    the most annoying ive heard was the dallas radio guys. ONe night i listened to the free game of the night on nba.com thing and it was mavs and rockets. It was the most annoying thing i have ever heard. The flying Dirkster takes it to the rack with a two hand windmill jam!!! oh baby that was the greatest play ever.

    Actually,(I'm a Dallasite) the guy you are referring to, Matt Pinto, just transferred to Dallas from Charlotte this year. He is definitely not a homer. He is just trying to bring some excitement to the radio broadcast. I would suspect he isn't even a Mav fan.

    were you saying that gene peterson sounds like a nightmare? i hope not, gene peterson is one of the best in basketball, and id say better than hearn, he has been with rockets broadcasting for 26 years.

    Jim Peterson- A.K.A the sellout
    Jim talks like he played for T wolves his whole career.

    Spurs team- They have like 5 or 6 guys doing broadcasts and htey just started this year. The way they suck up to the spurs is like they have been with the team for 15 years.
    I dont remeber Bernie Bickerstaff, Pj carlissimo and John Mccloud having any ties to the Spurs organization.

    Bill Walton This MFer is the worst stutter box toilet tissue in the mouth talker out there.

    Some of you guys have league pass, so I'll give you a little advice. If you watch the Nugs broadcasters and Scott Hastings is the color man, enjoy the show. He's great. Hilarious, knows the game, really a blast.

    If it's Todd Lichti however, put the mute button on.

    ah. finally, i can defend/slam the Minny reporters. They basically hired complete 'homers' for the job. These two won't ever make it past regional broadcasters. They are annoying, but are consistant. The worst broadcasters are the ones who slam a guy and then 3 games later praise him. Walton comes to mind. I haven't heard any of his Clipper games, but his National games and National Columns really irk me.

    The Wolves announcers suck farts. We had a pretty decent guy (Kevin Harlan) who, when Minnesota really sucked bad, made the games relatively interesting to watch and enjoy. The Wolves, and I'm being honest here, picked up Sean Grande (I mean Blande) because they felt that the team didn't need an announcer to help the game out. Grande sucks horribly. Trent Tucker used to be our color guy and he's 100 times better than Jim Petersen. Petersen used to sit and play with the bobblehead dolls that the Wolves gave away earlier this season like he was a five year old. Can't get much worse than that, guys!
