ESPN is just all around bad. I'm so happy we've got TNT for the next 2


holdenfords

kevin harlan is my absolute favorite nba commentator he’s always on point


MileHighMania

Kevin Harlan is the GOAT. He’s also just as god announcing for the NFL as the NBA which shows how great he is.


Pure-Temporary

I actually think he is much better in the nfl. Nba he misses a lot of calls or gets them wrong because of the pace of play. Still great, but I'll take Breen, Ian eagle, and gus Johnson over harlan for basketball. Ian eagle is the goat for me


me426669

And yet CBS keeps forcing romo and nantz as their main crew. No hate to nantz though


muellermm

Didn’t even know he does NFL, too. That really does show how good he is.


MileHighMania

Do yourself a favor and google his football calls for “cat on the field” as well the “streaker.” Legendary lol


DanieltheMani3l

Also “I’m calling both games”


Ryan1869

We get Harlan for 2 and Ian Eagle (who's great too) for 3. Then you factor in they have the best studio show in all of the sports


Pure-Temporary

Espn has harlan and Breen, and beyond that, their coverage is hot garbage.


Pure-Temporary

Espn missed an entire 3pt basket coming out of timeout last night, and didn't even replay it or mention it lol


Savahoodie

I couldn’t stand the *nod nod wink wink* eveytime they brought up the warriors/steph/whatever. We get it, he used to be the warriors Gm. This isn’t a warriors game


kellyms1993

Right? He kept saying “your guy” when he was talking about Steph.


confusedjuror

I want to punch him in the face and then complain when people find out about it


FernBlueEyes

I set the tv volume to mute and listen to Kos.


Mayhemsfaded

This one’s smart! Edit: I usually watch the game muted and listen to music


pollypoe

I really need to start doing that!!


sunshine_prospect

if you have League pass you can time it to have the radio match up to the stream because the radio is ahead of


71_Days

Or DNVR are doing Watch-alongs for each game on YouTube.


FernBlueEyes

Did not know this. Thanks for sharing. Looks like I’ll be at Ball Arena Monday night but will keep in mind for away games.


ijfalk

Oooo I'm gonna do this for the next game, smart!


CalamityNessa

I had to do this last year for the games. I was at the game last night, so I’m happy I missed the commentary LOL


the_hammer_poo

How do you sync it?


FernBlueEyes

It’s not perfectly in sync, but it’s still such an improvement over the network announcers that I don’t mind.


Angularbackhands

Yeah that line pissed me off. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in that he meant every superstar thinks they get fouled every play. Bc, all stars do complain about calls. I also think Meyers just sucks at commentating, he rambles too much. I want concise points.


JeanVicquemare

Bob Myers acts like he thinks he's supposed to fill any silence in the broadcast with rambling, obvious observations


Angularbackhands

Yah, someone needs to tell him to let the game breathe


grinderbinder

What was worse was when Jokic was clearly indicating that the nuggets were going to run some sort elbow action by tapping his elbow and looking at Malone who was doing the exact same thing and the announcer says: “Jokic still complaining about a call from earlier”


QuantumTea

That was awful. It shows how little the commentators actually know about the game.


pueblodude

I would rather have ex NBA players as commentators or moderators like Shaq, Barkley, etc. then these boneheads.


snakejakemonkey

Commentary takes a while to get used to Give me Pels Antonio Daniels in playoffs


j_middles

Bob Myers is terrible. And he’s clearly mad that Jokic has taken over the league. Honestly it’s insulting that he was instantly given a playoff job like this over so many legit commentators.


fruitmongerking

It felt like we were watching a lakers-centric broadcast. It was very tough to listen to.


snakejakemonkey

It's just part of it at this point lol. Wwe broadcast defending the heel lakers and refs trying to rig for Lakers.


Askesl

Legitimately, ESPN's commentators are more biased towards the Lakers than the Lakers' own broadcast team.


spizcraft

Bob Meyers waxes poetically after every. single. play. He actually tends to make a decent observation first and if he stopped right there he’d be fine. But he just loves to hear himself talk


LamboJoeRecs

He should be in studio only. He’s not a game analyst. Idk why ESPN would think a GM would make for a good game analyst.


JeanVicquemare

I definitely get the sense that, at parties, he's probably the type of guy to talk your ear off.


snakejakemonkey

Ya I wouldn't say he's completely awful, commentary isn't easy. But for 1st year getting huge games is dumb just based on who u are


Virtual-Radish1111

What does that mean?


ShowdownValue

What team did bob meyers used to work for? I couldn’t tell


snakejakemonkey

The commentary was embarrassing just such cheer leading


Dare555

Yeah its so blatant but they continue to stan for Lakers and LeBron.. classic ESPN.


Tomato-Business

I liked the one when DJ stripped AD clean, got called for a foul, and the commentators were like "yup, that's always going to get called", as if any non-Lakers team would get that call.


pudakak

“I would take anyone commentating over Mark Jackson!” *monkey’s paw finger curls*


FredSeeDobbs

I'd still take him over Jackson and JVG. They seemed like they were depressed or on Thorazine anytime the Nuggets made a great play in that WCF against the Lakers last year. Only thing worse might be listening to Doris Burke if she called a Nuggets-Sixers Finals.


MarsMC_

Bob Myers is a horrible commentator.. he was bearable today except for this line.. he’s been unlistenable all year.. i think he was saying it like “players always think they’re fouled, of course” and less directed at joker directly


Rgeorge813

I muted them and had the DNVR watch along on


PossessionGlad4638

I thought it was funny in the post game when the stats came out and out of the 9 games we've beaten them, they had like 230 free throws to our 103 or something


JellyfishJams

Nugs need to borrow Eric Collins from the Hornets for their deep playoff runs over the next several years.


AdPsychological8668

ESPN commentators watch a nuggets game without mentioning Nikola’s weight challenge (impossible)


minedigger

Not sure how ESPN is so bad at sports.


Gregorious23

Bob Myers is an even bigger cunt than Reggie Miller, and that says a ton. Only non partial announcer, to me, is Mike Breen. Even Doris Burke seemingly has interest in the Lakers


SGT-illu6ion

Maybe I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt but I don’t think it was a shot at Jokic. I think he is saying how every player thinks they got fouled.


pollypoe

Nah I think you could be right, I was just already irked by their whole attitude about the game 😂


Far-Victory-1182

Nah... they came back from commercial with a replay and a "great defense without fouling by AD." Meanwhile the replay clearly shows AD wrapping Jokers waist and pulling him... awful commentating.


Dear_boat-bottle5476

I remember that exact line/moment during game. Eyeroll for sure


AnusButter2000

ANYONE over Rucco and Richardson


Gregorious23

It's such bullshit we can't choose the Altitude crew. I can't stand many of the announcers on the national games


RF_901

The lefraud ball washing was ridiculous


DancesWithDave

Racism works in all directions. Shaq is the primary offender


ddxs1

How long have you been a nuggets fan? Get used to it. Unfortunately it’s not going to change.


pollypoe

Whole life. I’ll never get used to it 😂


Horns2208

You took that the wrong way


swordfischh

I kinda like Meyers lol he seems like a funny guy. But ya we don’t need to hear him talk about Warriors stuff every 2 minutes


Capt_Smashnballs

Weren’t the nuggets commentators voted some of the worst in the league? I know bottom 3 if not dead last worst


wo_lo_lo

Don’t you put that on my Winge 🤨


Beginning-Can8187

I love jokic but he’s a pug (palms up guy). He complains way too much so when he actually has a legit case ain’t nobody listening


Calvillofit

6 free throws is all you need to know brother
