^That's another one that bugs me. I think I heard the Spurs actually had their banners redesigned to say NBA champions instead of world champs. That was pretty classy, I thought.
I forgot where I read this, but someone on some messageboard made a really good point about Dwyane Wade's "fall seven times, get up eight" campaign. If you fall down seven times, THE ABSOLUTE MOST times you could get up is SEVEN TIMES. In order to get up eight times, you would have to fall down EIGHT TIMES. Logically, the phrase doesn't make any sense.
Except for that ol' Walton standard, "HOOOOORRRRRRIBLE!"?
I'd have to say "dynasty". I am so frickin' tired of hearing about how this team had a dynasty and that one had a dynasty, but the Spurs are not a dynasty because they have not repeated. Give me a frickin' break already! That is a term SOMEBODY MADE UP. We don't need a dynasty by anyone else's definition. DRob has two rings. Timmy has three. Tony, Manu, and Bruce all have two. All with the Spurs. If that's not enough to be a "dynasty", we sure as don't need to be one. Repeat schmepeat.
How true. And have you ever noticed how he never lands on his feet when he goes up for a dunk?
What if you start out already on the ground?
That's what I was thinking.What if you start out already on the ground?
Kori, I want to respond to your point, but the boobs got me hypnotized. I try to avoid it from happening, but the changing bras are too hypnotic.
Maybe they are talking about when he gets up in the morning. "Go to bed seven times, get up eight" would then be very confusing.That's what I was thinking.
"Tim is on the floor holding his ankle"
"Timmy just got poked in the eye"
"Spurs give up the offensive board"
"NVE misses the 30ft shot with 21 seconds left on the clock"
Technically I know they are not phrases, but I have gotten so used to hearing them they qualify as phrases to me.
As for the topic, I don't really have any phrases that bug me in broadcasts. I can somehow tune out the announcers just like I tune out commercials. I don't hear them at all. I only pay attention to what the announcers are saying if I'm trying to get clarification on something that happened.
I thought about that too, maybe he was stretching before he fell down the first time? Or maybe they are counting him getting up out of bed?
I wish I could do that with Walton.
"Backdoor cut" is the one that gets me. Ouch.
i like it when that guy that called the lakers-suns game 4 says 'bang!!!' when a big shot is hit. but it does get annoyin sometimes when he says it too much in just one game. like it loses that special effect. but overall i love it when he says BANG!. mmm then i dislike whatever the gregg anthony has to say about the spurs cuz its usually something on the verge of negativity
Ooh, I just thought of another one. I hate the Miami Heat announcer: "Dwyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn nne Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddd ddde." He does it with all the other players too, but for some reason that one just pisses me off.
You're right about that:
Spurs Change Banners
Oh, ! I just thought of the one I hope I have to dread in the near future...."DEEEEEEEEEEETROIT BAAAASKET-BAAAALLLL!" I didn't hear that once while I was watching the game yesterday (although, I admit, I did not see the whole game)...ai-yi-yi! Not looking forward to that at all.
Anything coming out of Walton's mouth.
But that wasn't even Nowitzki's final stumble. As he left the postgame interview podium after telling everyone how he wouldn't score 35 in the series or get any open looks, he nearly tripped over a chair while exiting stage right.
It shouldn't surprise anyone if it was Bowen who put that chair there.

i read THAT PHRASE and i just had to share !!
That's perfect.
I think he used to be with Orlando back when Shaq was there. Whenever there was a dunk he'd go SLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM. and when there was a three he'd go THHHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. It was really annoying when the all-star game was in Orlando, because he'd do that on one end and there'd be a dunk or a three on the other end before he was finished.
On a related note but different sport, I hate when a pitcher hits a home run and somebody says he's "helping his own cause". Who, when hitting a home run, doesn't help his own cause?
I hate the Pistons re ed ass arena announcer Mason and his ridiculous player intros. Don't quit your day job.
M-M-M-M-M-MASON!
SHUT THE F-F-F-F-F-F- UP!
"Step up", "stepped up" or "stepping up"...or any other variation of this tired ass cliche.
mine?
"And the referees for tonight.... Bennett Salvatore, Bavetta and Violet Palmer"
I can't believe nobody has said anything about Marv Albert and "He served up a facial!"
