Warriors, Clippers, Knicks and Nets are all quite enjoyable.

Agree on Houston and of course Boston being hideous. Miami's play-by-play guy, I actually can't listen to a broadcast by him.

Worst all-time is easily Boston since Heinsohn is such a jackass. The Rockets have always been pretty awful too. My two favorites of all time are 1. Chick Hearn and 2. the team of Ralph Lawler and Bill Walton that used to call Clippers games in the Olowokandi days.

The Nuggets have some of the biggest homer commentators I've ever heard. I went to school in Boulder and always watched Nuggets games.

They're def up there.

they're pretty fucking annoying, it's true.

i hate almost all of them, I can't stand homer commentators.

I especially hate:
spurs - no grown man should be called timmy
clippers - fuck the mormon and the other slaaaaam duuuuuunk douchenozzle
hornets - bottom? serious? that's the best catchphrase you can come up with?
knicks - walt frazier is like a pussy mark jackson
heat - need i say more? thank christ they're usually nationally televised so I don't have to listent to eric reid and whoever that other bender is
blazers - biggest homers of the pacific northwest. lol seattle.

While I think Dallas is alright, Followill is boring as fuck. Monotone, lame, and just dull. Skin is a douche who thinks he is funny and 'hip' but he just sounds like a cocky tool IMO. Ortegal was good back when he announced but he always said obvious shit. "they must get good looks to shoot better"

Derek Harper just sucks ass.

The most annoying

Not a homer, not biased, but painful to listen to

I don’t get to hear other announcers very often…But I really like the obnoxious guys from Boston, Ralph Lawler of the Clippers (although his side kick this years is awful)…I don’t like the Lakers Stu Lanz, I did like Joel Myers, and the guys from Cleveland are pretty good…They always sound so sad & depressed….:lol

Drexler just rephrases what Bill Worrell says before him. He's gotta be one of the worst announcers I've heard in years next to Tommy from the Celtics.

Boston's are the worst. Extreme homers.

Spurs and Thunder both have hardcore homer announcers too.

Agree with Bum (again) 100%

I dont like most of the local crews even the current Lakers ones ...

I do like Kevin Harlan and Marv albert though ... and I like Hubie Brown he reminds me of a sweet old grampa who knows his stuff ...

Followill brings the subtle goods almost every night imo, and when Skin talks basketball he's good (I agree he's terrible when he tries to be funny). Dumping Ortegal was a horrible decision.

tbh when Dirk retires it should take Cuban about .05 seconds to offer him a contract to be a Mavs announcer.
