigans once these two sides unite.

Cape Cod restaurants: See what's new since last year on the Cape and Islands
New Cape Cod restaurants since last summer? How about three ramen shops, a boho Mexican kitchen in Chatham's old Cumberland Farms, new owners and a new name for Kate's Seafood in Brewster, and a self-serve wine bar at Mashpee Commons - just to name a few? With Memorial Day weekend upon us, it is time to welcome visitors back to Cape Cod and the Islands with news of new restaurants that have opened in the last year. In food news about new accolades for restaurants you may already know and love, USA Today named The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort in Dennis Port as one of the best restaurants in the country, while Sesuit Harbor Cafe in Dennis came in first when Cape Cod Times readers voted in a March Madness-inspired bracket. The Cape Cod Times also named 10 other restaurants we wish had made the USA Today list. Here is a brief introduction of new restaurants on Cape Cod since last summer. If you are a noodle fan, you are in luck: Tiger Ramen opened in Falmouth, Namazu Ramen is now in Chatham and Ukiyo Cape Cod took over the Brewster space formerly occupied by Fare & Just Kitchen. (Former owner Peter Duff is now cooking his vegan dishes at the Family Table Collaborative in Yarmouth.) Codo Mexican Kitchen opened on Main Street in Chatham. 'It's kind of a play on words cause when you meet someone from Chatham and ask where on the Cape they're from, they bend up their arm and point to their elbow. Codo means elbow in Spanish,' said Michael Martir, chief operating officer of Coastal Cuisine, the hospitality group that owns the new Codo Mexican Kitchen, as well as Pate's and Chatham Cut in Chatham, Chapin's Bayside on Taunton Avenue in Dennis, The Doghouse and One-Stop Market in Dennis Port. After 39 years as Kate's Seafood, the popular fish stand run by John and Kathy Ohman at 284 Paines Creek Road in Brewster has new owners and a new name: The Cape House is now owned and run by Robert and Izabelle Crisanti, who say they are keeping the fried fish and scooped ice cream menu for now. J. Bar, a healthy seasonal stop in Harwich Port for the past decade, opened its doors April 4 to a second location in the Shops at 400 Main in Chatham. The Wharf Falmouth, formerly Soprano's Casino by the Sea, has the same owners but a new name and new menu crafted by Chef Gavin Tyson who is focusing on 'French-based by the sea Marseille-styled dishes,' he said on Facebook. The restaurant at 286 Grand Ave. in Falmouth Heights offers spectacular water views. The Daily Brew purchased Silver Lounge in North Falmouth and held a yard sale of memorabilia from the 87-year-old restaurant – although word is the caboose was not for sale. The popular coffee house and cafe closed its doors in Cataumet on May 11. No word yet on when the new location will open. Cymbals Cafe @ The Faraway Nantucket Hotel is open, with house-made doughnuts and Partners Coffee from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesdays through Sundays. You don't have to be a hotel guest to enjoy coffee and doughnuts in the courtyard. Uva, the self-service wine bar that opened in downtown Plymouth in 2019, opened a second location in Mashpee Commons this past January. Just this month, they added a boutique-style shop next door so people can take home wines they enjoyed at the tasting bar. In Dennis, Erica and Adam Dunn, owners of Pheasant Restaurant and Dunn & Sons Wine, are opening Baleine Wine Bar Cape Cod (from the French word for whale) in the space occupied for decades by Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, which permanently closed. Also, theater fans can style the best afternoon or evening out with the help of Cape Cod Times' Dinner & a Show, a feature in which we introduce a local theater production and recommend two nearby restaurants to try.

Andrew Sharp joins KOC on this episode to discuss the Oklahoma City Thunder's 3-1 lead in the WCF. Has Anthony Edwards regressed to the point of being this era's version of Playoff James Harden? Have the Thunder "big 3" emerged to the point where a title is almost guaranteed in June? Plus speaking of OKC - Kevin and Sharp wonder if SGA has officially become the greatest player to ever wear a Thunder uniform (even beyond Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook). And the guys hit the Pacers-Knicks series out east, plus talk Chris Paul news, and NBA Draft latest. Then, Kevin sat down with Derik Queen, one of the stars of March Madness and current projected Lottery pick in this year's NBA Draft. Is he really "baby Jokic?" What does he need to work on? What sets him apart? Plus, a look back at what went through his mind during his all-time classic buzzer beater back in March. (0:40) OKC goes up 3-1 vs. Wolves (21:42) Could SGA be the best OKC player EVER?
