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.

Warriors announcers arent good but barely any home team announcers are hype when the opponent hits a big shot at the end of the game like that

[–] woKaaaa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We need one of those polls where you vote on the 1v1 between announcers and it will create a list.

For the best you have gotta go with Lakers or Hornets. Knicks are great too. Worst is by far the Sixers and Warriors.

Clips have an awesome commentary team

[–] ajteitel@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

First place: Hornets

Last place: Celtics and Warriors

[–] MAMBAMENTALITY8-24@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ours are just fine, someone mentions their church league and i dont know who it is

[–] PoisonIvey313@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Our announcer George Blaha is a certified legend although he is getting older so hard for him to be as enthusiastic as he used to be

[–] CompetitiveParfait9@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Blazers guys are really good

[–] Paper_Okami@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

People acting like our guys are so awful and bias, don't realize that Tommy (r.i.p) has been dead for several years. Mike has always been a pro, Scal is fine, and the new guy is good.

[–] One-Switch-1448@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

the kings, hornets, nets, lakers, and spurs are my favorite broadcast teams.

[–] iRockaflame@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don't have a team, but I think the Pels, Bulls, Lakers, Knicks, Hornets, Blazers are good

Warriors are bottom bag, Suns are pretty rough too tbh

[–] vanderdark@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nuggets would prob be in the middle, but I like Scott Hastings lol

[–] Classics22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] iguacu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

I love the Pels and T’Wolves announcers. I think they are excellent. Philly and the Warriors team announcers are bottom of the barrel.

Nets 100% up there

[–] PurpleYessir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's been a while since I watched a Cavs game, but I remember one of their announcers impressing me. Knicks are also pretty good.

[–] jimmylowcard@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kings announcers are pretty trash

[–] mido0o0o@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pacers announcers are ridiculously unbiased and I find it weird.

I listen to Celtics announcers whenever I want to sleep

[–] illmatic2112@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I've noticed if the game is a blowout, both teams announcers are more likely to be friendly to other teams' players.

Considering the Pacers have underperformed for so many years, they probably got used to (instead of tearing down their own guys) bigging up the competition to sort of be like "well look at how good this guy is, what can we do"

[–] growsonwalls@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Knicks are really good. Clyde Frazier is a fucking legend and Mike Breen is great.

[–] Padulsky21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Knicks and Nets are some of the best in the business. Breen and Clyde then Eagle and Kustok are absolutely incredible

[–] ChunkyMilkSubstance@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hornets guy is a legend

[–] 10Ramen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

First place for me is Bulls/Hornets

Last place warriors, and 76ers, suns.

[–] FeminismIsTheBestIsm@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Idk who #1-#29 are but I know exactly which team is #30

[–] Toxicyoshi7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mike and Clyde 🐐

[–] T_025@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lakers have great announcers

Knicks have Mike Breen

Warriors announcers make me want to kill myself

[–] MathematicianLong880@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m super biased but I think raptors announcers are up there

[–] JC_Frost@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think the Pelicans announcers are pretty good. PBP guy has such a radio voice and they're fun and supportive of their guys just like the Bulls announcers are.

[–] Smellmyhand@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve been wanting to do this for the last few off seasons but who cares about my opinion lol

[–] swishmaverick4177@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think an underrated bad commentary team are the Hawks lol. Dominique is okay, but the other guy is awful. He is super salty every time I catch a game

[–] humancartograph@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bob is a homer in a really bad way. He can't view anything in even a remotely objective fashion. It's cool to be a fan of the team, but he's ridiculous.

And I don't know what you think is OK about Nique, but he is terrible. He brings nothing to the table. And he was my favorite player growing up. He was in my era, he was an amazing player, I practically cried when we traded him. I still love those memories, but his awfulness on the mic has made them fade.

I wish we could get a new pair. Fresh blood instead this hot garbage.

[–] Odd_Wrangler8065@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I fucking hate the Hawks cast

[–] mysteryman403@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Celtics #1, then Hornets #2. That’s all I know for sure

[–] tigerpawn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sixers last, please. Maybe second last in front of the Celtics.

[–] McWhorter44@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Great: Knicks, Bulls, Lakers, Spurs (Sean Elliott 10/10)

Good: Celtics, Nets, Raptors, Cavs, Pacers, Bucks, Hawks, Nuggets, T Wolves, TrailBlazers, Clippers, Kings

Bad: Pistons, Heat, Magic, Wizards, Thunder, Jazz, Mavs, Rockets (used to be dogshit), Grizzlies, Pelicans

Dogshit: 76ers, Warriors, Suns

Screams in your ear: Hornets

Warriors' are the ones who should be religated to the G-league.

The Heat, clippers, pelicans, and Hornets are all quite nice

of course. They are homers by the nature of the job

but they still praise the great plays of the opponents and try to give a fair call.

Unlike the Warriors' announcers, tailor-made for the worst part audience of that fanbase

[–] AlHorfordHighlights@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why couldn’t we do this before Derek Harper left?

[–] kennyvendetta@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

S Tier - Hornets (Enthusiasm) - Clippers - (X's and O's)

F Tier - 76ers + Warriors (Rampant Homerism)

[–] YoloSwag420-8-D@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Celtics are great with Scalabrine, hes fantastic.

[–] diablejambeats@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Followill for the Mavs is excellent, Harp/Devin are good to bad depending, Skin is .. eh

I’d say we should be upper end just off Followill alone though

[–] Turk0luu@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Idk but the absolute worst is golden state & Toronto

Ear torture

[–] durianlover13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe im in the minority here. But I also like the Kings especially Kayte Christensen!

[–] AnonymousIguana_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I feel like we get a lot of shit because Celtics but I always thought our guys were pretty good. Scal is a homer for sure, but Gorman is a legend who’s been doing this since the 1980s, and his away-game replacement Drew is killing it this year.

Like I wouldn’t say we’re near the top or anything just because it is definitely a homer broadcast, but its a pretty fun one imo.

I’m probably gonna get shit for this but I cannot stand the Raptor’s color guy lmao (Matty P???). I get what he’s going for but it is just not my vibe at all, trying way too hard.

[–] Dangerous_Toe_5482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Celtics new road guy (Drew) whos been gearing up to take over for Gorman has been really excellent

[–] juicewar01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I like watching the the away team broadcasts, basing from last szn, I like the Bulls, Kings, Knicks, Wolves on top of my head

[–] ly93@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sixers have easily the worst alongside the warriors.

[–] bullymeahhh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm totally biased but Nets are great. Ian Eagle is obviously a legend, but we also have Sarah Justin, Ryan Ruccco and Richard Jefferson (we added Vince Carter this year too but I don't think he's called a game yet).

[–] TuqiDuque12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love the Hornets even more now that Collins is doing everything he can to ignore Bridges.

Love the Pelicans too, Antonio Daniels is great.

Knicks and Lakers are good, Wolves and Kings too.

Celtics ain't as bad at it used to be.

Warriors sucks. Strongly dislike the Pistons, but might just be because I'm biased and tired of watching those shitty games

The others I'm either neutral on, or just haven't heard em enough
