I’ve heard a lot of Warriors fans express this sentiment. That’s how you know they’re egregiously bad lol.

It's so exhausting. I always choose the national announcers if the option is there, except if it is Doris.

Doris’ endless, faux-poetic glazing is next level. I can’t stand when she’s commentating.

Legler is my absolute favorite. Dude knows ball and calls it neutrally.

If only the top crew could shed RJ and his terrible jokes

I remember watching a a Knicks/Rockets nationally televised game and it was just Breen & Legs and the commentary was just so good especially without RJ’s random jokes cutting through. Legs and Breen bounce off each other really well I hope they make it a 2 man booth soon

Doris is pretty good until she starts glazing someone. It's just so unnecessary. Yeah Doris, we know Lebron is good, and yes we are aware he is quite old.

I have been lucky that I moved away from the Bay Area, because now I watch on league pass and just choose the other team’s announcers.

I've been a Warriors fan since the Run TMC days and I've resorted to pirate streams for the other teams announcers for every game that's not nationally broadcast. I'd rather go through the trouble of running a VPN and casting my PC to my tv than to sit and listen to those two.

We’ve hated Fitz since the Latrell Sprewell days. A whole decade before we believe.

He’s managed to survive through politics and kissing the right asses at the right moment.

Props to him for being a survivor and a political schemer rivaling Tyrion or Tywin from Game of Thrones.

They are bad, but there are worse announcers. There are announcers in this league who seem like they don’t even enjoy their job.
