These idiots should never be allowed to touch another Cavs game ever again. The announcing this game is atrocious.

  3. Always hate van gundy, Collins has been solid but clearly still working on adjusting his style to a national broadcast vs local

  6. “These two go back like lawn chairs.”

    This may be the worst attempt at a clever comment I’ve ever heard.

  7. Started the game off saying “Allen and Gobert to tip off, two true 7 footers”. Allen is 6’9 lol

  8. I think Eric just learned about “old school” because he has said it 50 times. Overall though he has been solid to good.
    Van gundy is a moron

  9. Almost turned off the tv when he said

    “It’s a refreshing score at 7up”

    When it was tied at 7

  12. I played my wife the audio of the playoff Magic game where the commentary was cut out and Strus and Don hit B2B 3’s bc I think Peacock(?) is adding ability to turn off commentary. Would have been a good day for it. Rock sounds electric again.

  13. The way he yelled oh my god when Tomlin tapped it in…. wow.

    Every word out of his mouth is a hijinx or metaphor. Like just call the game man

  14. I tried to switch to Spanish, but it wasn’t available.

    Make another bird pun, please

    Edit. Now I find the Spanish broadcast, damnit!

  18. I thought VanGundy was okayish! Collin’s is why I kept muting the game! My god!!!! Every word out of his mouth was hyperbole you could just tell he couldn’t wait to say!!!!!!!!

  19. Apparently screaming is considered good commentating. I’ve never liked this guy.

    And anyone who has ever watched a Cavs game would know Merrill is a solid defender. He was comparing him to Garland defensively which is beyond embarrassing.

  20. never heard that Collins fellow before hope i never do again. van gundy won’t shut up I hear him in my sleep

  22. Pelicans reference once was weird, especially with Allen at the line I believe

  23. Wasn’t Collins the Hornets commentator that would crash out on anything extraordinary?

  25. Nah. Eric is a Cleveland guy. He loves coming back home and you can hear it when he calls the games. We’d be lucky to have him.

  26. I truly was sick of hearing how many dunks people had. It’s a minor quibble for sure, but dunks is probably (are probably?) my least favorite stat

  27. Yeah, Eric Collins was horrible in this game. Frequently called players by the wrong name, misidentified other players and refused to stop with the stupid “finch”-related bird jokes involving the Minnesota coach’s last name…

  29. I just rewatched the game since I couldn’t catch it earlier and I quite enjoyed them. Maybe it’s because i knew the outcome already.

  30. Eric Collins is elite – give me some excitement in the broadcast over a rambling auctioneer like Kevin Harlan

  33. Collins is awesome. Has been great on otherwise boring Hornets games. You guys just want homers – which I think our guys have been insufferable for years.

  34. I see both sides honestly. I’m surprised to see such polarizing reactions as I barely even noted the commentary. I didn’t have strong feelings either way

  36. Gundy is mid but Eric Collins is the best! Even when he misses with a call, it’s still hilarious.

  37. I like Stan, Jeff is the one who HATES Cleveland. Stan can occasionally be lame though, Jeff is just lame 24/7.

  38. Van Gundy is a clown, but I like Collins. He’s super fun for Hornets games, and I thought he did a fine job despite some quirks
