What are you guy's favorite crews?

I love the guys who call the laker games, along with the knicks. Worst are the raptors.

stu lantz (lakers) and mike breen (knicks).

everyone else seems to be a flaming homer.

lakers have the best announcing crew
boston/toronto probably have the worst

Clyde and Breen are my favs.

I know I'm being a homer but I love Sean Elliott and Bill Land. Elliott is f'ing hilarious.

Knicks is good.

Atlanta and Boston I cant stand.

This again?

Anyway the Nets are pretty unbiased and so are the Knicks', especially Breen who never hesitates to call out the Knicks collectively and individually.

I really don't pay attention to many of the announcing crews but I was watching the Cavs/Mavs game this weekend on league pass and I'm not sure how the Cavs guys are in the broadcasting business.

Some of my favorite lines from these guys:

"You can't put a value on the money they pay these guys"
"He's moving like a semi in a junkyard" on a fastbreak
"He doesn't take or make many of those" referring to Kidd on an open three

Lakers? really?

I never liked the crew.

I like Spero Dedes, he does radio (or did, I don't know if he still does) Laker games.

Lawler and Smith from the Clippers

I would trade Jose Calderon for the Clippers announcers

Clippers.

I can't stand Miami's. One guy sounds like he's Handsome Dan from Wayne's World-- always talking in his radio voice....and the other is an annoying NY transplant and one of the biggest Heat homers out there.

I heard the Miami crew last week and I like how they talk about the other team's players and accomplishments.

edit: uh oh lol. :lol:

Knicks. They have Mike Breen who is the premier guy right now and Clyde who is so unorthodox and hilarious yet extremely knowledgeable. These two get the job done! Very unbiased too as most have pointed out.

Gotta love Marv Albert still even though he does the Nets games now. But I was never a big fan of Fratello or Mark Jackson for that matter (as a commentator). Not sure if Jackson still does games for the Nets. But Marv holds it down as always so that's not a bad crew.

Don't mind the Lakers guys either. I've only listened to them a couple of times recently on NBA TV, but the play-by-play guy has one of those classic old guy voices which is dope.

Nets hands down.

Marv Albert/Mike Fratello (they have TNT broadcasters

)

with Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel as the back ups?
