I low key like Celtics commentators for Hawks games
I highkey like the celtics commentators for all games.
I midkey like the Celtics commentators for…oh, never mind
Scal has lessened his homerism and has been very complimentary to opponents. I also like some of his insights about the game. The Scal hate was probably due to him being an NBA meme and ofc being a Celtic. Tbf, Scal was obnoxious during his early years of being commentator.
Then Drew is always funny with punchlines.

“DICK PUTS IT IN”
Scal being a basketball dude always acknowledges when opposing teams are playing well, I love it when opposing commentators compliment a well crafted play or a huge clutch shot because it shows you actually respect the game and the opponent.
Scal has gotten a lot better since he started. I can imagine the pressure he might have felt trying to fill Tommy’s shoes and how to still be himself.
I enjoy it when he compliments the other team too. All I’m really paying attention to is C’s lately, but I love basketball and it’s fun to hear him share good things going on in the rest of the league.
Scal just genuinely appreciates good hoops. Yes he’s a homer, but he gives star players their due all the time as long as it’s for good basketball instead of “being a savvy vet that can draw fouls”.
Drew is genuinely very funny, but it is usually cutting against the other team. That’s to be expected, so as long as you don’t take it personally I think they are some of the best local broadcasters in the league
Unpopular opinion: if you listen to a home teams broadcast you should expect homer takes and it shouldn’t bother you.
I’ve been streaming games through various sites for years and occasionally I get a home team broadcast and not the national broadcast and I truly don’t give a shit. I’m there to watch Celtics hoops and I don’t care if the Hornets commentators are fanboying over Lamelo all night.
