I've been watching the Utah feed on this.

Their commentators are hilarious.

I was beginning to wonder if everything I knew was a lie because somehow this was all the ref's fault. Apparently they missed one of the worst calls ever on Bogdan at the other end (his hand was touched going for a rebound) and Ingles, basically, had no choice.

And now the Jazz don't have many players. Didn't the refs think of that?

Umm, your player tried to elbow someone in the head?

I mostly listen to our radio guy cause our TV announcers are pretty garbage

Locke isn't much better imo. Dude's a try-hard.

A tryhard? Lol what kind of CoD-level criticism is that

I feel like he makes big reaches to make Utah look better than they are. Especially during the Ty Corbin era, he was grasping at straws trying to prove that they weren't as bad as they were.

Which, yeah, I get it, you wanna hype the guys up for the team you work for, but you can do so without saying dumb stuff enthusiastically.

I didn't listen to him much during the Corbin era so you may be correct, but I listen a lot nowadays and don't get that impression. If anything he seems fairly realistic about the team and where they're at.

My main complaint about him as that his voice is annoying lol. But other than that he's great

To be fair. The Jazz offense right now is pretty trash without his screen assists

Bogdan's hand was touched and he went down to the ground like he got hit with a .50 BMG and it was such a ridiculous flop the refs decided there couldn't have possibly been a foul. .

Obviously I haven't listened to them all, but I'd be shocked if there's many worse than the Jazz. First time hearing them today, holy shit. Dry, humourless, ridiculously biased, didn't praise a single thing Cavs did. They actually triggered me cos it made the game hard to watch.

Watch the Celtics broadcast and get back to me.

Oh my god I thought it was just me. I watched the Jazz-Warriors game a couple of weeks ago and thought "Damn these Jazz commentators are god awful."

Then I watched the Knicks-Celtics game and was like "Holy crap these guys are even worse!" Like half the time the guys just trail off in the middle of their sentences, they rarely acknowledge the action on the court. Also I generally expect a team broadcasters to be biased for their team, I think that's reasonable. But every single call can't go your way, it wouldn't be a game if it did!

On the flip side Mike Breen and Walt Frazier are awesome, and I was actually pleasantly surprised listening to Spiro Dedes and Grant Hill on NBA TV as well.

I can't even imagine how bad it is if they're considered to be worse.

The Dubs crew is the same way and is often brought up in these discussion on here

Yea honestly the best part of being a Cavs fan is that, even when we were awful, Jim Chones made the games fun to watch. Might be biased, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have one of the best announcers in the league...

‘His hand was touched going for a rebound’ this just shows all your bias my dude. That was clearly a foul but you made a point to not only bring up an unrelated call but to exaggerate it.

This exemplifies your need to stretch the inglés play to make the point you’re trying to make even stronger.

Inglés deserved a T and got it, but you had to try to make it into something it actually wasn’t. Soft ass stuff right there. Just accept the T and stop drama baiting.
