I always look for the opposite team commentators if available.

Yup, he definitely prefers boxing over basketball.

Darn, he's back.
Had it been Albert, I'd be right there with you.
Exactly. He's the new Gary Bender. Nice guys but don't add any character or substance to their calling of the game.
The worst part about Albert is he makes the wrong call so often. "Dragic stepped out of bounds. Turnover. Ball back to the Magic... NOW, they're saying it was an illegal screen on Plumlee."

No Albert, the ref called the foul on Plumlee from the beginning. I saw it as plain as day from home. You just guessed at the call and then corrected yourself.
The ones that bother me the most are the homer comments. "Look at that great defense on XXX!"

No, he clearly dribbled it off his foot out of bounds and nobody was within 5 feet of him.

I can delete the extra one if you'd like. (and these two subsequent posts)

If you guys are complaining about Steve Albert then just stop. Focus all your attention on the downfall of Esposito first PLEASE

We should have hired Joel Myers (now with the Pelicans). He was available and is fantastic. Used to do Lakers broadcasts. Not sure why they got rid of him.

I haven't had to listen to Espo once since preseason ended.

I also liked Kevin Callabro (former Sonic's announcer). I'm not sure where he ended up (without Googling).
