Doris, the ESPN analyst

i forgot her surname but i believe she's improving every game. She's really outdoing her male counterparts especially the likes of a Reggie Miller et al. She was very good today in the NOH-SAS match-up.

I agree, she did an excellent job, IMO.

If you enjoy hearing " Wow, what a move by (insert player here)", then yeah, I guess she's okay.

She was hella jock riding Chris Paul today.

Like she is the only one.

And not just Chris Paul; Kobe, Lebron, KG, Tony Parker, Ginobli. It's kind of what analysts do.

Hubie Brown isn't so bad at that.....

I never said she was the only one who did that. We're on the subject of Doris Burke, and i'm just telling it like it is. She states the obvious 3/4 times. The other 1/4 she will actually bring up some history and enlighten us with a little somethin somethin.

Hubie Brown > All commentators, writers, analysts.

Hubie does research before every game, breaks down every players strenghts and weaknesses, and he is the most objective guy I've heard on air.

doris burke is decent, average at best... which unfortunately puts her in the upper echelon of analysts on the national scene

She's one of the guys.

she wasnt bad, but i think they need to turn her mic down just a little bit, she is quite a bit louder than her counterparts which is a little bit of a turnoff...

talks too much

Lazy Faizy · Post #14 » by **Lazy Faizy** » Fri May 9, 2008 3:37 pm

Eh, I thought she was annoying as hell.

"Chris Paul is amazing.." - she must've said that at least 100000000 times during game 3.. That's basically all I heard from her.

She's fine much more bearable than some of the guys like reggie miller

W_HAMILTON · Post #16 » by **W_HAMILTON** » Fri May 9, 2008 3:51 pm

I was watching a good portion of the game, and I thought that she was the lady some people really complained about before.

But I thought she was good. Real good, actually. Well, at least compared to a lot of the other crap usually doing the games.

If you think she's awful, I can't imagine what you think of some of the other people that do the games.

Anticon · Post #17 » by **Anticon** » Fri May 9, 2008 3:52 pm

I thought she had a lot of insight, like mentioning how West never had a 15 foot jump shot at Xavier and how NO's heavy use of subs in the first half was part of their ability to run wild in the 3rd quarter in the first two games.

Overall, I really enjoy Van Gundy, Breen, and Jackson, and the second crew as well.

I think she did a fine job, per usual. Actually didn't even notice she was on the broadcast team until midway through the 2nd quarter. :lol:

HarlemHeat37 · Post #20 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Fri May 9, 2008 4:48 pm

I hate her voice..she's better than Miller though, but who isn't?..

there are only a few good national announcers and analysts anyways..
