    His voice is so annoying, I just want to punch him.

    Bill Walton, Isaiah Thomas, Chris Webber, PJ Carlesimo- voice is bad but shows no favoritism

    Yeah he’s a little biased sometimes but I don’t think he’s on joe bucks level. He still gives props to the rockets. I mean it’s hard not to the way we’re playing but he’s a decent announcer in my opinion.

    We’re making everyone believers anyway

    Cheryl Miller his Sister, remember her antics as a coach with the Phoenix Mercury, she had a broken foot in a cast coaching always talking getting Technical Fouls getting thrown out of games, later on became a sideline reporter for TNT. I guess that's how he got TNT connections.

    I was happy in the first game of the playoffs, it was C Webb but disappointed when he was replaced by Miller.

    Reggie Miller is to NBA announcing what James Dolan is to NBA ownership.

    Who the **** is Joe Buck and why should I care about him? The only Buck I Know is Buck WIlliams and Milwaukee Bucks

    Nothing will top the funeral pyre that Jon Barry lit when the Rockets made their comeback in game 6 vs the Clippers.

    Just here to say I used to be a Joe Buck hater but I think he actually did a nice job during the postseason. Smoltz was awful though.

    Tonight Reggie not only said "more better," he also mentioned "field golds."

    True. Marv should've retired to a comfortable life of toupees and ladies undergarments years ago.

    I think the best example of this is during Game 1, when a Warriors player (Curry? KD? Don’t remember who it was) hadn’t missed a FT and Marv Albert commented on his streak and the player missed the FT. Regina Miller jumped on him and claimed it jinxed the player, just like how mentioning a pitcher not giving up a hit during a no hitter is a jinx. Great analogy...except it’s only if you are a supporter of one team. A “neutral” broadcaster shouldn’t care about “jinxing” a player or a team because it’s their job to report facts. Chalk it up to a general lack of professionalism or having a mouth full of Warrior peen.
