Best and worst NBA commentator teams

[Just2McFly]

Does Hubie Brown still do commentating? He was great at actually explaining shit rather than just saying what everybody already f*cking knows.

I learned so much from that guy.

[Peteballa]

Clippers and Portland with Miami a close 2nd are the worst.

Miami? Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino are unbiased, know the game and are great personalities. Some of the best commentators in the league.

People hate on anything Miami related.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Barrett and Rice are probably the worst duo.

[TheTruth#34]

Celtics commentators are huge homers, gotta love em though

[Micku]

Clippers and Portland with Miami a close 2nd are the worst.

Miami is pretty good with their commentators. They are pretty unbias for the most part, and professional and great usually.

Clippers aren't that bad imo. I don't think they are as unbias as the Lakers or Miami, but they are ok. Not the worst.

The worst are the Celtics. They are so bad that it's funny at times. Homers and so bias.

The Raptors have the best music by far to me:

The best presentation that I think the NBA can have would be either the NBA on NBC theme song or the Raptors theme song, with the TNT crew with Reggie, Kevin Harlan, and Barkley commentating.

I enjoy almost all the nationally televised groups, though I think CWebb is dumb as hell when he does games.

I think GSW and Sac's crews are really good (the like 15+ combined Emmies will support that). Especially when Sac has Bill Walton and Jim Gray guest-starring on the crew - hilarious. I think I remember liking San Antonio's and Portland's.

LAC, Boston, and Memphis I know for sure have commentator teams I despise.

He was but Hubie's kinda fallen off the last few years. He's still better than most but not the great he used to be, seems like age is catching up. He'll have a new man crush every game and just talk up a certain guy allll night.

And anyone hating on Doris Burke is just sexist, that's the only thing I can think of to explain disliking her. She's very good.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Worst insuferable homers.
David Locke, Jazz
Brian Wheeler, Blazers

Worst pre-game, post-game host
Brian Davis, Thunder

Best of all-time
Chick Hearn, Lakers
Kevin Colabaro and Marcus Johnson, Sonics

Colabro was pretty awesome, his brother Dave does local sports in Indy and he's pretty good too.

[DetroitPiston]

Man, no love for Blaha and Kelser for the Pistons? Fair towards opposition, not exactly homers, and has the best phrase that goes, "COUNT THAT BABY AND A FOUL!"

[brandonislegend]

Miami? Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino are unbiased, know the game and are great personalities. Some of the best commentators in the league.

They are constantly biased from the 2-3 games I have watched this season, they said something one time about chalmers not fouling and it was the most blatant thing I have ever seen.

[tomtucker]

worst are the "color" men for ESPN and TNT....steve kerr and van gundy, to name a few.........they talk way too much, while the game is playing they go on and on, about other shit, like stats from a previous game....and other nonsense.....play by play guys on those 2 channels hardly cover the game action........local feeds are better.....like Miami and Laker crews.....they only talk about the game at hand.......and don

[senelcoolidge]

Worst...
Hornets
Celtics
Nuggets
Blazers

Most commentators are biased, but some are very nasty. Meaning that they insult and demean opposing teams and their players rather than give real analysis. Other guys are homers but are not nasty. They make silly exaggerations about their own players but they don't go out of their way to insult others.

[Mike Rice]

Thank you to all those who put the Blazers at the very top of your best commentator lists.

Me and my partner, Mike Barrett, do our best to provide you with great analysis for our great Blazer basketball games.
