I posted a like thought, in her defense, before the refs fucked up tonight's game.Doris isn't perfect but I challenge anyone to name a more prepared color commentator on a national broadcast.
She and Stan Van Gundy are in a class of their own and both are tough but fair on officiating
Being an NBA coach is to a good degree about managing the talent, but you can be bad enough at the rest for it to matter. Coach Bud seems a bit like Andy Reid.Coach Bud 10-17 in the playoffs after the first round.
Riley's one of the few GMs who could tell Lebron to STFU about the coach.Spo doesn’t get enough credit for being a young relative nobody coach and surviving LeBron.
Though you do get the sense he is Pat Riley’s favorite son and was likely protected.
6-16 (ex-Kyrie)Coach Bud 10-17 in the playoffs after the first round.
Were it a choice, I would watch a completely unedited feed. I want that song plus Melo telling everyone to clear the fck out on reboundsWas the tv feed just muted because the “get live muthafucka” part of Who Shot Ya? was playing in the arena? Lol.
Pretending the refs aren't a problem is my least favorite thing about the Port Cellar.The constant complaining about the refs is my least favorite thing about the Port Cellar.
Given the general level of shittiness that pervades Steve javie, nba refs, and espn, how long before burke is compelled to apologize in order to keep javie on the job, and the refs explaining their calls.
Rockets are getting a ton of open threes off penetration, I think this is actually going well for them.If this stays close, we’re going to lose.
I should be more clear on my post earlier. I love Doris as an announcer. My only gripe with her is that she generally sides with the refs, no matter how horrible the call is. The last minute of tonight's game was an exception to that, and a very good one, IMO. But there were a whole bunch of other calls tonight that were egregious that she didn't do the same. Perhaps I'm biased because I've been listening to Tommy for decades, and he calls it like it is, as does Gorman, but I think Doris is good enough, and has enough cache now that she's doesn't need to carry their water as much as she does.Doris is generally very good. I think announcing in the bubble with no crowd is probably not so easy. They feed off that energy just like the players do, so it may lead to some moments that feel forced.
Yeah the game threads are like the looters after a peaceful protest discussion on what kind of impact Javonte Green can have. I try to stay clear and be home when the street lights go on.The constant complaining about the refs is my least favorite thing about the Port Cellar.
In a game this tight a spurt of two way play like that can be the difference. He better, given that Harden looks mentally withdrawn from this game.Nice two minutes from Russ
Also he died like 3 times.Can’t believe Eric Gordon is only 31. Dude has had the old man body since he was like 24.
