Blazers broadcast is the worst in pro sports

I, unfortunately, am a Suns fan living in Portland. Portland as a city is amazing, but having to watch suns games on Portland broadcasting is... well, comedy! The half time broadcasting is done by a guy with a stupid grin that he can not wipe off his face which is followed by the cheesiest of comments. His co-anchor is a man with 5 chins that has probably never dribbled a ball in his life. Their actual knowledge of basketball outside what the teleprompter tells them is very much in question. Worst of all, the in-game announcers sound just as a bad as a biased, drunken fan in the bleachers. Every opponents foul is followed by a comment similar to, "wow he just mauled B-Roy, you don't do that to an all-star of his caliber!" Every blazer foul is followed by a comment similar to "he barely even touched him! Worst call i have ever seen!" even when its a very clear foul. Every single call is complained about throughout the entire game. I am often forced to watch constant replays of a foul they want to complain about while the game is still going on, forcing me to miss a play or two. The in-game commentators are constantly bashing the suns fans and players to the point that it's just not professional. This series has been painful to watch with out the legend Al McCoy providing the play-by-play. I understand that the broadcasters have to be loyal to a team. However, when it gets to the point of being so terribly unrealistic and biased it just makes the broadcast seem so amateur. Just thought i would share my pain. I hope everyone else out there realizes how lucky you are to not have to watch the Trailblazers amateur hour!
