Utah's announcers are super homers. Also I hate Matt Harpring. Portland's are better, but they are really trying to give Aminu the nickname Chief for some reason.

I haven't watched any games of last year's lottery teams but from what I hear it seems like none of the non-Joel "The Process" Embiid rookies are doing terribly great.

Joel Embiid being nicknamed "The Process" is the best thing to come out of this young season. Anthony Davis on the Pelicans is the saddest.

Brian Scalabrine the GOAT is my favorite announcer, although I am a Celtics fan I find that Scalabrine doesn't seem to be that much of a homer. His knowledge of the game is really good to listen to and I sometimes learn something from him.

Boosh! posted:Houston is pretty bad too. I'll contend that they weren't always this bad. In fact, Calvin Murphy had a certain folksy charm, was often critical of Rockets play (and management, which is partly why he's gone) and occasionally offered really good insight about the game. This is, of course, when he was not busy siring children. But really, does anyone expect a truly objective home announcer anywhere?

As someone who has been completely indifferent toward the Rockets my entire life, their team this year is highly entertaining.

I feel like if the Mavs can't get one at home against the Blazers or Bucks, or against the Lakers, then they are probably not actually a good team even though they don't look bad.

That said, almost ever team has at least one giant homer announcer, and I don't really see why that's a bad thing. League Pass is a pretty minor slice of the viewership; its mostly a local product and it's okay to present it as such

One more loss and it's the worse franchise start ever To newer NBA fans that might not seem so bad but if you're familiar with the 90s Mavs you understand how awful it really is.

I much prefer watching homer announcers. They might be bias on calls and such, but they know the team well and can see if something is off with someone. I cant stand national guys who just have to read stats they researched before. They do a good job of it, but it's so mechanical. Homer guys are worth hearing their opinions on how the team is running and better for watching random games during the year. The Pacers crew arnt huge biased, but Quinn Buckner is that coach that yells from the sideline at everything. "Off left." "Pass to the corner there!" "Oh, that's a foul, he fouled him ref!" "Saw that was short as soon as it left his hand."

We shall not mention the years before that though. Dark times. Medieval times. God, I loved Monster Mash.

Homer announcers are weird coming from Australia where all football games are nationally televised and have neutral announcers. The first Boston game I watched was a real education. I've gotten used to home announcing but I generally prefer the less blatant guys

Every time announcer chat comes up I just thank my lucky stars that not only is the current Wolves TV broadcast team one of (if not) the best in the league but that in general they've had pretty good ones for my entire fandom.

He's ridiculous in a ridiculous way
