Doris Burke

[BoulderMike]

She probably is a very nice person, but she should not be a commentator for the NBA finals.  She has nothing to add, no insight, and makes non-value adding comments.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

the whole crew sucks

i much rather the TNT crew.

pre game............actual game..........post game

I like reddick

Having Burke on there also is unnecessary. Let her call second tier regular season games

I feel the opposite. I think Burke is fine but Reddick has no feel for calling a live game. Think he's really bad at it.

Whew

She stinks

[W8ting2McHale]

She stinks

Meh. A lot of the commentators suck. At least she called out Luka for being a whiny baby a few times and she was right about his 6th foul not being overturned.

[BudweiserCeltic]

They need Jeff Van Gundy back.

She was also right about Al being pushed out of bounds...

I feel like she often makes the right call like "oh, and he WAS fouled there".

I got so sick of her that I am over being sick of her.
I think she has been better in the finals than she has in some of those Boston-Philly Embiid love fests she called earlier in the year.

Mavs fans agree.



So do Pacers fans:



I haven't checked other teams but pretty sure they all hate Doris Burke too. She's one of those things that can cause fans across the NBA to unite for some reason 

[Neurotic Guy]

Funnier is how every fanbase thinks the commentators are biased against them.

It's the star-worship and the rationalization of terrible calls. Basically brown-nosing for the league. You don't notice it as much when it's benefiting your team. But it sucks to listen to when it's going the other way.

I will say though that Burke's analysis has been relatively good so far this series. She's recognized that the C's are getting whatever shot they want.

I?m with you.  I think it?s JJ that?s the bigger problem.  He was even worse when paired with Richard Jefferson earlier this year.  Doris does fawn too much over Embiid, but she?s otherwise not terrible.  I prefer her to Reggie Miller, for instance.
