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?
The Lakers announcers are the only unbiased play by play in the league. They like seeing talented basketball players challenge our squad. They also pay tons of respect to our squad when we are playing well.
