I noticed this, but you know what? It's nothing new. The media has never given the Spurs their due. Actually, I should say most of the media. The guys on ESPN and ABC don't, but the guys on TNT definitely do. Chuck and Kenny respect the hell out of the Spurs. 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:
