    If NBA Games gave a option to turn off Announcers voices. That would help NBA Ratings so much.

    NBA Announcers are really terrible.

    I especially don't like the Rockets Announcers at all Ryan Hollins especially.

    Laughing during dunks ruins the moment everytime.

    Meh, whatever. I only ever noticed she sounded competent. First-team, second-team, tenth-team, didn't care, don't care.

    I don't think its just me, but I like a female announcer to both be knowledgeable and sound like a woman - like Jessica Mendoza. To me, Doris Burke sounded like a pre-teen boy trying to sound like Marv Albert - and failing miserably. It was always a mute. Luckily, with the recent lack of Rockets national games, I didn't have to endure her voice very often.

    She might have gotten caught up in the ANTI-DEI movement

    She isn't completely going away. This is just a demotion from their #1 announcing team. Unlike JVG and Mark Jackson, they gave her a soft landing.

    Now Dave Pasch will work with her.

    It’s not that hard, Mark used to be ****ing annoying and everything I said about him is how I feel. He only got less annoying because he toned it way down with the freaking "Momma there goes that man”. It’s probably because he got fatter, so more out of breath and to conserve energy he just didn’t do his little bits as much. Also JVG developed into a much better talker, so he took in way more space and Mark just served as support. Hence, he became more bearable, but without JVG he would’ve terrible.
