NBA Ticket: Something wrong with the Spurs broadcast team?

[Dre_7]

I can't stand listening to Hubie Brown. I would rather eat the rotten asshole of a road-killed skunk and down it with beer than listen to Hubie Brown go on and on AND ON about shooting a high percentage.

Well since it has to do with listening, you probably should have said you rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in your ear.

Also kudos to the announcers from Indiana, Miami, chicago, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Portland -very fair and intelligent.

Portland? Really? I don't have a good enough baseline myself, but people complain about them all the time here, especially Laker fans.

The fair thing to do would be go with the hometeam broadcast. Sure, there are some teams with more national games (Spurs are among them right now) and so we'd get more national broadcasts, but it would even up the disparity and make me more grateful for LP.

Though it is sometimes fun to hear the other announcers - there are some other teams I like out there. It's just especially annoying when you are at home listening to their broadcast, because you have to listen to more ing about officiating (since the home team generally gets more calls).

Try being a Raptors fan- we average maybe one a month that is the Raptors coverage. I have come to appreciate some of the announcers, though, and hate to tell you- but Sean and Bill are in the top echelon of homers.

You have to admit though, Sean has a great sense of humor and is well aware of his homerism.

It's all in good fun.

I will tell you this on the flipside, the most unbiased announcers are for the Knicks (ya gotta love Walt "clyde " Frazier), the Nets Marv Albert and the LA Clippers broadcast team(damn their Mike smith even proclaimed that Manu is his favorite player to watch).Also kudos to the announcers from Indiana, Miami, chicago, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Portland -very fair and intelligent.

I love how Frazier mispronounces all their names. Nothing like listening to an entire game of him attempting to say Bargnani.

I like hearing Joel again when he does Lakers games, too. I think he is much better than Land.

The Sacramento announcers are actually growing on me (they seem to get alot of their coverage on LP) and I really liked the Bobcats last season when they used the female color commentator- I feel awful that I can not remember her name.

I agree on the Minnesota guys, too.

afraid to tell you, but couldn't care less what an asshole like you thinks.

My favorite crews are Golden State's, Seattle's (love hearing Snapper Jones again), New York's, New Jersey's, and the Clippers'. Joel Myers is OK in LA, since he complains about fouls a lot less than he did when he called the Spurs games. Plus, he doesn't say pardner every two seconds or start groping his color guy's arm the whole game anymore.

Yeah Golden State's are fantastic.

I like Portland's as well. They can be a tad homerish, but the play by play guy is really good.

I can't stand the Miami guys nor the Phoenix guys.

Lovin' this thread...

I don't care about a home broadcast team being homers. That's their job, you know? What I hate (and incidentally, this is not something I've noticed Sean and Bill doing) is when they bash the other team incessantly and overly much about the officiating (when it was the right call and replay shows that - it's ok to when you get ed on a bad call or no call, imo).

I don't mind people appreciating or being enthusiastic about their team - they should be. Nor do they have to fellate the Spurs to be considered a good team in my book - they just need to not be rude about the other team and officiating.

Pretty much my feelings exactly easjer.

Great post
