Whats not to like? Genuinely curious...


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.


It seems at least once a game she questions a blatantly obvious call for the sake of argument just to recant on replay.

Makes sense i can see that. I personally find her seriousness part of her charm and think it shows her passion and professionalism but I know its not for everyone.

Just watching one game in the DEN-POR series and I couldn't stand her, I think it was the 4OT game. She would talk a lot about Jokic and if POR makes a big play, she finds a way to bring up Jokic. I usually don't mind cause I was rooting for DEN but she kept on and on.

Knows a lot more about basketball than Mark Jackson and SVG. Just give us a Breen/Burke commentating team already.

I only disagree about JVG. Him and Breen with her would be my commentating dream team.

Knowledgeable boring. Too much Brent Barry vibe, not enough Tim Legler.

And if she keeps wearing those sleeveless, at least work out a bit. I know she is somewhat hot, but could have been more appealing.

i still like her but i liked her more before. it seems like her commentary has shifted, less about the game and more about polishing the player
