He has soiled himself with all this Warriors excitement, tbh:lol..
This was some of the most biased announcing in Spurs history, tbh..he was openly cheering for the Warriors, complaining about every anti-Warriors call and ignoring anti-Spurs calls, he cheered when Harrison Barnes made that jump shot in OT:lol..
Hopefully he has a stroke soon, tbh..
Mike turico was worse. "There you go" "there you go". He busted a nutt when they took the lead.
I defended the guy prior, but today he was horrible. Tirico wasn't much better. The Warrior knob-slobbing has been intense all series long.
:lol "off the glass"..
I'm piping in WOAI for the next one.
He was absolutely fucking atrocious
Both of them were obviously going for the Warriors. Very fucking unprofessional if you ask me..
This fucker won't die IMHO.
I usually don't get that mad at Hubie but today was pretty f'n hilarious tbh :lol
The game was in GS and they're a heavy underdog. Spursfans butthurt over something so trivial Big friggin deal!
:lolQuote:

And don't get me started on Hubie. Dude is blind as a bat. Gets excited about Bogut drawing a charge (he didn't) after Parker is fouled. Erroneously says that Green banks a three in when it was an absolute swish. Getting really excited when a foul call was called on Leonard for over the back. Saying that Bogut needs to have possession of the ball when his foot was on the line (possession does not matter) while the ball was touching them.
How about the camera crew? Let's see...there were two phantom calls to put the Spurs in the penalty in the fourth and I didn't get 1 damn replay to see where this mysterious call came from. Also, the decibel meter made it back to the telecast.
All this being said, Spurs lost a game that the championship teams of yester year would have won. You can't give games away in the playoffs, especially when your heel is on the opposing team's neck.
They were both terrible, tbh.
Tirico has always been a Spur hater, but Hubie Brown is clearly sucking on the Warriors very hard.
surprised they weren't wearing yellow shirts tbh :lol
please compliment my Spurs :cry
please love my Spurs :cry

He called Manu, "Manano." He called Golden State, "Garden State."
He should be in a nursing home being fed Jello. I'm not sure how he's allowed to speak into a microphone on national TV.
Nope, just please commentate with no bias. Not really hard to do. These two were worse than Elliott and Bill Land. Doesn't matter though, won't be listening to the next game with the equally senile Dick Stockton and the Warrior die hard, Chris Webber.Quote:

That being said, today was even worse. I was floored at how much he was openly cheering for GS. Tirico is also terrible and I'm so tired of his corny ass attempts at one liners.
I would have thought Gary Neal would be one of Tirico's favorite players, they have a similar interests:lol..
The Warriors are exciting and new and people are sick and tired of the Spurs. Just watch the games on mute. That's what I do.
Maybe I'll play some music the next game. :lolQuote:

It's pretty much unbearable watching the Spurs on ESPN/ABC with the volume on, and I can't remember when it wasn't.
Good post! I agree 100%Quote:

WTF?
No Shite . Missus was in the background . She has no idea who Hubie Brown is but said he showing a lot of bias towards GS.
When Spurs did something good , it was GS playing bad. When GS did something of significance , they are great.
His love affair with Bogut was even more comical.
:( that's so uncoolQuote:
Hopefully he has a stroke soon, tbh..
Listening to the local Golden State announcers could not be worse ... I hate it when Hubie Brown explains what the Warriors have to do better here and there ... and if they do it, he says "there you go" ... I mean, does he have a dog?
I say roll over Warriors and you get a biscuit ...
I know it's just a joke but... Come on, that's not funny.Quote:

I've always liked Hubie, but I completely agree with others claiming Hubie has been a GS homer in this series. Honestly, I believe he's following a directive from ABC/ESPN because, if anything, he's always been pro-Spurs.
As espn has gained power over the years, they feel comfortable showing more and more bias towards teams they want to win.
Normally a Hubie defender and I like his knowledge of the game, but last night was painful to listen to. He really needed to reel it in on the GS love.
That was my favorite Hubieism from last night.Quote:

Da fuck?
I miss the NBA on NBC.
As annoying as Hubie is, it is the announcer's job to reel in the color guy, and Tirico completely failed at that. He's just as much a GS cheerleader as Hubie is.
Agreed, Hubie is one of my favorites. He IS very knowlegable and is a very good announcer. The bias he is showing towards the GSWarrior is definately evident and gets under my skin too. I think Marv Albert is the only other announcer that I'd rather have covering a game tbh..Quote:

i agree, it was too much.
I had to mute it for awhile too. But that's not the first time I've muted an ESPN/ABC broadcast.
Speechless.Quote:
