No offense, but I appreciate homerism when I watch the Spurs. I also appreciate the home fans in the ATT center beating the out of the opposition fans...
sorry, but that's just the way it is.
If you ain't first.... your last.
that's true. i think, when listening to other guys, you can tell how much of a homer they are based on how they react to the officiating

To me...the homerism is the only thing I don't like about Elliott's broadcasting.
I didnt see the game, they dont show it where I live, but how did Barry look? The box score looked good
The refs were awful in the fourth. I felt like we were getting penalized for making hustle plays. So infuriating!
Refs sucked on both sides in this game. I thought they were blind on some plays, but it was pretty evenly sucky.
Not a surprising response. I didn't think you could but I did give you the benefit of the doubt and I did ask nicely.Pop had some dumb rotations in that fourth quarter and he is damn lucky Bowen stopped everyone all by himself.
It was a great question. Good job.
Typical question you couldn't answer

Let me help you, then. Perhaps you were talking about when Parker had to rest. When TP had to go to the bench, the Spurs suffered and had their lead trimmed. The first half with Jacque Vaughn and in the 4th with Beno. The Spurs stood around a bit too much and didn't move the ball very well against the zone. Fortunately, Parker played well and was key in the win.
oh come on, loosen the heck up.To me...the homerism is the only thing I don't like about Elliott's broadcasting.
Its a hometown broadcast, i want to hear it from THAt point of view.
If I want "objective" wich Im completely sick of that goddamn word, Ill listen to the other team, or ESPN or TNT.
Other than that. Give me the darn homecooking.
Screw "objective"
The contact wasn't questionable... the amount of time it took the ref to dislodge the whistle from his throat was.
You like it...that's fine....I don't and don't have to.oh come on, loosen the heck up.

Maybe you should stop trying to tell people what they should and shouldn't like or do.
Whats wrong with Sean being a homer for a team that he's been apart of for so long? Besides don't they still pay him for doing the broadcast? And its not like he doesn't give respect to the opposing team. He always has nothing but good things to say about each team the spurs play. Like some one said earlier in the thread, he's the first one to criticize the team to.

I like Sean and always have....he is funny as , I think he does a great job and I don't think he is as huge of a homer as people like to believe but I think at times he can be. I agree with you also about him being respectful of the other team. I have heard him compliment many opposing players many times.
I know that all team broadcasters can be homerish and I understand it. You essentially work for the team and are around them almost year-round. I understand the homerism and I know its part of the deal...I am just not a huge fan of that particular element of the job. I don't really even consider it "wrong"...Its really a personal preference thing, not a suggested course of action to anyone.
My post really wasn't directed towards anybody. But as far as Elliot goes he's one of my all time favorite Spurs.That was me.

The week of the 99 finals, he signed a pic for me of him pointing to Mario Elie after the MDM. Its a copy of the Express-News sports page headline the next day...got it framed and hanging in the house....one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
loosen up is telling people what they should like?Maybe you should stop trying to tell people what they should and shouldn't like or do.
my oh my.
When the shoes on the other foot with you hypocrits.
No....telling people to loosen up just because you don't agree with them is telling people what they should like and should do. As I explained...its a personal preference I have. You have yours, I have mine.
And when have I ever been hypocritical to or about you?

it'll be like this no matter who wins, and the same at mavtalk too. whining and crying about calls.
Parker had 10 points as San Antonio quickly took control in the first quarter, leading by as many as 13. The Spurs' shooting clearly frustrated the Pistons, evidenced when Wallace got a technical early in the second for complaining. It was Wallace's 18th technical of the season, meaning he'll face another one-game suspension.
"I wish they would review the whole 48 (minutes)," said Pistons coach Flip Saunders. "If they're going to give him a 'T' for that, there should have been about four others called at least."

so, Rasheed will be sitting on the bench on their next game against the Bucks?
I understand his frustration, but the calls were bad on both ends of the floor.
What you should have noticed is the difference between what happens when we interact with an intelligent, knowledgeable fan base (the Pistons fans) versus the drooling pack of Cubanoids.
