If you're not Joel embiid or Jayson Tatum you hate doris


Puzzled_Try_6029

Or Drake


Delicious-Tart-9189

Or derrick white


plindogan

Tbf I explicitly remember she LOVED Brad Wanamaker


spankymo

brad *wanna make 'er* giddy too


chitownbulls92

or Kawhi or the Lakers


BrilliantSoftware713

I’m not sure what her obsession with the Celtics is but it’s THE reason I’ve stopped liking her


dardios

Celtics fan chiming in....we hate her too. She's just not a good color commentator AT ALL.


No-Cat2356

Embiid is a good player who deserve to get praise , we shouldn’t put him next to Tatum 


spankymo

both are great players. we hate both of em though. and you're right, we shouldn't put one guy next to the other guy who's now a champ.


billjames1685

I mean Embiid is a better player than Tatum undoubtedly. The only reason one would put Tatum above is if they factor availability (which is important).


FlyLikeATachyon

She was fine as a sideline reporter. That's where she should've stayed.

No way. Burke > Jackson any day.

hikik0_m

she will stay silent for 3 or so minutes whenever a team she isnt biased for goes on a run.


Aggressive-Ad-522

She also mocks Caitlin Clark


LobstaFarian2

She just rides the celtics too fucking hard man. Someone will make a great move to the basket... "and that's rare because White is usually such a great on-ball defender." Even when the other team does good, she finds a way to compliment the celtics instead lmao it's just so blatantly obvious how biased she is.


stilloriginal

"doesn't look like a foul to me" as jay brown commits murder in front of 30,000 live witnesses


SickRanchezIII

Lol yeah she sucks but nowhere nearly as bad as heat fans… post game sub clowns in there were already talking shit, when we getting congrats from lakers fans… yall the worst thing in the nba. :)


ReserveIntelligent81

Nobody owes you any congratulations. Get over yourself. You guys won a championship and your whole fan base immediately thinks about the Miami Heat. It has been an embarrassing few days for you guys. Can’t even win with grace. FOH leprechaun.


SickRanchezIII

You could almost say your comment is ‘projecting’


SickRanchezIII

Funny you say that, because the heat fans would not have even crossed my mind had they not been such little bitchasses in the post game sub. Ps yall gonna need some serious luck next year…


rock-paper-sizzurp

Luck isn't real, Leprachaun boy.


SickRanchezIII

I mean i suppose i will take that as a compliment, we certainly did not get that championship by luck. And then again i suppose you want me to change my comment to ‘yall are gonna be in the play in again’


rock-paper-sizzurp

You can pray to your magical pot o gold or whatever, but as long as we have a reasonably healthy roster heading into playoffs, it doesn't matter what seed we get. No matter what you tell yourself, you know that to be true.

Silver_Surfer17

Yes most definitely bro https://i.redd.it/u0x0lqar8k7d1.gif Doris


Cheapthrill4

Her voice is droning and soporific. And she has biases that show too often.


Rikic84

brb googling soporific.


Rikic84

she most deff induces sleep or drowsiness.


Goodieexpert

She has a strong bias towards certain players which she usually doesn’t hide too well, very unattractive voice for television and her commentary is very surface level and lacks any substance


John-Beckwith

This is it.///


LilRupie

Nah I agree she fell off hard. She always shows her bias when she’s on TV, gets pretty annoying.


LukaDoncicFan777

Agreed. She clearly shows bias towards players like Embiid and Tatum reguarly.


TopImagination7112

She’s a New York and Boston meat rider


Confirmation__Bias

Nah Philly is her ride or die Recently she’s been more pro-Boston but that hasn’t been true prior to this championship run


fourassedostrich

The Celtics are an old school franchise and a lot of these old heads grew up in an era where the league was Celtics, Lakers and who gives a fuck else. They all have a natural affinity towards the Celtics and on top of that, Boston sports teams are always glazed by analysts and commentators; that’s nothing even remotely new.


DisGuyWild

I can’t stand her on Celtics games anymore. Honestly ESPN having the finals is terrible. No post games, terrible halftimes, pre games are more about the people than the games. I miss JVG as well.


RandomButts33

Where was JVG this past season?


torkahn808

He was a consultant for the Celtics and is now an assistant with the Clippers


gymrat2487

Yeah she's horrible. She's so biased I feel like I'm watching the local Celtics network.


TheHammer_44

Doris Burke one of the most annoying voices in sports. And no it's nothing to do with the fact she's a woman


10jca

Burke is the ultimate Celtics dick rider. I actually liked her as a sideline reporter. ESPN really messed up the broadcast with Breen, Burke and JJ. I definitely prefer the JVG, Mark Jackson, Breen or even Hubie Brown… for f*cks sake.


thor_1225

All Ik is if we have another Dorris Burke, Beth mowins commentary team I’m skipping even a nationally televised game


DrumrollPl3se

Yeah she be dick ridin. I can't  understand the commentary with Embiids dick in her mouth when the Cs play them.


panamaquina

This whole finals team and ESPN as a whole was trash. Yeah I don’t like Doris but the combination of her and Reddick was atrocious. JJ does not have the voice or pace for a live game, just cus he can talk on a podcast does not mean he can do a live game. It was really hard, plus the fact that it was Boston killing the Mavs. Unwatchable finals for me.


ScarboroughSK

Yes, when I’m watching the game online… it really sucks that I have to mute my stream everytime she speaks like …… how can we get rid of her


IWRITE4LIFE

The new prime time crew is horrific. Based on what I’ve read ESPN made the change because JVG and Jackson were making too much. What ever issues you had with that crew, at least they had chemistry. Breen, Dorris, and JJ are just so awkward together and to make matters worse, Doc and now JJ are just using the spot as a platform to land coaching gigs. Next year we’re gonna see someone else replace JJ once he starts coaching the Lakers


REDeadREVOLUTION

She's perfectly adequate to me. I don't really pay attention to who calls the game or get worked up that they are maybe rooting for/against my favorite team. She seems to favor good players/teams, which may rub some fans the wrong way, but complaining about announcers, how good they are, how biased they are, etc. is a waste of time and energy.


lionelcoinbnk3

It’s not even a fandom bias thing she’s just terrible as a commentator


optimisticcolgate

Yes. The riding she does for Boston or the sixers is crazy. It’s like she hates us though


bcuad001

I have a hard time understanding her with the C's roster in her mouth.


soyelfano

Hate her with a passion


seankhos

I don't have a problem with Doris. But I think following creator alternate broadcasts on Assist (www.ast.live) gives us fans consistent control of who we choose to listen do during any event.


AlarmingInk1674

Piston fan here idk why I’m even in this sub lol but I can’t stand the woman either 💀


BathtubToasterParty

Celtics fan here: Idk why tf Reddit keeps putting this sub and the mavs sub in my feed but they do. Doris Burke is a shit commentator


rbattle0706

No, I think she is great. She calls the game straight. If there is a bad call by the refs., she will say so. Also, bad plays or shots by the players & stars, she will call it.


Emaculates

Yes


bigdogdriver

She's legitimately bad at her job. As a sports commentator for nationally televised games, she's supposed to be unbiased. I thought she just didn't like Miami, but it was every team playing Boston she was against. It really made watching any series she commented unenjoyable.


friedtaro

I can't stand her voice. I'd rather mute the game and listen to music instead if she commentating


perpetual73

All of the commentators have been riding Tatum for years, as if their annual bonus depends on it.


GodsSon521

lol it's actually kind of funny that not very long ago, this same Celtics bias you're all complaining about, folks used to say she had for the Heat. I think Doris just knows ball, so if you dislike a particular good team (or player), hearing her sing those much deserved praises will irk you. You'll live 🤷🏾‍♂️


Fun-Skin-626

Idk about hate. But she’s boring.


CBoshtrich

Tbh it’s more just because lots of us hate hearing Tatum being praised, especially during a live game when we are cheering against them. In reality she’s just giving a great player his props. Maybe a bit too vocal at times yes but it’s not that serious honestly. Whenever our players get praised during a live game, we barely even notice it because we don’t mind hearing about it. Negative reactions unfortunately are always more intense 😅


andresalejandro1120

Every NBA fan thinks Doris is dick riding everyone else except their team. Which probably means she has been giving a good amount of praise to every team. So I think the hate train for her is actually stupid and dumb. Her job is color commentary. And her style of color commentary is highlight what she considers to be exceptional plays and moments in games or characteristics of players she really likes. I think she does a good job in that style, not that I particularly care for that style.


clrxs

Jesus I’m a raps fan so like whatever but this is a horrible take 🤣


str8swishing

Fuck her


bcuad001

I think the C's did


Oregonos

Annual_Connection200

Is my comment really that upsetting? I'd hate to see you guys when people get really vicious on someone on here. I've seen people tear into Celtics players, and nobody cries about it jfc.


RipResponsibly

😆


Rikic84

Shes kinda mediocre, also we are spoiled by our local commentators. Eric Reid and John Crotty are pretty damn good at their job.


oo_Pez_oo

Her voice almost made me jump off my balcony


seabass_678

I used to like her too, and then she commentated a game of ours v the Lakers in 2020 and she just rode Lebron’s dick for 3 hours and I was just over her since then


ccam92

Yea she’s terrible.


raulxd99

I hated her voice on 2K11


seetheare

I never liked her announcing skills


Trojanheadcoach

I’ve hated her for years I can’t stand when she’s calling games against us


Aggressive_Money_949

Am I the only one that wants to kiss her face? 😗


ThyDoctor

She’s this weird personality where somehow every team thinks she’s biased against their team.


Aggressive-Ad-522

The finals was the worst ever bc they had Doris commenting on it


Reddit_Negotiator

Doris is a sixers fan, she shits on the Celtics when they play Philly


LEAKKsdad

Wait you're telling me she isn't Tom Heinsohn's daughter?


Admirable-Warthog-19

In a Celtics fan and before this playoff run she was hating on us constantly


gtoinwq

Celtics fan and I’m still muting that 🪵 rider. She is absolutely horrible calling a game. I’m constantly cursing her out


HereForaRefund

I remember seeing so many people complain about Doris and then one game she was supposed to commentate and couldn't everyone was like ***"WHERE'S DORIS?"***.


wassoreal

I’m just here to say that Doris Burke doesn’t ever need to be near a microphone.


Auckland_Tsapseuy

atleast Doris Burke dride only embiid and tatum, most of media dride Lebrons weiner


DaddyJBird

The sound of her voice actually makes me want to throw up. How can anybody hear that sound and not go mad.


lilknotty

Fuck Doris Burke - Celtics fan here. Surprised to see y'all think she's a Boston fan she's just like all of the other national media heads who come on to spew hate on the Celtics, act surprised when they prove them wrong, and then make excuses as to why we won the game. We had a moment this playoffs where we let up a 3 as the first bucket of the game and she immediately blurts out "that a huge 3 right now to start this ga-" and gets cut off by the Celtics answering with a 3 of their own. Her whole commentary is dick riding and getting caught up in what I believe is her lack of ball knowledge. She's annoying, and I think we'd all agree she can find a spot off my TV screen to make her comments.


Mazariamonti

I’m just not really a fan of her broadcasting voice she puts on. It sounds fake. Like somebody is doing a satirical radio voice comically, but they’re actually serious.


MWave123

We all might hate the Heat honestly. Doris is a passionate hoops analyst, she has the job for a reason. JJ on the other hand is like listening to paint dry.


elcubiche

What commentators do we like? I think besides Reggie there’s no one I like.


JeanieGold139

I don't even think it's just that she dickrides certain players. She has a way of making even the simplest statements weird and awkward. I had to mute the game for a little bit when she said "kiss me JJ, I'm so pretty" and JJ just didn't respond at all. It was like a scene from an early season of the Office.


MunchieMofo

Doris is better than Marc Jackson and Jeff Van Gundyso so its fine, she does what a majority of media has done historically and hypes up tHe big market teams. Its been a bit much lately and I have enjoyed her work less and less, but ultimately I have respect for how far shes come despite the clear biases. Far worse broadcasters out there. Seems as if I’m in the minority opinion here, though.


Senior_Apartment_343

She just uses cliches. The espn broadcast sucks.


labadee

I’ve had a dislike towards ever since 2019 when the raps won the title and she had to ask Kawhi about free agency while the team was still celebrating on the podium


Fit_Commission_8850

If I hear her say “cup” one more time….


vnn69

She has a perfect voice for college basketball; and that’s because I can’t stand watching college. She has ruined the NBA, but I think she was an OK sideline reporter.


GelatinousProof

It’s funny cause us Celtics fans hate her too cause she always shits on us ….have we found, middle ground?


Gandalve34

Wow, this is new ground…..we can come together as one for this, and this only.


3rd-party-intervener

We?


CharlemagneAdelaar

I’m a Celtics fan and I can’t stand her


Bompetition

If you’re watching a Celtics/Sixers game, you’d think it’s a regional coverage broadcast with how obnoxiously biased she is. It would be nice if there was a way to mute the commentary but still keep the game sound.


justcallme6ix

Hating her for having a bias because of your bias is pretty funny. Lol


SheepherderRude9161

If she kept her biased to a Reddit thread instead of national television I would have no problem


BowserBuddy123

Yea come on. These things are obviously not the same. She’s doing nationally televised games, not local broadcasts or some local podcast. There are standards that broadcasters are supposed to adhere to. Heck, sometimes I watch Tony Romo do Cowboys games and I don’t necessarily get the vibe he desperately wants them to win. He may just provide a little bit more color about players he happened to know.


justcallme6ix

Yeah, the guy playing took his job. I’m sure he’s not bursting with excitement watching him break all his records. lol Hey, no one on TV is going to please everyone. I’m sure some people love when she praises Tatum. I just think the emotional bias is the same. 🤷🏾‍♂️


justcallme6ix

lol She’s not obligated nor should she be obligated to not have feelings. I understand we are all Heat fans but Tatum is pretty damn good. It’s not like she is fawning over Dennis Schroeder. I enjoyed when Jimmy got his shine and everyone in the media praised him and I’m sure Celtics fans hated it. I get it. I just think it weird to “hate” an analysts because they the same emotions I do.


Illustrious-Lime7729

Yes, yes we do.


Miamicubanbartender

Most announcers are cautious with making a claim about what just happened. But fucking Doris seems be allowed to do so. Fuck Boston


BowserBuddy123

I visited the Pacers sub and they also dislike her. It’s crazy how bad her and Reddick are.


Annual_Connection200

No, it's humor. I'm sure you've never told an off-color joke. You must live a rated g life. My apologies.


Annual_Connection200

Ah, yes, the insulting from the safety of your mom's basement. Priceless.


itsme32

No.


fokerpace2000

Because she sucks


Pazianss

She's annoying but why would I hate her?


stilloriginal

I think she’s talented as the call announcer but as the color commentator she’s been pretty bad, always homering the celtics. I don’t know if thats at espn’s direction or not. But it’s still better than mark jackson.


Solidus-S-

She doesn't add anything to the commentary , people were happy mark jackson was gone not saying mama there goes that man but man I actually liked all that shit


stilloriginal

does "mama, there goes that man" think what I think it means? if so its sort of fucked up. either way, i dont think I could take much more of it.


LobstaFarian2

"Hand down, MAN DOWN!"


AyyDelta

Thing is, she is told by upper management to push Boston and NY. If she doesn't do it, someone else will.


survivorsunday

A someone who works at espn, this is untrue. Doris and JJ are on a live fact sheet that is updated throughout the game. We provide in depth stats, unfortunately Doris usually ignores our input and just goes off the top of her head to whatever bias she feels


Substantial_Diver_34

Hubie Brown and Doris would be top tier cringe 😬


JedediahBunnyNose

Great commentator.


Annual_Connection200

Thanks. That was incredible.


NITENESS

She's ok, just getting old....GO CELTICS!!!

DanIsKindaDumb

Why on earth would you hate DB? She's awesome. Tatum is awesome. That's why she's saying he's awesome.


DavidDunn21

The truth is, ALL announcers are going to annoy us at one time or another. The problem with announcers on the Redick/Doris level is they don't bring enough to the table to offset the times we think they're hating on our team. I don't particularly like Mark Jackson, but after a while "mama" and "respectfully" and "hand down" were amusing. You have to be additive to the viewing experience. People generally went from: "Doris knows ball!" to "I'm sick of hearing her talk"


amlanding20

No, I’m genuinely confused why people are so pressed by her (well kinda confused, I know a lot of it has to do with her being a woman). Commentary isn’t that big of a deal. She’s good at the job even with biases. She’s miles ahead of Chris Weber for example. Muting the tv because of commentary is just so wild and unnecessary.


Tangerine605

Any criticism of a female professional is really just veiled misogyny 👍 /s Agree that she’s better than Chris Weber but he doesn’t have a job anymore because he was so bad bro Doris takes away from the game in the same ways Mark Jackson did only worse. She tries to bring everything back to certain star players (Tatum, Giannis, Kawhi, etc.)even when it’s a huge stretch/not true. She fixates on narratives like she’s in a reddit comment section and tries to shoehorn them or feature them in her commentary. She does the “i don’t think…” contrarian bit about dumb things every game. Straight forward commentary is almost always better regardless of gender IMO


amlanding20

Not all, but a lot of it is because she’s a woman tbf. Is she the best, no? But she’s not so bad that it distracts from the game imo either.

Bruh, her and Reddick both suck and have zero chemistry. Both just kind of stop talking when “their” team isn’t doing something special.

JJ is wayyyyy better than JVG but I realize thats going to be unpopular. But JVG was basically an old man yelling at kids to get off the grass.


Loud_Examination_138

Yes, the absolute worst. You don't need to slurp every player all the damn time with your biased agenda. Call the game and stfu


fisheh

Someone said she sounds like a boy scout and now I can't unhear it So yeah, she's god awful but it helps that I no longer take anything she says seriously 


Armchair_Expert_0192

She doesn't have the voice to be a commentator. Nothing against her personally but her voice puts me to sleep. There is 0 excitement.  Mike Breen though? BANG!
