Every other team’s announcers are clearly more enthusiastic about their teams than the opponents. Our guys, especially Stu Lantz, are so critical of the Lakers and so complimentary of the opposing teams.
There’s such a marked difference even from the radio broadcast, where Ireland/Thompson still give respect to the other teams but don’t sound outwardly stoked when someone hits a big three against us.
Does this drive anyone else crazy? Or am I just being irrational?
No, they’re great! I’d rather have someone unbiased but still on our side than an annoying ass kisser in denial if we aren’t playing well. His commentary is usually informative and objective. It compliments well with Bill too. I like them.
