    Doug Collins and Hubie Brown. They both suck. No business commentating.

    Hubie Brown tonight
    • Kept saying Rockets got away with fouls
    • Would get sad when the Rockets grabbed an offensive board
    • The whole game he was trying to coach the Celtics into pushing it more and trying to get it inside. He was rooting for the Celtics for sure.

    After the final buzzer it sounded like Hubie's last bingo buddy died at the old folks home. Such a killjoy. Great game regardless.

    I have been pointing out Hubie's incompetency as a commentator for years.

    This senile fool cant even mask it now.

    It is plain as daylight for everyone to see.

    I dont even have to point out a few of his moronic takes this game. Just go and watch....

    It's a 48 minutes + OT Hubie Brown train wreck show.

    Trash coach. Trash commentator.

    Also FU to his defenders that say he likes to root for underdogs.

    Rockets team was down in first half ...by as many as 14. And he kept bagging on the Rockets the entire time.

    So STFU with that lame exuse.

    I have heavily defended Hubie Brown on this forum for years, claiming he has typically favored the underdog, or the team that is behind big, but wow today was definitely different. This was a fairly even matchup even without Kemba and Houston was behind big, and should have been treated as such. Broadcast team showed a major bias, and it was ridiculous to watch in a game that should have been commentated as being competitive. If it were the other way around, they would have not stopped mentioning that Houston BLEW a 17 point lead.

    The times I defended him was after watching him for years ,he seemed like a big fan of the Kyle Lowry led Rockets, so I dont think its a thing against Houston. I think it is likely Harden or the style of ball he must hate. He seemed to be pretty fair with the Tmac Yao era as well, so to mute he must go.

    Well, like I said, as a old school coach, or a new one (if someone was stupid enough to give him a job lol), he SUCKED.

    Because it is a national game and most of us dont have access to any other commentary?

    Hubie has been like this for years. He also does it in non-Rocket games. Favors one team...cheers for them....and then moans and groans against the other team

    Roco hits a three...ahgbrahh.
    Tatum makes a layup... Nice! There ya go!

    I think my favorite was when he said Theis's 2 goal tendings were controversial.

    Hubie's always hated the Rockets, even back to the days when Dream was playing. Great basketball mind, classic Rockets hater. Glad to get this win

    To be fair he just picks favorites every game, just a horrendous commentator.
