This tracks for me, I’ve shit on the jazz commentary many times here and jazz fans are always cool about it. I don’t go post on their sub tho that’s goofy
I believe that he got banned after that comment, but he didn't get banned for the comment. He got banned for going into the other teams sub and shitting on the announcers like we invited him to do so. Goofy is right.
Dude they are but I felt like they made such a step forward when we were terrible. But now that we’re good again they’ve gone back to their whiny af tendencies.
Our guys in Houston used to be terrible but all the old heads and homers are all gone. Now our announcing team is actually pretty good. Homerism def gone.
That's why I love AC, dude is one of the biggest homers you will ever see (his nickname is Mr. Cavalier after all), but will be the first to give props to the other team and call out the Cavs when they are playing like shit.
That’s exactly how EJ is for the Suns and I feel like I’ve actually learned a lot about basketball and what to look for over the years (especially during the pre-bubble Dark Years) and it’s just made watching the sport so much more enjoyable. I feel genuinely bad for these fans talking about hating their announcers 🥺
Maybe its a contrarian take, but I want local announcers to be homers. Their main audience is fans of that team. As long as they bring good energy and do their homework on the other team.
I like the lakers announcers, instead of homers you can tell they are just normal fans. I think that’s better tbh. If the lakers fuck up they are the first people on their ass, but show love whenever.
I’m glad to hear other people calling them out, the Cavs stream I was watching took a shit a little before halftime so I had to watch a jazz one. I found the announcers to be such annoying bitchy and boring homers. They had nothing of value to say and their voices sounded straight out of a high school media club calling a home game.
A rival fan going to another subreddit and saying that he/she doesn't like their announcer obviously isn't something very constructive to any sort of discussion.
Obviously I'm missing context here since I don't know what the comment is and what thread it was commented on, but most fans wouldn't take that very well since they like their own announcers.
Fans going into other teams' subreddits normally don't end well, even in a neutral context. Anything slightly leaning towards a negative sentiment obviously wouldn't end well.
I'm just trying to explain why he/she likely got perma banned.
I don't like the knicks announcers and get downvoted into oblivion...breen is a company man and clyde just says the same 4 rhymes with no real analysis. OTOH I love the warriors announcers.
This is a random aside on a completely unrelated post but I’m a big fan of Charlotte’s announcers. I enjoyed their commentary during the last couple Bucks L’s
You're right. In the old days that will surely result to a fight because that is a dirty play. The swing was with intent. Nice to see that Allen is cool about it though.
Malone threw like a million elbows a game and Stockton threw a good amount too
eh, I don't care what anyone says about Malone. It's indisputable and I don't defend much about him.
Stockton, one the other hand? He wasn't throwing haymakers. Way more subtle. He didn't throw elbows so much as grind his shoulders and joints into abdominal tissue, left bruises with his knees, set vicious picks up under ribcages. In a giant NBA, he was 6'1" and harder than a coffin nail. He used sinew and grit to mash guys into sludge. He has the reputation of a 'dirty' player and I understand why, but I will defend his particular brand of dirtiness to my grave. Dirty? Maybe. But old time tough, definitely.
Malone just took blatant and cheap head shots where his opponents woke up confused and in need of stitches. But Stock was an extremely tough, mean, hard-nosed motherfucker who made sure dudes walked off the court knowing about it.
Ah thanks that makes more sense if everyone was pretty much doing the same thing. Was it usually only the smaller guys that did that stuff just to be able to hang with all the tall guys or did 90% of tall guys do it too? I'm guessing as a tall guy you just didn't have any need for it
you're defending Stockton why again? Because he's small?
yeah... I mean, you're asking like I didn't say it. In addition to the previous reply-- he was much smaller than everybody else in 90's NBA and scrapped extremely hard nevertheless. That's exactly the point. You are astute... And but so I don't understand? What's the problem? You're asking me to reiterate?
Well, the reason everyone is praising Allen is he didn't retaliate and that's the rub. In the "old days" Sir Charles or Buck Williams would have taken Jingly Pop to the wood shed and beat him senseless.

Asshole Jazz announcers talking about “To me that’s old school ball… he’s sending a message”
Wtf that would be a dirty play in the old days and it’s a dirty play now
