Beth Mowins led with play-by-play, Doris Burke provided color commentary, and Cassidy Hubarth served as the sideline reporter. Do you think they did a good job, or were their performances lacking? I saw a lot of people complaining in the game thread about the announcing would be interesting to see people’s opinions.
Sideline reporter did fine, although to be fair I don’t think I’ve ever really had an opinion on a sideline reporter lol. As far as the broadcast booth goes my response is, there were 2 people doing that?
I’m a woman. If I never hear Doris commentate another game in my life, it’ll be too soon. The substance of what she’s saying relative to what’s happening in the game is either wrong or drivel.
I say this as someone who really enjoyed her on JJ podcast this summer and was excited to hear her commentate.
they fucking suck
The raptors had an all female broadcast that was far superior to this. Also, being anti woke is cringe af.
I switched to spanish 1 quarter in. The thing that bugs me the most is that doris was a very good basketball player, and when she was first allowed to finally commentate she was great, doing a lot of analyses of plays that were run and strengths vs weaknesses of players. Now, i dont know if espn told her to or she decided to, she says meaningless garbage that all the talking heads at espn say.
She never had a good voice for commentating so its become insufferable honestly. And i liked her first few broadcasts so im really sad. I love good basketball analysis in the games it really adds to the experience
