NBA - Main

ngl our announcers arent the best, even our fans, myself included get annoyed by them, but honest question why do people watch the warriors broadcast instead of the other teams?

This is actually one of the reasons I’m pretty lukewarm on Breen. Constantly casting doubt on otherwise great moments. We joke on here about “ref fans” but I’m legitimately convinced Breen is one. He loves drawing attention to them immediately after a player does something incredible.

This just in: NBA team’s hometown announcers are biased toward the team they cover!

More about this breaking world-altering story after this short commercial break!

Agreed, and it happens in all sports now. Replay has ruined the "moment"

Warriors and Celtics announcers are borderline impossible to listen, fun teams to watch play but always skip their teams broadcast

Warriors announcers suck from what I hear

It’s warriors announcers lol what do you expect ? They were saying draymond was in the right and just defending Klay against the wolves last week lmao

The Hornets are so lucky to have Curry and Collins. They definitely root for the hornets but they also will acknowledge and appreciate awesome performances in general.

I hate announcers or analysts who say, "OH shots fired!" or something lame like that whenever someone tells a joke. Or whenever someone says, "That's gonna go viral" after an interesting moment. Damn let the moment breathe

After watching the video...my god that was a bad one lmao

Just pure fuckin salt and denial instantly. Didn't even humor the idea that he made an incredible game tying shot...fuckin ruined the moment. Id literally rather watch on mute than hear warriors announcers

Yep.

It's hard to watch a game from Warriors feed. Too much homerism.

A suggestion: watch basketball on mute with the subtitles on and listening to music. Drowns out the stupid ads and annoying commentators. Honestly its more fun To watch basketball without all the ridiculous context. When a commentator adds something to a moment it usually shows up on the highlights and you can hear it there

I feel the opposite. Its always fun hearing the opposing team cope

I wouldn’t let it get to you….. it’s just the game

Mike Breen is great but still wrecked Tatum's G1 buzzer beater over BKN in 2022 RD 1, "They're waiving it off!!!"

I’ve also noticed that commentators tend to question the calls that are in favor of one of the teams playing the others.

An obvious example is when a team is playing the Lakers. Like, any time a questionable call goes in favor of the other team - the commentators will usually say it’s a bad call. And they won’t even mention the refs calls for the Lakers. It’s like they are trying to give the impression that the refs are calling in favor of the other team..

(And it doesn’t just happen when a team is playing against the Lakers. It’s just whatever team the commentators are obviously rooting for…)

I’ve said this plenty of times, if I wasn’t a warriors fan I’d hate our announcers. They show the most bias out of all of them. Like I get that the teams announcers should have a degree of bias, but you shouldn’t avoid or downplay what the other team does. Even when they do give props to the opponent, they make it feel like they’re doing them the biggest favor in the world.

Every announcer does this from time to time, but the greats only do it once or twice. For example Mike Breen did it for the Tatum buzzer beater against the Nets in 2021. He talked about mad it made him last year.

I sincerely miss Jim Barnett because he would have such a neutral stance to whatever play is happening. He would call out mistakes by the warriors and compliment what the opponent would be doing well be it a skill set or move they would do. Really balance out the homerism from fitz.

Contrarian, gonna need to get the dictionary for this one.

What do you expect watching home team broadcast lol I’d understand your frustration if it was TNT/ESPN broadcast but you literally linked a Warriors broadcast?
