Had me rolling
LMAO this.
How about that block Green had on Lawson and they were so pissed it wasn't called a foul even tho Green didn't touch him at all?

Those refs were horrible. LOL @ Duncan getting a offensive foul for Lawson tripping over his feet.
You guys watched the game on league pass instead of local TV with Eliott and Land? I guess it's interesting to see it from a different perspective. League pass expires after tonight so you may as well use it. Btw...does anybody actually pay for league pass? I mean you can watch every spurs game for free and see more than enough games on NBA TV, ESPN, and TNT. Plus I couldn't find the league pass channels in HD anywhere, and hearing one side's announcers can get really annoying.
Free where?
In other team areas people have no choice....
I have all League Pass channels in HD here... Dish.
Directv with sports pack. Way cheaper than League Pass.

The Denver announcers have started to make me regret my decision to get regular instead of premium league pass.
Trust me, it gets worse.
The "biased announcers" discussion can be endless IMO. All announcers have to be biased to a certain degree because they have to appeal to the audience which mainly watches because of the home team. Bill and Sean are homers, make no doubt about it. Bill has his trademark saying as do many others who are in the business long enough. "Oh mama" might sound weird, but there is no difference to "Puts it up ... puts it in" (from a certain ESPN/Knicks announcer I very much appreciate). To me, announcers of less successful teams (Clippers before Paul, Kings, etc.) seem less biased, but they do not have much reason to be excited about their team anyways. But apart from the "biased" discussion there has to be discussion about how good/bad the announcers are. I am not an expert of rules etc. but there are many announcers who have much less basketball intelligence than Bill and Sean. But beware - all this comes from a biased Spurs fan so of course I find Spurs announcers more insightful and less "homeristic" (if that exists) than others.
was watching league pass yesterday and the houston announcers were in denial! They would show replays that were obviously against houston and they would deny it. I have never seen sean do that... there are times where is jokingly denies it but you can tell he is joking. Not Houston.
They're still homers, but they speak the truth more often than not. Those that complain that an opposing teams' home announcers are "too homerish", need to stop and understand that WINNING TEAMS do good more often than not, so the announcers are going to be pointing out their positives more often. The opposite will be the case if your team playing them is bad. Clearly you're going to get lambasted. That should be what happens.
People get too spoiled by ESPN who is known to bash specific teams and blows specific other ones. Especially when it comes to flashy, athletic teams. They get blown on national tv all the time but local announcers aren't going to do the same if their team isn't also an athletic, high flying team.
These 76ers guys are nice to listen to. I guess the fact that one is a Spurs fan kinda helps that.
Frankly, who gives a if team's announcers are homers or not? Spurs announcers are huge humors, along with every other team in the league's announcers.
I do.
I want it called straight. If it is a good call then say so, even against us.
Heh...yeah, he's the king of the homers by far.
