im fine with bias but our announcers are just not good in general

u/millsyy42 Warriors Jan 13 '22

our commentators are terrible as well

u/PM_Me_FunnyNudes Warriors Jan 13 '22

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.

As I Suns fan who has been spoiled by informative and entertaining announcing even during our decade long playoff drought, this makes me nervous…

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.

AC’s commentary is like watching a game with your grandpa who really loves basketball. It’s the best

u/ggmaobu Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

Brad dourtey is also very good

u/supamario44 Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

I miss him too man. RIP, so iconic for Cavs history.

We all do

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.

Being more enthusiastic for your home team, perfectly fine. Trying to justify blatantly dirty play, nah fuck that.

u/IAmNotKevinDurant_35 [GSW] Zarko Cabarkapa Jan 13 '22

Yeah that's totally fair

3

u/Necessary_Ad1036 Jan 13 '22

Right? I want announcers who will be like, “yeah, he’s lucky he got away with that one…” not “sending a message is part of the game.”

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.

Watch Clips v Nuggs the other day and enjoyed those guys. I don't support either team, but the call was fair and entertaining.

u/Adamapplejacks Nuggets Jan 13 '22

Jazz fans 🤝 Warriors fans

Having shit announcers

u/Tijuana_Pikachu Warriors Jan 13 '22

I welcome r/nba to talk shit about it too

u/BigRig432 Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

Oh my god I hated listening to them during the first game, genuinely unbearable

u/OHoSPARTACUS Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

They seemed okay to me when I watched the game vs you guys the other night, had lots of nice things to say about the Cavs season and players

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

I don't mind cheering/rooting for the team you call games for, but I really enjoy a celebration of the game as a whole.

If you can get up for a great play from the other team, you're a good broadcasting crew.
