From the one time I've heard a full game (tonight), Washington announcers Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier seem to do a very good job. I do not like obnoxious and I do not care for blind homerism (to the point where the opposing team is constantly degraded). These guys did none of that. They just called a solid game altogether.
Hubie was at his best in the late '80s/early '90s. Nowadays he just rambles on while reading off a guy's stats while saying "come on!" a lot. Every once in awhile he'll have a good moment of analysis though.
I wish Bill Walton was still announcing national games. He's what people want Barkley to be. Thank god for the Not Bill Walton twitter.
Breen is only tolerable if JVG is there to kick sand in his face. He's the worst at hiding his bias for which team he wants to win.
Burke would be better if she stopped trying to sound hip and dropped the random ghetto slang. There's something about her voice or the way she emphasizes certain words that doesn't sit well, can't quite put my finger on it.
Reggie Miller used to be so bad he's good but he's too refined now and he's just sorta bad. I think he was at his funniest when he was just starting and still had the full blown Kermit the frog voice and he didn't know what he was doing. I still remember the '08 playoffs Nuggets vs. Lakers when he was trying to sound dramatic and yelling for the commercial outro and his partner
was like "Reggie, you OK?" Can't find a youtube clip though.
Warriors announcers are underrated. Bob Fitzgerald to be specific who's the play by play guy who also did the announcing for USA basketball on NBC Sports Network.

I agree. I really like that announcing team as well. Fitzgerald actually used to do the commentary for NBA 2K.
