I never thought I would hear leastern conference Bias from a color commentator when two western conference teams were playing.
I know what I thought about his commentating last night. So without saying anything I want to know what you guys thought about it?

I heard him once, and that's enough
I thought he did a great job. He is not a homer like Elliott, so you people are just not used to someone not creaming all over themselves over our Spurs.
I agree. I thought he did a good job.I thought he did a great job. He is not a homer like Elliott, so you people are just not used to someone not creaming all over themselves over our Spurs.
Not really. Everytime one of the commentators would compliment the Spurs he would turn around with a However comment. The guy was completely biased. I got sick of hearing him.
why would he be biased toward's Sacto??? He hates Ron Artest, he was East guy his whole career...you are just paranoid.
He wasnt that great. I dont remember why though. I was drinking.
What about Jalen Rose? Talk about a fish out of water....
I've got that game on PC I think when he was making a comment on the referee wistle in one play. I said to myself WTF he is taking about? He didn't knew the rule. And I can remember what was it about. (About contact while player is shooting ore something like that)
hardly any announcers know all the rules, that is nothing new. Give him some slack, this is his first year doing this gig, and I really like the guy. He is hilarious on Dan Patrick every Monday afternoon and he knows his sports better than most athletes do. I really like his repartee with Mark Jackson on the show.
Me paranoid not really. I just call it on how I see it.

All the comments in the Spurs favor that he yells get annoying at times. Didn't he almost get thrown out of a game for yelling at an official when he was a commentator?
I think he's doing alright for a first year guy. I distinctly remember him saying something about Manu being a flopper during the game, which I don't know should be counted as a compliment from a master or down right hypocrisy.
Jalen Rose was absolutely terrible. The guy sounded like he was reading off a cue card, he didn't look anyone in the eye, but I'll give him credit for holding it together when NVE was hitting him with the towels.
I have yet to hear Reggie and enjoy it.
I thought Jalen was good, well spoken, good questions. Reggie has a very high IQ but gets on my nerves a little with comments like Kevin Martin has Ice Water in his Vains after he made a 3 with 9 minutes left in the game. Usually statements like that are reserved for 3s down the stretch (2mins or less).
Don't like it. His voice is annoying. So is Stan Kelley's.
The comment was apropos, because it really looked like a charge, but he was commenting on Manu's rep as a flopper, so that is why he did not get the call. He probably had a smirk on his face about mentioning flopping though.

yup. Plus anybody would get annoying if they have to talk for 3 hours nonstop. Nomatter how smart, cool, funny you are, you are bound to annoy some people. Miller hasn't forced me to MUTE my TV yet, so he's ok in my book.
Actually, Elliott just won an award as one of the BEST NBA broadcasters. I believe only six people received the award. I doubt this would come to someone who only talks about his favorite team.
Sean is good, but when he does Spurs games, he is a homer bigtime....I do not blame him, it is just a fact.
I think Reggie was a good commentator, and when he said something I didn't like I just reminded the TV that Reggie never won a ring...
Reggie has disappointed me somewhat, but then I look at the compe ion. Compared to any of the ESPN/ABC broadcasters, he does an excellent job. (At least he talks about the actual game he is supposed to cover.)
Reggie has made several negative comments about the Spurs this year, but Reggie has also said many times that the Spurs are the best team in the NBA. (The Pistons are the only team that you can even argue about; the rest of the league is not playing the same sport as Detroit or San Antonio.) You have to remember that everything that he says is within that context.
Many of Reggie's comments are correct. "The Spurs freethrow shooting may be their only weakness." Later, he called it their "Achille's heel." (Achilles was otherwise invulnerable, as you may recall.) Anyone rember last year's Finals? The Spurs almost made cry with frustration at times. Yes, they shot well enough from the stripe to win Game 7, but FTs are the Spurs' biggest problem. (Most teams would kill to have that problem.)
Reggie has a lot of room for improvement as an announcer. One of his biggest flaws may be mandated by TNT, however. I am of the school that the color man should only speak when he has something to say. Most broadcasting teams talk way too much. It isn't radio after all; we can see the action. (One of my biggest pet peeves is when an announcer tells you that "the crowd is going wild." If the network had the arena miked correctly, the announcer could just shut up and let us HEAR the crowd.)
Reggie is slightly monotone, but this should improve.
On the bright side, the head sets hide his ears...
I fixed the annoying Reggie by watching the game on Fox Sports Net - so I got to listen to my favorite announcer, Sean Elliott!!
Reggie has a HUGE bag of nothin'...
