I watched last night's game on FSO. It was nice to hear Fred and AC.I'm just sick of all these national games. We have yet to see one home game broadcast by our own guys.
Man, I just cannot get interested in the regular season this year.
The results aren't really in the balance in the majority of these games. This team will win 60 games or close to it and cruise through the Eastern conference and the season just really doesn't matter until the finals.
I find myself disagreeing with basically every single judgment he makes on officials' calls. He seems to weirdly defend and agree with bad calls all the time, and when he does choose to disagree with the refs it's totally out of left field and still wrong half the time.How does Hubie Brown suck as an announcer? He provides some of the best analysis in the game. He doesn't say ridiculous incendiary shit like JVG and Reggie Miller and he provides the kind of insight a former coach can give you.
Weird seeing multiple people saying that. What are people looking for in an analyst?
if the cavs want to get respected like the warriors, maybe look at their body of work and play to it.

Don't get me wrong, he's no Reggie Miller, whom I can only fathom has an announcing job for the same reason Skip Bayless has a job. But for some reason, his announcing is grating to me.
On the other hand, I think JVG is a national treasure, so take it for what it's worth.
No Marv Albert love?Hubie sucks and has sucked for a long time.
I expect national color guys to not butcher basic facts repeatedly throughout a broadcast. I expect them to not appear overtly biased towards one team. I want them to provide unique insight from a former player's/coach's/GM's perspective. I want them to provide some humor and levity. Hubie only checks off one of those boxes, and only partially. And he's boring as hell while doing it. I put him in the same tier of shitty color commentating as Jon Barry, Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson. Jon Barry is the absolute worst.

My preferred national color guys are JVG, Doug Collins, Webber, Fratello, and maybe Hill/Burke, but they don't do as many games.
This pretty much sums it up perfectly.Hubie sucks and has sucked for a long time.
