Let’s take last night’s OKC v GS game for example. Chet hits a buzzer beater 3 to tie the game and send it into OT. Amazing. People on the court and at home watching their TVs are going wild.

But then 0.001 seconds after the shot: “His foot was on the line though I think” (and clearly it wasn’t).
This particular guy does it like every single time. I don’t know who he is but he has this dumb habit of trying to put doubt in the viewer’s head immediately after something great happens. I’ve absolutely heard him go “BUT WAS IT A 3!?” in similar situations where it was indisputably a 3. He does it just to be a dick.
Steph could drop a full court shot and this idiot would still be like “bUt WaZ hIs fOoT bEhInD tHe LiNe!?”
Like shut the fuck up and let people enjoy the moment unless you’re 100% sure
Warriors announcers are bottom tier. They literally make stuff up as we watch the replay of whatever they’re discussing.
To be fair, that’s just Vikings football.
To me, Kelena A.(the warrriors commentator) talks like a blonde white girl which is annoying
They’re warriors fans, what’d you expect?
Them warriors commentators always see the multiverse where everything is in favor of the warriors. Insufferable to listen to.
lol this is just completely false but sure. keep up the meme
They aren’t making it up, they’re straight up delusional. They don’t need to try to shape their own narrative, their brains do it automatically.
Did you see where his foot was live? His feet weren’t in the shot. And the announcers are nowhere near the play. Yes. He was wrong. But it’s not like he had a better view than we did.
They’re employed because they follow the code you know.
The warriors announcers are the absolute worst. Since I stream all the games I watch, I get the away feed quite often. Last night, I watched the Timberwolves play the Pelicans on the New Orleans feed.
I was pleasantly surprised. Their announcers hardly showed any home team bias. They seemed to be calling everything like it was, good or bad, for whichever team. The Timberwolves announcers do this as well.
However, I watched the Timberwolves play in Golden State twice last week, their announcers each game. Absolutely insufferable. Everything the warriors did was great, everything the wolves did should have been called a foul. The bias was so bad I had to mute it.
For the record, the Minnesota Vikings radio announcer Paul Allen is way too strong of a homer. He calls things reasonably fairly, and will admit when whichever team does something good or bad. But he celebrates the most minor things the Vikings do too hard. He adds additional praise when minor praise would do. He is too excited at any given moment and it makes him look like a total homer. I can’t listen to him.
Pels announcers are great, I always enjoy listening to them
Let’s hear Paul Allen’s call
I don’t mind home team bias. Especially from the color commentator. As long as you’re keeping it fair and acknowledge great plays when they happen, it’s fine if you can tell which team they’re rooting for.
The Warriors announcers are straight garbage though.
Joel Meyers is really good (if that’s the Pelicans announcer) he used to be the Lakers announcer years ago
Timberwolves announcers are great. I’m biased because I love my Lakers ones but the Timberwolves announcers are right up there for me as being unbiased and just enjoying the game.
Lakers announcers are great, too!
Try listening to 9 to Noon. It’s time he goes, but oh my god he’s the VOX!!! 🙄
Even beyond being fair, they were just like genuinely excited as basketball fans once or twice when Ant had an amazing drive. Just like I’m excited to see Ingram make amazing shots even though I want him to miss everything. Announcers who just completely ignore the other team piss me off.
I don’t mind bias so much on a team’s feed, but the dubs duo are just bad at broadcasting.
Yeah, while a lot of people have a point, I think this sub is getting a wedgie over local broadcasts being homers.
That’s because it’s not for y’all. It’s for the local fans.
The Vikings radio announcers are hilariously bad homers, that game against the colts last year was legitimately one of the funniest game calls I’ve ever heard.
who are some of the best announcing teams would you say
Yea, it is totally fair and I expect some homerism when watching a local broadcast. But they should still be somewhat professional. The warriors are way too homer and turn into whiners when shit goes against them. I switch to anyone else when I have the option.
As a warriors fan, you are 100% right. I get annoyed at them all the time.
Best gaslighters in the league
It’s the reason why their fans are the most insufferable in the entire league…they have to listen to absolutely nonsense constantly. And that’s coming from a lakers fan
