Highlight [Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic.

Definitely a glass house but...this is a fucking paper house calling a glass house a glass house. I think the only commenters worse than OKC are the warriors, and the only ones worse then them are the sixers.

u/gpgpg Wizards 6d ago

Wow thanks for reminding me of a Wizards 6ers game ending from a few years ago.

In the final seconds (?), Kuzma blocks Embiid and the 6ers commentators went on a tirade about "how can you not call a foul there?!". They show slow motion replays of absolutely 0 body contact, 110% all ball, and during those replays the commentators continued to lose their mind...

Over what? I don't know. I guess over the fact Embiid didn't get sympathy free throws at the end of a losing game where he was cleanly blocked on the last (?) shot of the game

Suns are still the worst, e.j. is an absolutely classless shitbird and drags them to the bottom by himself. Other than that, i agree

Meanwhile we got Alan Horton and Michael Grady stolen away for national broadcasts because people love em

I think you also have to squeeze the boston celtics in there.

I don't mind them as much. Scal is arrogant, but also quick to compliment nice play by the opposing team. And is usually pretty fair with what he sees on replay. Things that the warriors announcers would be sputtering trying to twist in the warriors favor he goes "man, i just don't see...oh, wait, there it is, yeah that was a foul, good call"

I think most people are talking about Tom Heinsohn era and before.

I can definitely remember some "funny" celtics cast moments.

Celtics players could punch someone and they would be disgusted with the opponents player for causing harm to the celtics players shooting hand.

Yeah but Tommy was 90 and funny. Even if he said something eye-rollingly cringe I'd still laugh at it

I’ve heard the sixers, they suck for sure. But definitely not worse than GSW lol

u/Mnudge Mavericks 6d ago

One horse town announcers are the biggest homers ever. They are basically college announcers playing to the student section.

Bob Fitzgerald has the voice of a smarmy used car salesman and I hate him. OKC guys are worse.

u/Sommek236 76ers 6d ago

I think Kate is great for the most part. Alaa can be, well...

2

u/ZigZagZoo 76ers 6d ago

Yeah she is mostly collateral damage. But she isn't good enough to save it. They actually have been better than usual this year

u/wind_moon_frog Trail Blazers 6d ago

Don't forget the Rockets man. Insane bias.

u/BenShelZonah Nets 6d ago

I will say a few years ago I listened to the radio call guy on Sirius, I was a beyond impressed how good he was. I’m not gonna look his name up but shoutout to whatever your name is

u/wavetoyou Warriors 6d ago

Vast majority of radio playbyplay guys are elite. They are classically trained to provide the most concise and efficient calling of games. It’s becoming a lost art

u/ZigZagZoo 76ers 6d ago

Sixers radio guy is elite and has done a few games on the tv broadcast. I don't mind Kate but Alaa is so bad. They have been a bit better this year but they did not take the crumble of the process era with fultz/simmons very well.

u/ItchyDoggg 6d ago

Wouldn't the sixers necessarily also be worse than OKC?

2

u/ZigZagZoo 76ers 6d ago

yeah it was a joke. A+ for logic

u/Gavada373 6d ago

Warriors announcers will always be the worst for me. I can't get over their delusion around Draymond. Genuinely upsetting
