Suck it, Hubie Brown

For instance, the Rockets could be undefeated right now and still the only thing we would hear on local radio would be the condition of the garbage 7-7 Texans.

WTF cares about a garbage Texans team? I don't. I want to hear more about the Rockets!!!

 

Hubie Brown was very complimentary towards Olajuwon and Samson, even to the point of saying that Hakeem "moved like a cat".

 

Rooting for the nuggets or rooting against the rockets? It is a recurring thing that i noticed before so just switch over to bill and co.

 

Yeah, I saw him go both ways with fouls. BUT... if he really ugh'd Harden's three and loved Afflalo's... that's a problem.

 

I like Hubie so long as I don't have to look at him.

 

at age 81 it's amazing he's still working the games. i can't stand his nasally voice though and wish he would just retire.

 

I've always admired Hubie's fund of basketball knowledge. Maybe it was because he had a newbie sitting next to him, but it seemed like he was talking too much last night, on his own, without prompting, just running on and on... Sheesh, Hubie, let the kid work a bit.

 

OP is trippin

 

Subtle. Typical b**** ass Hubie move.

Said Hakeem is a p***y.

 

I don't really care for Hubie's commentating... but he never seems unfair or biased.

 

Yeah, I forgot this game was on ESPN and posted in the game thread that the Denver announcers sound like Rockets fans. Sounded pretty not Rockets hating to me. Did only watch the first half though.

 

He didn't "ugh" on Harden's 3. I mean he said something like "ugh"... But in a tone of admiration like he couldn't believe he just hit that shot, yet at the same time that's typical Harden so it's kind of expected. He followed it up with praise. It's hard to explain in words.

As for Afflalo's shot, he said something like "YES!" When he hit it. But he just hit a shot at the buzzer. That's a pretty expected reaction.

 

i used to love hearing hubie. he, along with walton,was one of yao's biggest fan it seemed.

 

what, he was praising harden all game. what do you want?

 

He seems to do that more when he notices someone blew an assignment, sags off, doesn't rotate on defense, etc. It wasn't because he didn't want Harden to make it. He will always think like a coach.

 

Hell, I did the same thing watching the game at home. Harden is just evil the way he can just take a victory away from a scrappy opponent at the right opportunity.

I like Hubie's commentary. He's unbiased, but if he sounded happy for the Nuggets it was probably because they've been a bit of a hard-luck team this year and people generally will root for an underdog to do well.

 

He was saying positive things about harden all night. Only thing he began to point out was that harden needs to stop taking 3's because he's struggling from the 3 pt line

 

he said all game that harden didnt shoot the 3 well this game, and he wanted him to shoot closer. i guess he thought he should have drove the ball

 

Too many people are way, way too sensitive over any perceived anti-Houston bias in the media.
