While I enoy their sense of humor, their homerism drives me crazy sometimes. Some announcers I have had good experiences because I feel they are pretty objective are Dallas, Toronto, and even NY. I like Walt Frazier.
What I don't like about Mike and Mike, is that they go stretches where if the team isn't playing well, they almost seem like they are apologizing for it. Over and over and over. You don't have to apologize, we know you aren't responsible. Don't make excuses. There aren't any. If the team doesn't show up to play, it doesn't. That's just the way it is sometimes.
The other thing I don't like is that they often seem to try and make role players better or more important to the team than they are. Like the other night where I had to listen to them basically lament about Steve Blake being out (It was the beginning of the injury period) for a whole half of the game. That is all they did. After about 1.5 quarters of it, I just turned off the sound, and turned on some music.
I would respect them so much more if they were more objective. I feel sometimes (please note, sometimes) like I am being fed propaganda by the gistapo.
