Kelly Dwyer calls out BBC coverage of the Bulls London game
And while I see his point, look at things in this perspective: They pronounced names better than the NBATV call did. Including the first name of our backup guard, which is something the head coach can't even do.

Kelly, you da man
But, I’d rather have 2 random people from the Ukraine announce Bulls games than Neil and Stacey.
The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.

agreed!
the last play was actually called better than the American call.
Underrated part of the final shot: the VDN grin afterwards. You could tell he was happy, yet was looking over at the Jazz bench as if to say ‘yeah, I know they shouldn’t be celebrating this much for a preseason win’.
(then you have Noah with the two arms raised…that’s crossing the line, haha)

I'll give Noah a break. That's just who the guy is.
And it’s not like he’s never tasted success or anything.
Where was Tyrus Thomas? Was he sulking on the bench because saw his replacement do something he had never done?

Hey now, don't forget those game-clinching jumpers in Boston
Tyrus was probably standing by the tunnel holding his follow-through in the air

I think that was for the London crowd.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!

He was imitating Soccer victories
It wasn’t really a home game for either team, but Noah was acknowledging the fans. It’s just custom.

That was hilarious great call because its not like I listen to guys calling the game anyway. But these guys were entertaining.

Captain Kirk as they call him in the NBA.
Or as Vinny calls him Captain Kurt.
I've got this thing and it's fucking golden!

maybe that'd be a good way to get Vinny to remember
think of his nickname, as ‘captain kurt’ makes no fucking sense.

What was that Larry Bird line?
I’m bad at deciphering English-speak.

When I came back from the game, I watched the replay on ESPN UK
It seemed like the usual shaky yet solid basketball commentary that happens at most basketball games. I dont know if the BBC carried the same announcers but they were a bit wet behind the ears but did a solid job.
I wouldn’t be suprise if they did do a bad job, but I guess there not used to commentating on a international product. Though they kinda do OK with the NFL coverage, so who knows?

Oh wow I just saw the Youtube vid..okay those weren't the same guys who did the commentary on ESPN UK
These BBC dudes are awful….a real shame cause they cover Europen sports well. When it comes to American Sports they need to let the guys on Sky Sports, ESPN UK or even bloody channel Five to handle the game.
Wow….lol. Those guys were just ignorant.

The Taj free throw
at around the 1:15 mark is hilarious.
There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket.

"coming from the Utarr bench"
Yeah, they got most of it right. :P It was as though I was commentating a cricket match. They do call it a “match” right?

I live my entire life in preparation for a zombie apocalypse
a reinforced school bus is my preferred vehicle, and once I procure one I’m heading straight to Gander Mountain to begin looting and stocking up on supplies.

Swirsk sounds like
the Will Ferrel version of Harry Carey if he was gargling Budweiser.

So much fun.But ,“Halftime in any American Sport means only one thing…. let’s get fat!” -line is kinda true,isn’t it?:)
General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a huge dude return to his seat with a slice of pizza, a pretzel and a beer. That is the best half time show ever.
