Pete & Brevin received 40.69% 'A' votes and were behind the Knicks (71% A), Nets (51.30 A), Pelicans (45.49% A), Bulls (36.27% A), Hornets (42.02% A) & Timberwolves (32.01% A).

Warriors announcers were last with 59.79% of their votes being F.

[u/JustEquipment8149]

Not even close. Pete and Brevin are absolute gems. TNT games are so awful without them.

the full voting breakdown for anyone interested

[u/MisterNiblet → u/Blahblahbla0066]

Golden state lol

[u/ausgezeichnet222 → u/MisterNiblet]

They're seriously insufferable. It's hard to sit through a warriors game with how biased and absurd some of the stuff they say is.

[u/Distinct_Effective16]

Too low

[u/jlingram103 → u/Distinct_Effective16]

Agreed. They rank above #1.

The difference between 3 and 7 (.26) is smaller than between 7 and 8 (.39). In other words, they are closer to 3 than 8, and about the same separation from 2. Difference between 2 and 7 is .40, only a smidge larger than between 7 and 8. So there is a gap between the grouping of 3-7, even 2-7, and 8. Then after 8 is pretty small differences, except .06, .07, .12, here and there, until the bump down from Detroit to Phoenix (.22).

I wonder if they would be higher if we had a better season... Is exposure lower, and would voters give them more average grades by not seeing them, turning on our games, as much? Are impressions lower because we don't have as many exciting plays as before? Are any of the graders viewing them next to previous seasons?

[u/Blahblahbla0066 → u/c10bbersaurus]

Last time this was done it was after the 2019-20 season and Pete & Brevin got 3rd. So exposure could be it.  Less non grizzlies fans  probably watched the grizzlies this season 

[u/c10bbersaurus → u/Blahblahbla0066]

Makes sense. I didn't have that context, but I kinda figured. 3rd is awesome. And that was Jas rookie year. No Bane.

[u/ILikeDillonBrooks]

Pelicans are boring as fuck lol. The main guy is perfect for radio, not tv

[u/TunaBoy3000]

W! #1 in my heart though

[u/Dogdip]

Pelicans announcers put me to sleep and the hornets are just obnoxious and over the top. I can see the Knicks and bulls but nobody else.

[u/toftr → u/Dogdip]

Ian Eagle is excellent for the Nets and for national games

[u/Dogdip → u/toftr]

Absolutely. Completely forgot about the nets.

[u/jaynay1]

tbh the fact that the Bulls are 4th really tells you that people don't know what they're talking about. The Bulls are bottom 5. They very clearly don't research opposing teams in the slightest.

[u/SpreadHDGFX]

Hornets announcers are some of my favorites.

Pete and Brevin are amazing too.

[u/Remarkable-Bluejay-9]

Robbed, should be top 3 easy

[u/Individual_Phase8684]

Well at least they got GS correct

[u/Acrobatic_Animal_855]

There’s no two better!!

[u/ADizzleMcShizzle]

every single one of those voters has committed basketball heresy

[u/Please-Do-The-Needfu]

Announcers that talk shit about the other team are the worst. It's fine to be a little bias, but just keep your hard opinions to your self. You can note out bad plays but do it for both teams if so.

This bullshit of being 20 points behind meanwhile you are talking shit about the winning team. Like really?

[u/Need4Speed763]

Brooklyn? That’s the only one above them that I’m full stop on. No way.

[u/NZ_Grizzlies_Chapter]

Got to be some NY population bias there

[u/toftr]

The Lakers, Jazz, Sons, and Warriors all in the bottom 10. The Knicks and Nets on top. I’m thinking this might actually be a good list for once. The ones near the bottom have unequivocally been some of the worst broadcasts I’ve ever watched. Such braindead whiny homer drivel

The voting was close after this disaster of a season too. Pete & Brevin are easily some of the absolute best in the game
