After last night, I think we can all agree...

[TheGreatYacht]

Elliott is dog , who are we kidding? Only homers could appreciate him

Wtf? He ain't a homer, he just happens "to miss" some calls that go our way

Sean is the goat color commentator

[TheGreatYacht]

Those Rockets commentators called Ginobili the biggest flopper in the game

Flopper.... Rockets... Harden.....

Anytime I hear someone talk up Bill Schoening, I am convinced beyond a doubt that they've never heard another radio play by play guy. Bill Schoening is awful at his job. He's supposedly a very, very nice guy - but that doesn't make him good at what he does. He adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast for me as a listener. In fact, he takes away from it with his goofy Kawhi-not's, its a Manu tres, tre bien, and so on.

"Remember the Alamo, and remember your Spurs are Champions once again". -- Bill Schoening 2003 (How long did it take to think that one up?)

In my opinion, although its public knowledge the guy was an asshole, Jay Howard was the best. He took his job seriously and took pride in delivering broadcasts.

Have to disagree.

I've lived in several major metro areas over the last 30 years, including NYC, DC, Atlanta, and the Bay Area. For me, Schoening does a top notch job of letting me see the game through his words.

It's been 15 years since Jay did play-by-play. I don't remember much about him. I like the way Bill calls games, he's always been very listenable to me. Never missed a game, so I think he takes his job pretty seriously.

I've only heard clips of Howard, so I can't really compare, but I agree with your take on Bill.

I watch em all on league pass or national tv. I know SE is called a homer, etc...But I live in H-town, two names for you: Worrell and Drexler. Jesus. Spur fans are lucky to have that group tbh...

This! I remember watching the Houston feed last year when they played the Spurs, ginobili came in & worrell said "and here comes the biggest flopper in the game".

I've been a fan of Schoening since his UT days and I like him as the radio voice of the Spurs, but you're right- Jay Howard was completely awesome and you can't put the two side by side.

I think I remember the reason for Jay leaving was because of "office politics" and if that was so... damn that's sad.

I think Sean is a much better analyst than he is a color commentator.

Seems the two jobs go hand and hand with the former players having a lot of good information to share. The "color" end of the job might be a little out of your average athletes wheelhouse, but I am really impressed with Sean's presence and energy. For those that call him a 'homer' I'm thinking "....and what team did you play on?"

[HI-FI]

Bill Land is pretty good imo. I have no problems with Sean either. Worst for me are the Denver guys. I also like Breen and Frasier.

Whenever Sean talks, he raises his eyebrows and lowers the sides of his mouth. He looks like Beeker from the Muppets:
