marv is calling this warriors game and he's so awful i can't believe he still has a job. like i understand his voice is nostalgic for many but the game passed him by decades ago and he has no idea what's happening. i'm either cringing or lol'ing, but not in a good way. chris webber is god awful as well and somehow even worse than reggie.
i love watching games on TNT for their production and the inside the NBA guys but three quarters of their A-team announcing duos are absolutely brutal.
kevin mchale's the best colour guy they have by far since steve kerr started coaching, i dunno why he's not in there with harlan over reggie or webber.

And ya, I really like McHale as well. Would love to see him on the TNT games.Last edited by Joey; Wed Oct 17, 2018, 12:18 AM.

i dunno i like jack, and matt is a geek but i feel like he knows the game pretty well and he's still a lot better than many of the local guys employed by teams (hell even national guys. he does call for TNT occasionally).
leo is a joyless stick in the mud and absolutely shite at parties, but i feel like on the whole the team could be worse. (the production is another story)

Kevin Harlan is probably the game's best. Mike Breen is solid, Marv Albert is a legend, Ryan Ruocco (called the Raptors/Celtics game the other night), and Mark Jones (Paul Jones' brother) are probably the best play-by-play guys in the league.
Ian Eagle for the Nets' broadcasts is awesome, he calls games on TNT, too.
So, when comparing to Matt, I can understand why people don't like him, but I think he's solid, and also used to call games along Mike Fratello. He also calls for TNT during postseason when Raptors are out, but this was a few years back before all the playoff appearances.
Again, I think Matt & Jack are one of the best pairs, Matt & Leo, on the other hand? Holy shit, I felt like I was going to fall asleep last night vs. Charlotte.
Some of my favourite colour commentators have to be Doris Burke, Hubie Brown, Greg Anthony, Jim Barnett on GSW's broadcasts is great, and Sean Elliot on the Spurs' side is dope, too.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
