NBA - Main

Why is no one saying his name? It's Keleena Azubuike and he was a mediocre player too.

Warriors announcers for ya

When I watch my own team I absolutely want homer commentators. It’s a broadcast for the fans of that team. Tommy heinsohn was a nut job, he truly believed that the Celtics could do no wrong some games. Even so I loved everytime he would go crazy on the air. I feel like the people that complain don’t have home game commentators on their side. That’s sad.

I can 100% admit our commentators aren’t good, but this is a really dumb thing to complain about. Some of y’all take the game too seriously

As an international fan, my faves are the Lakers commentators. They get hyped for both teams.

I watched the Warriors OKC game and hearing that guy immediately rule out Chet's game tying 3 was a real letdown. I can't stand the Warriors commentators.

In saying that, the Hornets guy is a homer too but he's actually one of my fave announcers!

Warriors have the worst commentators in the NBA and it isn’t even close, if you go on nba twitter it’s universally known they are complete ass, they’re worse than homers they’re just unbearable

I understand your point, but watching it live from the camera angle they had, his feet are blocked by fans, so I couldn't tell whether it was completely legit. Now, idk where the commentator is compared to the shot, but if he had a better view, then yeh, he shouldn't have said anything other than praising the good shot.

you’re watching a warriors broadcast and you expect them to go out of their way to savor a thunder success?

y’all are so weird. how do you function in the world?

I feel like this subreddit is just all 15 year olds or something…. I’m so over this useless criticism. Mute the tv for all I care, but stop bitching about commentators and watch the fucking games!

First time watching league pass? Every commentator for every team is biased. They’re annoying. But they’re pandering to their own fans. So funny how everyone is just realizing how other teams’ broadcasts are just as biased as their own

Warriors have the worst crew and hornets have the best crew.

I get a little tired of my commentators bias at times. Then I hear these guys and I feel really good about what we have.

There are a lot of commentators like this. I think they feel that they must be a shill for the team at all times instead of just calling a basketball game, or it could cost them their job or something.

Always been one of the worst crews.

It’s why I love the lakers announcers, Stu and Bill will get equally excited for both sides when big plays are made

This is a warriors announcer. Like all home announcer they will be underplaying opponent moments.

His feet were closer to the fucking out of bounds line than the 3 point line.

I feel like I've seen somebody comment on how ass the warriors commentators are like every other day in here this season. Not without reason too these guys are awful.

Warriors have some of the worst announcers in the league for sure

Warriors announcers are bottom tier. They literally make stuff up as we watch the replay of whatever they're discussing.

Stop crying. Home team commentators are going to be biased for the home team, get over it

idec if he wanted to say he thought it might be a 2 at some point but him saying it directly after the shot sapped all excitement out of it

Fitz bad. Upvotes to the left

Y’all are the softest mfs on planet earth if you’re seriously complaining about home commentators “sucking the energy” from an away team lmao.

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

I think there are too many posts about the warriors on /nba and I think we would all be better off without posts like this. You shouldn’t care about another teams local broadcasters, you just really shouldn’t, I can’t imagine how it’s worth anyone’s time.

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

You’re “tired” of it? Lol.

This has happened since the beginning of sports broadcasting. They’re announcing for the fans of the team who just got the shot made against them. What do you expect?

This wasn't even the worst moment. Earlier in the 4th the Warriors had an unsuccesfull challenge for a foul against SGA. Wiggins fouled SGA and after that got a clean block. During the replay the casters kept cpmplaining that the whistle didnt come after the foul but after the block, which was a second later. Literally complaing that the refs don't have super human reaction speed.

The only time I’ll allow this is if people are calling plays for that wife beater’s name. I have huge respect for Eric Collin’s yesterday because that dude just called the play as nonchalantly as he could. Usually he would scream on the top of his lungs whenever lamelo threw a lob at him. I think he even made a slight jab at him (although I’m not sure if that was intentional or not).

who cares

I miss Jim barnett

Homer's gonna home....

Idk what you’d expect besides a homer announcer. But a larger issue is there’s only like five good announcing teams in the NBA. Nets, Magic, Hornets, Kings…..anyone else want to nominate their own? The warriors announcers aren’t even the worst just you all have to watch them every game bc the Warriors are always on national TV. Have you ever tried to listen to Phoenix, Wolves, Denver or the Rockets?

Who else just mostly ignores announcers? I only notice them when they say some cringeworthy shit or get too excited. Otherwise idgaf

Hating on the warriors announcers is such a bold controversial take

Jazz announcers aren't great. I love you Thurl, but you have no presence on the mic. Makes me miss the Hot Rod Hundley days.
