I would have listed Kerr, but I heard he has a new job.

Boston is in my top three with the Cavs and Knicks. If you like the national broadcasters, you're odd. They're dumb.

Wait, you like Boston as well? They are even worse. As someone said already, they are basically cheerleaders. I don't want that in basketball. I want the X's and O's broken down. I want to see the game plan. That's the most important thing of a broadcast.

That's pretty much the only lucky part of being a Wolves fan. We have a top 3 broadcast.

Mike Breen, Marv Albert, Kevin Harlan are dumb? Mike Breen in particular is phenomenal.

Sure, guys like Jon Barry and Reggie Miller are godawful, but for the most part I much prefer TNT or even ESPN crews over Fred/AC. I just can't stand the cheerleading over mundane plays, the homerism, and the intermittent incoherence from AC, as lovable as he is.

Barry is so bad and Miller as well.

Fred is knowledgeable and generally good at calling a game, but they are essentially cheer leaders. Even as a fan of the team it's really hard to listen to sometimes. Given the choice I'll always listen to the national/away broadcast, unless it's as bad or worse (Boston comes to mind).

Yeah and it's fine if the play-by-play guy is more of a cheerleader. Kevin Harlan is amazing. But you need an X's and O's guy as well. I think it's more Austin Carr for me. He just provides nothing.

I'm smart. I don't need to be told what is happening constantly.

Mike Breen is the Knicks broadcaster, which I said was one of my top three, so I obviously don't think he's dumb. The analysts are dumb nationally, not the PBP announcers.

And Varejao is out for the rest of the season...fuck.

I seriously want to know how you guys watch games listening to Austin Carr and Fred McLeod?

Austin Carr is a Cleveland legend. He came to Cleveland as a high pick, embraced it, and stuck around. He is holy. You might as well ridicule John the Baptist, or Paul of Tarsus.

 

[Damien O'Connel]

I'm fine with Fred and AC. Part of the reason they come off as homers is because that's what they are...AC is an adopted Clevelander and Fred grew up in Strongsville.

I think we can all agree that Campy is terrible though.

I miss Joe Tait.

Cuz they're awesome?

I've got League Pass and watch it A LOT. They're about as good as you're going to find. It's entertainment. The majority of local announcers are so boring.

I usually like them myself. But every now and then I'm just like "god shut the heck up so I can watch the damn game in peace!" But that's only when I'm feeling really unsociable.
