How do you all feel about Doris Burke? 

Post#1 » by SerialChiller » Wed May 15, 2019 3:50 am

I personally love her commentary. Ever since she moved from the sideline to the broadcast booth Ive become a bigger and bigger fan. She seems to know the game so well and has such a passion for it and it shows imo. Other than when JVG with Mike Breen are calling a game i prefer her over anyone else. Just Love Breen's "bang!" And JVG rants are hard to beat.

She's definitely knowledgeable but I don't like her on TV.

Before hearing her for the first time, I was worried she might've been there for "forced diversity", which seems so prevalent these days, but after hearing her commentary I thought she was great. I'm glad she's part of the regular rotation of ESPN and I hope she stays aboard.

I find her boring. Knowledgeable, yes, but boring. A little pompous at times too.

She deserves respect as a NBA analyst obviously, but I just don't enjoy her commentary.

That's fair. I wouldn't say she's charismatic by any means, but her knowledge and analysis is spot on yeah. Not as entertaining as someone like JVG or Bill Walton though of course.

I think she is very good, and challenges Hubie Brown as the best analyst on TV.

Love her when she’s commentating other teams playing.
Hate her when she’s commentating my team playing.

Pretty good. Far better than Reggie Miller, Marv Albert, Hubie Brown, Chris Webber, Players Only, Kevin McHale...

I can agree with all that. One thing i loved was when she called that epic denver/portland 4OT game and kept sincerely appreciating the players effort and will. Thought she called that game great!

Very knowledgeable, great announcer, and someone whom I'd definitely like to have a basketball conversation with.

Boring though.

Everytime she talks it seems like she's trying to win a presidential debate instead of just commenting on the game. Maybe it's because she's still relatively new to big TV but she'd be better if she just relaxed a bit.
