Let's take last night's OKC v GS game for example. Chet hits a buzzer beater 3 to tie the game and send it into OT. Amazing. People on the court and at home watching their TVs are going wild.

But then 0.001 seconds after the shot: "His foot was on the line though I think" (and clearly it wasn't).

This particular guy does it like every single time. I don't know who he is but he has this dumb habit of trying to put doubt in the viewer's head immediately after something great happens. I've absolutely heard him go "BUT WAS IT A 3!?" in similar situations where it was indisputably a 3. He does it just to be a dick.

Steph could drop a full court shot and this idiot would still be like "bUt WaZ hIs fOoT bEhInD tHe LiNe!?"

Like shut the fuck up and let people enjoy the moment unless you're 100% sure

Homerism is annoying especially with the warriors broadcast. But it is part of sports. Even if they're teaching a legion of young warrior fans the wrong idea of sportsmanship.

Eventually warriors fans will understand how to deal with losses because their window is closing for good this season

How about eventually the young/recent Warriors fans will understand… ? 🤣😭 2015 till now doesn’t somehow erase 1976-2014.

They gotta give fans the option of which commentary they want. I end up muting it, even turning the game off and listening to the local radio coverage.

I understand Homerism, its just sometimes it comes off as gaslighting. When its a blatant foul/or a call against you don't try to justify it, just say sometimes things dont go your way. Or even say we got away with one there when your team gets a bounce. Just like Friday it was evident that Jwill got fouled on a layup and the refs missed it, just day we got away with one instead, say it was all ball when his whole fore arm get hit before the ball.

Man if only these kids had parents to help clear that up for them. Since when did reddit get so pearl clutchy?

The homerism is fine, it's just that the GSW commentators are awful. The Cleveland broadcast is awesome and they're biased as hell. They literally refer to the Cavs as "good guys" when they read the score.
