Can we try to come up with a ranking system for every team's announcers? (alien.top)

I think there's a lot of teams that feel like they have the best announcers in the league. I'd definitely put my Clippers on that list. The Lakers are of course OGs on that list of great announce teams. I'm sure there are others

Then there are teams with notoriously bad announcers, like the Warriors(who's announcers during the Chet Holmgren game tying three inspired this post). I don't personally like the Suns announcers.

The wildcard team announcers are the Hornets, because I personally love them. They remind me of wrestling announcers from WCW.

​

So let's get this poll: if you think your team has the best or the worst announce team, say so below.

Good ones: Nets, Lakers, Hornets, Kings, Knicks, Spurs

I think the Blazers ones are amazing but also biased(love you Calabro)

Bad ones: Suns, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors

Calabro is the best, I'm surprised he isn't more widely recognized.

Why Celtics? They have a really knowledgeable and mostly unbiased broadcast.

Some people, like myself, just cannot get into Scalabrine. Celtics are a top 3ish team of mine but I usually swap to the other teams announcers.

When things aren't going good or he's not into a player/call he can sound super arrogant to me. Doesn't go into biased territory too often but when he does I feel like its harder to watch than other announcers.
