quote:“I think what you’ve got to understand is that the word ‘process,’ I think, is underestimated sometimes,” Iguodala told USA TODAY Sports. “You think it’s just supposed to happen, and then when you say ‘process,’ then everyone is like, ‘Well, you’re just using that (concept) as a cover-up. Sometimes people do use it too much and it might be a cover-up, but it has only been a month (with these Warriors together), you know what I mean? The Process is spreading

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.

Please Eat A Vegetable posted:But really, does anyone expect a truly objective home announcer anywhere? I like the Pistons' crew because while they are homers, they also try very hard to make every opponent sound like a mighty force that the Pistons must rise to defeat. Even last year's Sixers.

I'm pretty late to announcer chat but Craig Ackerman (doing Rockets road games this year and going full time next) is a massive improvement. Yesterday they had an impromptu triangle history lesson. Bill and Bull are in a really bad codependent homerism relationship but Bullard is one of the few announcers who seems to actually understand charge rules and occasionally throws out stats like pace, ortg and stuff. Between running an actual offense and Ackerman I'm going to try and watch every Rockets game for the first time in a few years.

The Lakers announcers are the biggest homers, I live in Hawaii and I catch a lot of Lakers games and I fuckin hate how much their announcers love their lovely team. Also is it just me, or is does Reggie Miller have the biggest hard on for Golden State?

Jack's Flow posted:For what it's worth, I have fond memories of the Mashburn/Jackson/Kidd seasons. We shall not mention the years before that though. Dark times. Medieval times. 90s Mavs + 90s Bulls led me to be a 90s kid that liked the Bulls and to a lesser extent the Magic because Shaq/Penny. (Like most 90s kids.) Needless to say, I didn't watch nearly as much basketball back then. Players I incorrectly assume every 90s kid liked (unless they were a rival to your favorite team): Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Shaq, Penny, Muggsy, Barkley, and Grant Hill. Unsurprisingly, all of those players either had great ad campaigns, were on the Bulls, or were child sized.

Nets announcers are probably the most objective, because they do national calls as well. Is it just me, or are there WAY more rematch games already?

Reggie Miller's ""the warriors aren't that bad, and the spurs aren't that good... as Patty Mills hits another three." was pretty great though. I want him to be on the microphone every time the Spurs eat the Warriors' lunch. I don't watch many games other than Spurs games, but the only person who I truly hate when he has a microphone is Jeff Van Gundy. He whines too drat much. Enough that I'd rather turn off the volume and check the app for foul calls.

Gortat is a bit older, Beal is a shooter who isn't shooting well, Wall has played okay but isn't shooting well from distance and is turning over the ball 6+ times a game, Oubre hasn't taken the next step, Morris is soso. Oddly enough Otto Porter has played pretty well. Wall is my dark horse candidate to be traded in the upcoming offseason.

I'm sort of tired of giving Morey the benefit of the doubt, though. Pretty sure the D'Antoni thing is mostly Leslie, although he and Morey are definitely in alignment on shot selection. I get the sense that Morey would've committed all the war crimes Hinkie did years earlier if Leslie wasn't in charge. Probably a good thing in the end that he is, even if I dislike his coach hires.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

I feel like that balance has at least kept Houston in the market for free agents almost every year, and being in the market is what allowed them to get Harden and Howard. Howard didn't work out but it's not like they chose him over someone better. But personally I think skating around mediocrity is fine because you never know how things are going to break. I think if Golden State had the injury troubles last year the year before we're talking about a Rockets final appearance.

attackmole posted:-d'antoni rockets proverb. Rockets led by D'Antoni against the Warriors feels more like Charge of the Light Brigade to me. Or maybe Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, which was rededicated after Napoleon dissolved the Republic, D'Antoni of course being the defender and embodiment of enlightenment ideals who becomes a tyrant. However I appreciate the sentiment and will be raging frequently
