With that kind of analysis we should open a 2021 commentators draft thread.
Uhhh, its not the play by play guy's job to analyze, so who's is it? AC provides color but no analysis. He's probably a great guy and was certainly a great player, but I find his repetitive routines with McLeod or the new guy tiresome and one learns very little from their broadcasts.Color guys aren't supposed to deliver hard hitting analysis. I like Brad and think he did a fine a job, just he's too boring to be the color guy.
Broadcasts are for the lowest common denominator. You're not finding much analysis in any color commentator. If you're expecting coach Nick breakdowns, you certainly aren't finding them during the game.Uhhh, its not the play by play guy's job to analyze, so who's is it? AC provides color but no analysis.

So you didn't list Atlanta coz they're too pathetic to even be listed right?
Had to watch the second half with their commentary and it was physical pain. The only thing they do is suck their own players off and cry about fouls not going their way. Just blegh.
The Pistons guys really do love us though lol. Their color I thought was very knowledgeable actually besides that too.
Yeah I don’t need analysis from AC. It would be cool if Campy and Phelps did anything in that department pre/post game and at halftime. He’s entertaining. He’s having fun. I dig it.
I only saw one broadcast with Daugherty, so I’m not expert, but I was very bored and thought he enjoyed hearing himself talk too much. He’d be better in Campy’s role in my opinion.
The best analysis I ever got from Campy Russel was that Blake Griffin “holds the ball like a grapefruit”
Only clown show here is you.fratello is getting a bit older now, but he still is quality, a real pro. im quite sure John Michael is thrilled working with coach Fratello. i mean lets face it, its a titanic challenge working alongside austin carr in sooo many ways. along with Daugherty and Fratello, how about Richard Jefferson or Channing Frye... AC is a good dude, and I like the fact he really loves the Cavs, a true fan no doubt but the clown show is over...been over for years.

I can give you everything else but you think Carr was “an okay player at best for Cleveland”? WOW!!!!!!i realize he was an ok player at best for cleveland, but he needs to goooo.. i thought he was bad like 8-9 years ago but he has somehow managed to get worse every year. i literally can only listen to the blabber that spews out of his mouth for just a few mins b4 i need to turn him off. he literally brings nothing positive to the broadcast. awful, just awful. my dog could bark alongside this new guy and bring more to the game...and ofc sound waaayyyyy better. hit the links and the range AC and lose this gig....from what I hear his game needs it anyway.
