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
As European who basically watches games the day after Im sometimes baffled how shit the commentating is.
Sometimes I feel like the commentators are more busy sucking each other off or reading stat lines (or sheets) than anything else.
I think it's definitely an added value to mention things like 'player x played good last game(s)' etc, but just adding random info most of the time adds nothing to the game.
Luckily not every game this is tue case, but Ive watched some where it was just annoying as fuck
My favorite in basketball is when a commentator is going on and on and on about some gossip about the players and then like three possessions have gone in and they’re not even talking about it
Good thing you're a blazers fan then because we have the best commentating duo in the league!
