It doesn't really have any relevance, but what'cha all thinking about Jim Barnett and the other dude? I really like Jim Barnett and think he is one of the best broadcasters in the entire league aside from the guy from Chicago, some other guy from Indiana who i really enjoy and a couple of the national broadcasters, specifically Mike Tirico, Steve Kerr, Chris Webber and especially Jeff Van Gundy who is delight to listen to. But overall, i think Warriors' broadcasters are very competent compared to others around the league.
That's interesting cuz I noticed that there was a new guy on the road with JB a few games back. I know that Tim Roye took over road games for a little while, but I don't even know who the new guy is.
Anywho, Fitz was in Houston yesterday so I assume he'll be calling today's game too. Here's one thing about our broadcasters though: they are not biased. If they think the refs called a bad charge, they'll say so even if it was in the Warriors favor. JB is really insightful as well.
Bob Fitzgerald is the Warriors' play-by-play guy. He's REALLY good, despite local fans griping about homerism - take a listen to League Pass sometime and compare Bob's homer tendencies against San Antonio, the Clippers, the Heat... It's really quite tame, compared to these actual homers. Bob was the play-by-play man of the USA 2012 Olympic basketball team, so clearly he's got a great reputation.
The "other guy" was Glen Kuiper, who was called in as an emergency sub during Bob's family related absences. He's the A's play-by-play guy and he only has a job because his brother is an Emmy-award winning commentator for the Giants.
Fitz will be the voice of the Warriors for a LONG time. I see Jim having 5 more years, tops.
