2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Damn it. The Cavs Bucks game tonight is a players only broadcast.

Its bad enough having to sit through 48 minutes of Cavs defense with a competent broadcast crew.

ANYTHING is better than their regular biased commentators. I can't take Austin Carr. He is something else.

lol true. I always watch the away broadcast on the Cavs league pass games. I like the variety I get that way.

You're smart. Austin Carr is TERRIBLE

Looks like Bledsoe is traded to the Bucks for Greg Monroe and a 2018 1st. Getting Bledsoe could be good for the Bucks. He's a solid player when healthy. His presence could make them a team to watch in the East.

Watched the Heat broadcast of MIA GSW last night. They are probably some of the least homer announcers.

Warriors announcers are actually pretty good about that too.

Sometimes to a fault though.

Yep I love the Heat commentators. They're pretty fair. Would admit if the correct or incorrect call was made even if it favors the Heat opponent.

Jim Barnett is usually spot on with his calls. He'll 90% of the time give the right amount of credit towards the player or the foul called. The other 10% is usually if it could go either way he leans with the Warriors as expected.

Bob Fitzgerald is hit or miss. He's about 50/50 on those type of calls. He leans homer when it seems like the Warriors aren't getting any foul calls. That's when it's at it's absolute peak unbearable. Constantly referring to the free throw difference between the teams isn't a good indicator of how the game is being called lots of times (there are few occassions when it's correct though, imo).

Thought the Heat were going to give the Warriors all they could handle last night. What the hell happened with Whiteside? Is that typical of him? I saw Olynyk played with the second unit as the 5 last night. He made Javale unplayable last night. I thought they should have played him there as I said before the game, but does he play there often?

Like eating a grape while walking thru the Super Market or stuffing a Yao Ming t shirt in his draws while trying on clothes in the dressing room?

How embarrassing.

Bad night shooting and the sloppy play continued. Too many turnovers as always. As for Whiteside that was a bit surprising. Kept rushing shots. Don't think he was expecting that much attention.

Kelly is usually the 5 with the 2nd unit though no matter what.

Meh... not really.

Maybe by Cavs standard.
