Sounds like "Got it" to me...

[Jacks3]

He's still pissed at Phil for taking his job. You can tell. :oldlol:

[PejaNowitzki]

He lives in Arizona and was giving Grant Hill pointers during the half. Its kind of like when Mark Jackson comments on Knicks or Lakers games.

[Dontstop]

He was just saying what everyone outside of the city of LA was thinking. Give him a break.

[shizzouts]

lmao, he's not a laker fan.

[PowerGlove]

I dont even know what he said... how are so sure he said no?

Or....... he was close enough to the announcer's table for us to hear him which happens frequently during NBA games. What the f*ck have you guys been doing instead of developing your brain?

No, he's not that close. And it was Doug's voice.

[imdaman99]

how are we so sure it was him? i cant really tell. and i dont notice his bias. i guess i zone the commentating out, its gotten so ridiculous lately unless jvg is commentating. i love that guy. i miss that guy :(

nah, the tnt announcers are alone at center court on the opposite side for these games. the guy lives in phoenix, its not really a big deal.

[pete's montreux]

Doug Collins is actually a direct descendant of Phoenix18. Phoenix's motherly instincts kick in when his off-spring is being attacked.

[Soothsayer]

Yeah, he borrowed Doug's mic and voice and screamed into it... :lol

You do realize there were people other than Doug and Lakers fans there, right?

Once again, how do you know that was Doug or Doug's mic? You just have a noise. You actually have no clue if that was Doug or not.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Jealousy is the first step towards crime, cant believe Collins is still jealous at Phil Jackson for leading the Bulls to 6 NBA titles...

Doug Collins, keep hating buddy. I hope the rest of your hair falls out in Philly :pimp:

He still has hair? O_O

And wow, I didn't notice that when I was watching. :oldlol:

[momo]

Where amazing happens.

[MaxFly]

Lol @ people saying that they heard "got it." It's clearly a "noooooooo." Furthermore, it's clearly someone who sounds a lot like Doug Collins... I thought that perhaps one of their mics may have picked up someone else's voice from the crowd, but their mics are precisely designed to prevent that.

I don't want to speculate on his reasoning for shouting out "noooooo," but I think we can all agree with moderate if not reasonable certainty that Doug Collins shouted out "nooooo" when Artest got the rebound and hit the shot off the glass. This one is pretty straight forward...

[mamba24]

not everyone likes your gay team

Well sorry if the gay team keeps winning championships. apparently your very manly team cant even get into the playoffs .

That was in Milwauke I think. Definitely not portland. Could be memphis.
Anyway, this is just another example of the anti Laker bias in the NBA and media.

I hope some Mexican muchacho jacks Doug Collins' car next time he's in LA. Then he can tell that anthropomorphic reptile from Geico about how he use to coach MJ. :roll:

[GOBB]

What are you talkin be professional about it? How about you spend time watching the video and see he didnt hate on the Lakers. It was a shot that drew many reactions by people. He didnt say no, as some little 12yr old kid upset his team lost. He said no at the disbelief Ron Artest came out of nowhere and put the shot up to win the game at the buzzer. He even called it an amazing finish.

How old are some of you posters? Under 16 then I can understand the replies.

If you're talkin about him this series and how he calls a game? Then clarify that. We're talkin about an isolated incident. I cant tell what your post is trying to say. Thats your job isnt it? Well? Ok.

[Allstar24]

I didn't even hear him scream "no"...he was getting on my nerves wayy before that. He didn't try to hide the fact that he was rooting for the Suns. That's the kind of homerism you expect from local announcers, not national tv ones. He's just a whiny, annoying and biased announcer, always has been. Thanks to the 76ers for offering him a job. GTFO Doug.

[Nanners]

Doug is not rooting for the Suns as a whole, he is rooting for one of his best friends, Grant Hill.

[Roundball_Rock]

He was just saying what everyone outside of the city of LA was thinking. Give him a break.

Good point. I watched the game in a sports bar in Wilmington and EVERYONE cheered when the Suns tied the game and everyone was pissed at the Artest fluke.

Moreover, Alvin Gentry was an assistant under Collins and Grant Hill his superstar in Detroit and he lives in Phoenix.

To me, it sounded like Homer Simpson......

thats what I thought as well. But with that said, his "noooo" didn't exactly sound neutral either, you could tell that he said it in a disbelieving, pissed-off sort of way. If you listen to the incident in an isolating slice of the game-film it almost sounds unsettling the way he said and how it interrupted the ESPN announcer's (forgot his name) call on the final play.

But, since it's doug collins and he doesn't have a track record of being too unbias you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not like he says this everytime his team loses, or even loses a close game.

[EricForman]

i dont think that no is in that "NOOOOOOO!!! please dont let this happen" way, it was more like "WOW NO WAY!" at artests crazy fling going in.

but of course, the first page is full of idiots throwing disses and talking trash.

This. Especially the last line. Those Kobe trolls are probably around 16.

Anyone who isn't still in high school can pick up the tone of the no that he meant it in a disbelief way because artest flung that shot up.

little kiddies with no knowledge of the history of the game bashing Doug.

Doug hit probably two of the most important and pressure packed free throws in the history of American basketball in the Olympics in the 70s. He was part of the US team that was cheated by the Russians. The dude loves and breaths basketball. Sure he's just hating and jealous :oldlol:

[wang4three]

You've never heard somebody say "No way" when they are surprised? Or something say "Shut up" even though they want to hear more? It could be the same elicit response.

[ChrisConley]

I am certainly not a Lakers fan, and I felt that Doug Collins was rooting for the Suns in this game. Not trying to "create haters". Just had that feeling.

it was a "No" of disappointment, you can hear it in his voice. I don't see why people are trying to deny it, its not really a big deal. He has all the ties to the phoenix team and he lives in that city; heck during halftime of the game they shows doug giving hill pointers. I would expect him to root for the Suns. It was a heat of the moment completely unexpected type of thing, he immediately regained composure afterwards. The guy is very knowledgeable about the game and I have always liked him as an announcer.

Im sure every basketball fan had some sort of reaction right when they saw artest get the rebound then put it up. It was exciting.

Am I the only person here who watched this game at a sports bar outside of California? Everyone said "Noooo!" or "WTF". The Suns are the underdogs and the Lakers are like the Yankees of basketball. Who do you think America is rooting for? Add to that Collins' personal ties to Gentry, Hill and the fact that he lives in Phoenix and it is not surprising he said this.


At the same time Doug is a big fan of Kobe though, so I don't get why so many laker fans hate Doug. I think he is one of the best analysts around today.
