Kevin O'Connor is like a poor, poor man's Zach Lowe. The majority of his articles read like something I could write.

If you hear him on a Ringer pod a few days after Lowe Post comes out he always references it. It's pathetic. I like listening to The Mismatch to hear Chris Vernon bash KOC.

I do enjoy Chris Vernon calling him out constantly.

KD easily. I don't mind the blog boys but certain guys really get grating after a while. Zach Lowe and Kevin O'Conner. Brian Windhorst. They have such obvious bias and try to blather on about it like their opinion is based in analytics or what they see during 5 minutes of a game on league pass. It gets nauseating.
I like Lowe in written form but not on TV/podcasts. I actually believe that he really does watch basketball and offers good insights when breaking down X's and O's. On TV he's just another windbag and I find him off-putting on his podcast, too. But I still like reading his preview of playoff series.

KOC tries to sneak in hipster music takes too. It's like...nobody cares about the Muse show you went to douchebag.

I like his pods, but not really on TV. Then again, I don't like most analysts/writers on TV.

On podcasts he talks over his guests too often and too often doesn't acknowledge what they just said. It seems like he isn't listening and is just waiting for his next turn to speak.

That's fair. I guess I'm just to used to that in podcasts, especially when it is a recorded phone conversation.

He's a know it all who thinks if he references some analytics it negates the fact he's just another dork who has league pass.

I said "too often" twice within a span of five words. I'll be in timeout for the next few minutes.

There is a Bulls one called Cash Considerations that is just as cynical as the title makes it sound that I really like too.

I liked Andrew Sharp at Grantland. I might have to check that one out.
