Clueless Commentary
In this thread we post stupid/clueless/WTF comments we hear on TV by commentators. Youtube clips are great if available:
I'll start off:
Clippers/Rockets game
Mike Smith and Ralph Lawler talk about how good the Spanish league is....and then proceed to say it's the best league outside of the NBA after the CHINESE LEAGUE. :coleman:

Re: Clueless Commentary
Raptors commentary said Bargnani is a unstoppable beast.
Rockets commentary said Scola is as good as Gasol and Dirk.

That was Clyde Drexler. :roll:
When Bill Walton was doing a Kings/Magic game this year, he called Chris Duhon an "outstanding player"...."When you've got him as your backup point guard, you're doing something right".

Re: Clueless Commentary
I like some of Heinsohn's comments on TV, but when he compared Stiemsma to Bill Russell....that's....I don't know what he was smoking.

Mike Smith is a treasure trove of stupidity. His "finest" moment was when Blake did a layup and he compared it to Michael Jordan.

Re: Clueless Commentary
This isn't from this season, but espn here ran a highlights show of the top 100 most disrespectful plays. Vince Carter was on it getting a dunk blocked or something and the commentary said he has never been known for dunking and should stick to jump shots as that's what he's known for. This was in his Toronto days

Re: Clueless Commentary
Whatever garbage Celtics and Bulls announcers say during the game.

Re: Clueless Commentary
During a Spurs vs Timberwolves games, they were playing in Minny and the crowd started an MVP chant for Kevin Love. One of the snide Spurs announcers said something to the extent that "they're doing that for just about everyone now." This was during THIS season.

Mike Breen getting disgusted at anything resembling a hard foul, flagrant or even swear words.

There hasn't been as much of this since Jackson left.

2009 playoffs Game 3 of the Portland-Houston series:
Mark and JVG were discussing the Rockets picking Yao Ming at #1 and JVG said it was "revisionist history" to say it was obvious he would be number one. Mark had no clue what that word meant.

Re: Clueless Commentary
Drexler is the dumbest analyst I've heard. The Celtics Heinsohn and the Blazers announcers wear the most insane homer glasses on their broadcasts. My favorites are the the Suns guys, they always praise the other team, sometimes a bit too much.
-
Re: Clueless Commentary
Some of the out of town announcers talk like they've never seen any team play but their own. And their own players are all future HOF guys. THe boston announcers mention Bill Russell talking about Steinsma.

Re: Clueless Commentary
The Clippers
It was a home game against the Hornets a few weeks ago and I think it may or may not have gone to OT. The point is that the Clippers hit a shot to tie the game(a freaking layup, so no doubt that it was a 2) with about 10 second left and one of the guys kept talking throughout the timeout about who the Clippers should foul and what they should do after they get the ball back. It took a couple of minutes for the other guy to go "Uhh, I think the game is tied. There's absolutely no need to foul." Then there was an awkward 5 second silence, and then they just started talking about something else.

Re: Clueless Commentary
There's something similar to this on NBA.com, you can find it in the Hang-Time blog, they show like 5 clips every time of terrible commentating, I found it quite amusing.. I'll get a link.

Re: Clueless Commentary
Hornets commentators, a few days ago:
"The T-Wolves need to put a more productive big man next to Kevin Love."
"If Love is outside and he misses they aren't getting the rebound."
...and Nikola Pekovic had just posted 21/11 on 9-13 against the Hornets in their previous match up.
:facepalm

Re: Clueless Commentary
Okay, this one isn't so much stupid as it is annoying.
Ever since Spike Lee made that Kobe Bryant documentary in '09, there's a Lakers commentator who always says, "Kobe going to work" or "Kobe doing work." It was cool the first few times after the documentary, but now 3 years later, it's like:

Re: Clueless Commentary
Drexler got alright last season, and now every single syllable he says is either redundant or downright idiotic. Watch any local Rockets game (home, he doesn't do away games) and you'll know what I mean.
Just an example, he once used the phrase 'easy as clubbing baby seals' on live broadcast, and said that Scola was on a similar tier as Wade and Bryant (or something equally ridiculous like that).

seriously? I like JFG commentary, at least he calls it as he sees it and doesn't fold to the higher ups in the NBA and act like the games perfect. I prefer him to bland commentary.

Lots of love for Clyde the Glide here, but at least ISH isn't dragging Bill Worrell down with him! :D

Re: Clueless Commentary
Ron Boone calling Brevin Knight BrevRin. Finally one game someone must have told him because he made an effort to say Brevin a few times and it was just too difficult for him so he just went back to BrevRin for the whole year. Amazing that a guy that has such a hard time getting his thoughts into words has been a commentator for as long as him.

:oldlol: Clyde is unintentionally funny. He's alright. Drexler is always saying stupid shit and Bill Worrell is always getting mad at him. They're perfect!
Edit: I forgot but why was Nocioni guarding Yao?

Bob Rathbun for the Hawks said James Harden looks like he should be on the front of a cough drops box.
I love Bob but i have no ****ing clue what he's talking about LOL

Clyde doesn't know he's on the air. "Get the ball down low to Yao, shit!"
