Am I the only one think Ryan Hollins is super annoying?

    He is extremely vanilla. I can't find the energy to hate him.

    We're coming off Bill forgetting half the players names and what arena they're in, Clyde offering no analysis beyond calling every player a "consummate professional" and Bull always discovering extremely common advanced stats and explaining them to everyone like they're toddlers over the course of 3 possessions. Ryan's fine.

    I actually like Ryan. First part of last season he was a bit rough, but he's gotten a lot better since then. He actually often times says what I'm thinking while watching the game. Like how certain times the tag man doesn't come and give the help they should've to help one of our bigs. Little things like that which we didn't have before.

    He is definitely super annoying. He also does not like Sengun.

    Overal i preffered Worell with Clyde. Ryan is better than Bullard though. I just think the duo has not enough character, but Hollins is the better one imo

    I think someone told him to make it exciting, coming from a much older broadcaster in Worrell, I have a feeling someone said make it exciting so the youth like it, and the youth like the Hornets announcers. Hollins sounds like he is trying to be like the Hornets guy, but doing an impression of him instead of it being organic.

    Listen to one Utah game and you’ll really appreciate him. Those Utah broadcasters are the worst I’ve ever heard, it’s like their players can do no wrong.

    Ryan's much better than Clyde or Bull. I still like the dude. I think Bill would've had a heart attack doing pbp next to Ryan, though. There are some layups to pull us within 12 that sound more like NBA Finals game-winning shots after Ryan's through with them.

    The only thing that annoys me about him is that he’s constantly repeating Craig’s name lol.

    He talks about himself too much and UCLA, he loves Sengun.

    You can start by looking at some of the best players in the league... Jokic, Doncic, Embiid to name a few.

    I love Sengun but he travels/turns it over in the post too much to say he has the best footwork.

    I like him until Garuba gets into the game.

    The "UZI/USI! I SEE YOU" irritates me so much.

    And why call him Uzi? It's not shortening his name at all it's still 2 syllables.

    I love bill, but listening to him the last few years was rough. Ryan is not great but still better than Bullard. 20% cringy vs 99% cringy.

    He’s ok and does call out the players if they are not doing what they need to. He needs to lose the “coach Stephen Silas”, BBQ chicken crap. He complains when the ball doesn’t move as it should and he is correct. Unfortunately, its always about the players not coaching. It seems every announcer has to try and sell a catch phrase, like the Astros “see ya later” (horrible) and Hollins BBQ Chicken and texans rock and roll. Either come up with something clever or quit trying to make some stupid catch phrase be your signature.

    I kinda liked it, most unique, genuine commentators like Worrell, Drexler, Bullard.

    Seems like a good guy but he isn't good otherwise. He supports those twitter idiots so I do question his intelligence

    He’s fine. I don’t listen and think he’s ****ing awful like Clyde. He’ll likely improve as well.
