NBA phrases you are sick of hearing? 

Post#1 » by RSCD3_ » Fri Jul 31, 2015 10:31 pm

What are some nba phrases that you are sick of commentators or analysts continuing to say?
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Any phrase that comes out of Reggie Miller's mouth. The dude has to repeat himself like four times to get his point acknowledged that the person next to him purposefully ignored.

"the only thing undefeated, Ernie, is father time."

I wouldn't declare that "I'm sick" of it yet, but i do find it funny that they manage to say "father time" at least once in every national broadcast. (like no **** that you decline as you get older)

In Minnesota, Dave Benz says "It's good if it goes" almost every time a shot is thrown up (no matter where on the court, but mainly from like 2/3rds court) at the end of a quarter. It is pretty ridiculous to hear so many times.

When referencing shooting, "This is a make or miss league".

As a Knicks fan, I'm kinda sick of listening to Mike Breen saying "AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE LEAD IS CUT TO ______." :( It's just sad.

David Locke Utah Jazz Radio....
"Oooh Man.... That's why they fear Gobertland, He takes all the eggs and all the bacon on that one." The good thing for jazz fans is that Gobert makes a lot of plays. The bad.... I puke on the floor every time I hear the eggs and bacon comment. I just don't get the reference, maybe I'm just too old.

The emphasis put on double-doubles and triple -doubles is annoying.

This isn't the announcers, it's something that the mics pick up from the players, and some might say my hatred for this is irrational. I hate it when I hear players yell "and-1" when they are fouled while shooting (or think they have been fouled) and the ball is still in the air and oftentimes going nowhere near the general vicinity of the basket, much less in it.

HE'S A GREAT PLAYER.

I'm pretty sure that half of the players in the league have been called a "GREAT PLAYER" at one point in a national TV broadcast. IMHO, that title should only be given to the best of the best. Kevin Durant can be called a GREAT PLAYER; JR Smith definitely should not.

You know, I understand the question, but no phrase bothers me all that much, so I'll answer the best I can. Every single word that comes out of Mark Jackson's noise hole. That's what I'm sick of hearing.

I don't like how Mike Breen says "banks it in" on layups.

"He's young with so much potential" - very few NBA players have true potential to be great. It's a LIE

Nobody is going to mention Shaq repeating the last word of his sentences whenever he's excited? Like my god dude, it's like he's going through some dejavu trauma.
