I've no idea what that means. However, I'd much rather listen to Drexler than the those two other hicks that sometimes cover the Rockets broadcasts. Those guys don't even like basketball.

Clyde should thank the Rockets' front office for his only title

No shit.
I know he works for the Rockets broadcast team, so one would expect him to be a homer. However, mix in a lili' objectivity. Not every call that goes against the Rockets is a bad call and not every call that goes in favor of the Rockets, a good call.
The guy is just annoying. He makes me long for Calvin Murphy.

Actually he should first thank the Trail Blazer front office for agreeing to his request to be traded.

The color guy is always a homer. Drexler's no worse than Elliott.
It's the play-by-plsy guy who's supposed to have a semblance of objectivity, and Bill Worrell is one of the absolute worst when it comes to that.

Drexler is annoying but if I were a fan of another team I'd hate listening to Elliott.

"Damnest" is not a word, and "damndest" does make sense when used the way it has been used in that sentence.

Still, Drexler is a fucktarded homer. He was giving Lesley Alexander a verbal rim-job during the first half.

Ninja did work for TNT for a while so I think he has a higher ceiling than most of the other homers. But he is a natural. His only issue is his bias, otherwise he's a solid announcer. Most other local announcers are biased AND suck.

Elliott was actually with ESPN, and was pretty good when he was. Since he's become the Spurs' color guy, though, the problem is not just that he's become such a homer, it's that he's also become incredibly lazy. He obviously doesn't prepare for the other team and just relies on whatever outdated information he happens to have plus his natural glibness.
He's got no incentive to get better, though, because Spur Fan eats up whatever he has to say. He's definitely on the track to Heinsohndom.

A few gems from the Rockets broadcast team:
"The Rockets did everything they could to win, but when you're playing against the Spurs, you know all of the calls will go their way."
"It looks like the Spurs are going to win this one thanks to a few dubious calls from the refs."
I could tell Clyde and the other guy were in a whiny mood early in the game. I had no idea just how bad it was going to get.

I see your point. I agree with that. He does take the easy way. He could be very good but he would have to call games other than the Spurs, and obviously that's not really in the cards.

Or thank Uncle Cliffy for having hands of stone in Los Angeles in 1991. That was Portland's year, the Detroit and Chicago series were not Portland's best team (besides the 76-77 world champs).

Drexler is the second worst, behind Heinhson (By the way, he is the living proof that you can win big and be stupid at the same time).
He is less tedious than Heinhson, as he looks like he is drunk all the times.
Best, by far, I heard this year is Mike Fratello (NJN).
Not that I doubted it.

My fiance who doesn't even like or understand basketball asked me why that one guy seemed so biased against the Spurs. I explained that he was a broadcaster for the other team and she said he's just annoying.
Drexler was one of my favorite players as a player, but as an announcer he's just behind Heinhson in the annoying homer announcer category.

Drexler is soooo bad that instead of making a joke about your fiance being a man, I'm having to just agree with you.
I was flabbergasted that even when the slowmo replay confirmed the refs' calls, that he was still saying the Spurs were flopping or "where's the contact?". Even Elliott will give in a little and say, "well, maybe".

In noticed one thing about the announcers ... the more success their team had in the past (esp. won a championship), the more annoying they are and they deserve it a little bit. Last home against the Kings I tried to listen to Land/Elliott from a neutral perspective and it was as horrible as Drexler is a homer with the Rockets.
I wish the Clippers more success and hope their great announcing team does not evolve into these kind of extreme homers. I also like the Knicks announcers and it even if it pains me to say - yes - the Lakers announcers are less homers than the Spurs.
So, according to my theory above, the Hornets announcers are the most terrible - just remember our last blowout loss in NO. These guys have never won anything, show no respect at all to the visiting teams and cheer every good action of the Hornets as if they just won the championship. I cannot stand to lose to the Hornets ever again ...

Clyde Frazier and his partner seen to be none bias and even call his team out on various ocassions.
Talking about the Knicks here.
I watch quite a few Knicks game myself and the times I do they seen to call a good game, not favoring one or the other. Save for when the Knicks win obviously.

Yeah, and he's a blithering idiot. I think someone mentioned that he's a drunk, and I've suspected that for a while. Fact is, if you ever wonder why a blithering idiot is working in sportscasting, chances are he's an ex-jock. The more successful the more idiocy they seem to tolerate.
Elliott and Land are sacrastic homers tbh, they'll give hints that the Spurs got away with a non-call or that they were handed a call...by calling it a great call and laughing or saying something along the lines of Im not complaining. I think thats tolerable as long as you pick up on the sarcasm. I dont have League Pass but the way you guys are describing these other announcers, they dont seem to be that way which would be pretty intolerable imo.

I watched a few Rockets game and in one game (can't remember which one, could be a Dallas game), the other guy heavily alluded to the fact that Drexler is drinking.
The guy is probably broke and needs to pay energy bills.

Outstanding: NJN (Fratello knows basketball and you actually LEARN by listening).
Very good: Clippers, Kings, Knicks, Golden State.
Terrible: Boston, Houson, NOLA, in that order.
The rest is average, including SA.
