Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I hate the Raptors ones..they're terrible. I haven't heard enough of every single team's but these guys are just plain annoying and boring.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I haven't really heard anyone except Dallas' and the ESPN, ABC, TNT guys, but Jon Barry is awful. Completely biased, total moron. Reggie Miller is the same except not as biased.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I really dont like two guys, Tom Tolbert and Bill Walton. Both come up with just some stuff that is total bullsh**. Tolbert really talks like he was the sh*t back when he played and is always running players down when they mess up. Walton is just kind of self explanatory. Another guy that I really dont mind what he says, but his voice just bothers me is Mark Jackson. Not a bad guy and his knowledge is great, but I just dont like the sound of his voice.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I'll be honest, Dick Vitale>Bill Walton. I can't stand Bill Walton. He babbles a lot and is just flat out annoying to hear.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I HATE Seattle commentators. I watched a Griz game against Seattle in their commentationg, At the beginning of the 4th, they were like "Memphis cant win this game....they just cant, they're not good enough" as if we are a elementary team. And the griz were down like 7 with a minute to go, and they constantly were saying "this is a great game, we need to stomp a team like this." Turns out, Chucky Atkins hit a half-court three, sent it to OT where we murdered them. Ive never seen a game as quiet at then...lol.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? You know, the thing about Bill Walton is that, while he does say idiotic things, I do think that he intentionally says idiotic things. I mean, I don't really think he could be serious about everything he says.

Who else screams out, "Bring OUT THE SALAMI AND CHEESE" everytime we win. Hes real active in our community, everyone loves this guy, ive never heard anybody say anything bad about him.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^My favorite part of a Celtics v Raptors game is when Mike told Tommy that Chuck wasn't to pleased with the way the Celtics ended a ball game (Gerald Green 05-06 Dunk Of The Year). LOL Tommy responded "Ya know, Chuck get a life!" :worthy:
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? Chuck Swirsky can be annoying....and Leo sometimes rambles on about stuff. I can see where others are coming from. I've just grown to love them though.As for the topic, I really can't answer. I don't pay attention to who it is that I am listening... I guess Bill Walton. He just rambles on about odd stuff all the time, and he is just an odd guy.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? Yeah because what other commentators have you listened to? With guys like that you have to accept the fact that they're the guys that will be calling your games. That guy is just an idiot in my opinion. But I don't hate him for the reasons Gerald Green cocksmooch does.

And he was a rebel, so that makes him pretty cool. Its just his sense of humor, Luke Walton sortve has the same(like in this youtube thing, somebody asked him what he wished he had when he was a kid, "friends"...lmao). If you actually listen to Bill Walton, he is one of the more knowledgable people out there about basketball...hes just goofy, which makes his stuff entertaining.

Probably to me the worst color commentator is Mike Fratello. Ive seen him do some of the TNT games, and I dont like him. Hes smart, but hes just plain annoying, he states the obvious alot.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? I hate they way ESPN analysts talk. They seem so fake like they're reading off of cards or something. Thats why TNT is so much better on Inside the NBA. EJ, Barkley and Kenny are easily my favorite. They all seem down to earth, and really speaking from themselves. And its funny and they actually have REAL conversations with each other.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? Bill Walton THE DUDE TALKS ABOUT CRAP ALL GAME LONG, it's nearly like he's a wrestling commentator where only lies and crap comes out his mouth.Dude was hell of a player but most of the stuff that he talks about his very annoying to listin to.
Re: Worst color commentator's in the NBA? Any Celtic fans here surprised that nobody mentioned Tommy yet? (I LOVE TOMMY!)Raptors fans, don't take offense to Celtic fans disliking Chuck. The only reason is because they were bitching when Gerald Green did the off the glass dunk at the end of a game. They did go overboard, but I don't dislike them because of it. I see where they are coming from, if Joey Graham did something at the end of a game they were winning I might be a little ticked as well. However, you have to recognize Gerald's situation then, where he was just finally getting a chance to play some minutes, so he did what he did when the opportunity came. But I don't dislike Chuck for that.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (austingriz @ May 17 2007, 10:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I hate they way ESPN analysts talk.

The only guy I really like over at ESPN is Tim Legler.I'd have to say that out of all the color guys, I'd have to say I dislike Jon Barry the most. He has that queer little high-pitched laugh, he's the epitome of white trash, and he says some questionable things.
