It wasn’t pretty, but this was a game we’d usually lose. We let a fairly bad Zion-less Pelicans team hang around at their home, but we closed the game out and cane out with the W. I’m becoming more and more optimistic about this season.

Wouldn’t being paid to broadcast games make him, in the most basic of terms, ‘professional’?

We went from having one of the best commentating crews across any sport to one of the worst. I've actually been trying to find opposing teams coverage of games so far this season to listen to.
Quiet; he's on a roll.

There’s no way NOLA’s clown show was better than our crew as uninspiring as everyone’s making them sound.

Big facts, they were awful. Zero enthuciasm and the color commentator was comedic. Barely analyzed plays with depth just called it as it was.

Yes, in the strictest sense of the word. The LOL crap is more unprofessional in a metaphorical kind of way. What's up with doing the broadcasts in the studio, anyway? Doesn't Vivek have enough money to send these guys on location? You've got fans in the stands now and national broadcasts on location so don't tell me the covid is to blame. These Kings' broadcasts continue to be weird and amateurish on so many levels.

I am optimistic about the team but not Luke Walton. We had a good start last year then we lost 8 or 9 in a row.

Definitely try it. You'll be amazed how many more details your eyes pick up, without someone cackling non-sense most of the time

as was discussed earlier in this thread, it’s an NBC sports thing. Vivek has no control over what NBC sports dos with its broadcasts. Every NBC sports broadcast crew is doing Away games remotely.

Draper is terrible. <insert crying emoji>

I am not a huge fan of Draper but he's fine, and this commentator team is definitely still one of the top in the league. So many of those old, bad homer commentators with dad jokes (Literally heard the Nets' Ian Eagle called it, "They want to chop Lamb!" in their game against Pacers) ours can't be as bad!
Also, don't forget the Sixers commentator...

That's rich coming from Kayte "what the fans don't understand is" Hunter

Imagine how many wins we’d have if they simply called the fouls he deserves, or points per game Fox would average. Hopefully he gets respect after we make the playoffs or Play-in because this is beyond ridiculous.

They’re clearly playing together like never before. I doubt it’s just a couple guys

True but i don’t remember feeling this good about our start last year even with the wins. Idk, maybe it’s short term memory loss and being a prisoner of the moment, but this team feels much more mature.

Only got to watch the 4th and bits of the second but looked more of the same? Glad we pulled out the win. Didn’t see much coherent offense. D looked rough for spurts. Haliburton finding his way, seems like he is warming up. I think I’ll go back and watch the first half
I don't get the announcer hate around here. I'm enjoying them more than the previous guy, by far. And I personally LIKE Kayte going into a lot of detail. Both are a heck of a lot better than the announcer just saying " Bibby....Webber.....Vlade....BIBBY!" over and over again, ad nauseum. For years.
It may not be for everyone, and I'm not saying they are the best at it by any means, but I certainly don't get all the complaints. They've done 4 regular season games, and they aren't even in the building to watch them personally, they are just watching TV like us. I have a preference, obviously, but still didn't let it really get to me the way you guys seem to take it (almost personally!). Just chill and enjoy watching the game itself.

idk, I gotta see it to believe it. They had some different looks I hadn’t seen before which is good so I hope it is true

I don’t remember the last time we had the lead 5 games in a row late into the 4th quarter. This team definitely is doing something to at least get to this point in games. As long as they keep hovering close to .500 I can see them getting used being in close games to thicken them up later in the season
