Most biased announcer ever

[rAm]

Anyone watching the spurs/suns game on NBA TV? I have never heard a more biased announcer. He has been jocking the suns all night, its embarassing.

[dougp]

I just started yelling at him ...

[slayermin]

It's the Suns' announcers.

[AFBlue]

NBA TV isn't actually legitimate....

They use the announcing crew for one of the two teams that are playing instead of supplying their own crew.

TNT and ESPN>>>>>>>>>>>>>NBA TV

[RonMexico]

Have you ever listened to Sean Elliiott before?

And yes, this is the Suns' crew: Tom Leander (graduate of my high school) and Dan Majerle.

[J.T.]

I can't understand these Chinese guys calling the game.

[Brodels]

Have you watched the Celtics in the last 20 years?

I think the guy thought these announcers were supposed to be nuetral.

Still....they are pretty annoying.

[Mr. Body]

Given they're Phoenix announcers, they're not as annoyingly partisan as you'd think.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I wouldn't mind them if they hadn't talked about bowen "intentionally" kneeing nash in the groin.

[BonnerDynasty]

MOJOHD Doesnt even have the fucking game on. It's been blacked out the entire time :(

[mffl89]

I can't understand these Chinese guys calling the game.

Are you in China watching it on CCTV 5?

[AnotherArgie]

You should see Manu's brother on National TV here. Can't be more biased than that. But it's funny as hell :)

i was thinking the same thing at the beginning of the game, but then i realized they were suns announcers. what bothers me is that he kept calling boris diaw 3-D. i said, they should at least call him d3, before i heard him refer to a defensive 3 seconds as a d3. great call. after he called marion's dunk an "orange crush," i was tempted for the mute button.

lmao! :lol

[K-State Spur]

i have no problem with bias (sean clearly is).

i don't see why some of these announcers feel the need to constantly rip and make fun of the other team though. it's very unprofessional IMHO.

[El_Mago]

Sean is so spurs biased too, but funny.

Yeah, the guy your talking about is Tom Leander and he is a tool. Most Suns fan can't stand the guy.

[easjer]

We seem to have these threads anytime we have a nationally aired broadcast without Spurs announcers. :lol

Since I expect hometown announcers to call the game with a bias, here is what annoys me:

-Ripping up or making fun of the other team - it's unprofessional and better left to fans.
-Incessant whining about the past (I don't like it if Spurs announcers do it - I hope that doesn't happen in the future without Tim Duncan).
-Refusal to acknowledge bad calls/pretending the other team commits phantom fouls and that no one on your team commits a foul (one of the things I really like about Spurs announcers is that they are willing to admit when there was a foul or when they got away with something. They don't spend minutes at a time going on about a bad call or no call).
-Actively wishing opposing teams ill - like, say, wishing for a hard foul, encouraging them to 'get physical' or hoping that a player gets injured or is seriously injured (I thought the Blazers broadcast was pretty good when Timmy went down - handled it pretty well, all things considered)

Once you knew the announcers tonight were Suns announcers (which we didn't at first either) - they were fairly benign compared to others around the league. I didn't enjoy them and objected to several statements - but I didn't have to mute it like I did against the Rockets or against Dallas, or inevitably against the Celtics.

I can't understand these Chinese guys calling the game.


Have the announcers been outsourced?

It really was bad. The funny thing is, I normally block announcers out no matter who they are. But these guys were like nails on a chalkboard.

I get so tired of listening to the same ol' "It's just a matter of time till the Spurs blow them out" routine....especially when the are down 1. At least wait until they are up five or six before you do it.

[urunobili]

they made sure all the Spurs fans watching the game hated them for good... that was such a one sided Spur hating broadcast... really pissed me off.. probably more than the december loss we suffered...

[Sweetey]

The ALL TIME most biased and biggest jackass announcer is Bill Walton. I remember when the Rockets won back to back Championships -- Walton hated the Rockets and didn't mind letting everyone watching know it. He is the ultimate jerk!

suns nicknames are gay: matrix, 3d, stat. sounds like a computer science class LMAO

dan majerle is not too bad though

[bejanicek]

all of them are biased in some way, i loved it when sean last night wrote UGLY on the screen after watching marion's shot fall in after getting the lucky bounce and just the way he shot it.

[phxspurfan]

Thunder Dan was the man in his heyday. I have possibly more respect for him than I even have for John Starks. That being said, he needs a new partner. I watch a lot of local Suns broadcasts here and the guy is almost annoying enough to mute the volume (which is thankfully done at the gym and bars).
