    There's a long trail online of them going back and forth last night. It was a "thing."

    Nah it's hearsay from my Aunt who was a Rockets cheerleader. She says Worrell was a little bit of a perv and would hit on the cheerleaders. Of course in the 90's you could do that stuff lol.

    I usually like to listen to the opposing team’s announcers. I did so this game for the first half. They were super annoying. Anytime Harden or Paul made a play they were being sarcastic and dismissive. A few comments here and there I can stomach. But it was practically continuous,

    This. In terms of NOT making snarky comments about opposing players, our broadcasters are actually among the better ones. They also frequently give credit if the other team is playing well.

    In terms of homerism, sure we're pretty up there but I'd rather prefer that over being petty and taking unnecessary shots at the opponents.

    Bill: Oh and a foul on Harden! Two shots! Nope they are going to call that a turnover. I just don't even...
    Bull: In our day that was a good play right Cylde?
    Clyde: (Wakes up) Heh heh, your coach would call you for a foul if you DIDN'T do that heh heh
    Bill: You guys never committed fouls though. That was a different time though guys, I was eating 3 pies a night back then.
    Clyde: Heh heh OH NO BILL! Not three a NIGHT?
    Bull: We all know how much you like pie Bill.
    Bill: Well I just love it fellas, almost as much as Clyde loves golf.

    I don't really know enough to gauge broadcasters, but I will say I love (and it happens often with guys like Ryno and Gordon on the team) when one of them (I think Bullard) comes up with a new suburb for where the 3 point shot just got drained from... "Eric Gordon from Sugarland!" haha I dunno, Im easily amused.

    Clyde isn’t contributing much. He always says stuff like „he’s shooting 45% from the field which is almost 1 basket in 2 attempts“ and im like wtf really clyde, didn’t know that...

    That’s mostly Bill. Also the „arizzzza for a threeeza“ is awesome. Gives me goosebumps in big games when he says that

    Easy fix. Bring back Calvin Murphy as a broadcaster.

    I liked how Clyde argued Ariza should've gotten T'd up as well and it should've been a double tech :D

    People need to get out of their little bubble.

    Probably their first time listening to the opposing teams broadcast.

    Newsflash: 90% of these guys sound like our guys and are homers.

    Can we implant Bill Worrell's silky voice into Craig Ackerman so the legend never dies?

    AND BRING BACK CALVIN FOR A GAME OR TWO JESUS!!!

    As I've been following the reddit streams, I tend to enjoy listening to the the opponents feed. I no longer get upset at fouls and really enjoy when the Rockets smash them.

    I detest listening to the ESPN and TNT streams. Its like listening to an OKC and GS feed every time.
