    Am I the only one who hates how “cringe” is misused nowadays? It’s the new “literally.”

    Agree. He's constantly slipping in analysis with quick comments about mistakes and set plays without doing the Hubie lecture (which I don't mind).

    I also like Ackerman. I think the worst trait in an announcer is the inability to see the game impartially. Both of our announcers will say a foul was called correctly or incorrectly whether or not it benefits the Rockets or not. I often hear "The Rockets fouled but didn't get called" and "The other team shouldn't have been called for that". I'm an emotional basketcase during important games, so I don't need announcers speaking to the little guy on my shoulder who tells me we're getting screwed.

    Hollins sucks. So did Bull. So did Clyde.

    That Nigerian-American WNBA girl who’s from Houston. What was her name? She’s got such personality, such fantastic media presence. She’d be absolutely great in the booth. They should absolutely try to get her.

    Nope. Literally, cringe, cope, af, etc. An influencer or a meme says it and the lemmings get in formation!
