I think no matter who the announcers are people who listen to them for 162 games a year are going to find aspects they don't like, and they'll naturally key into those as time progresses and get more and more annoyed at it.
Heh, apparently ESPN was to blame for the clock malfunction the other day. An ESPN technician plugged into the same power source as the clocks and blew the power (which didn't stop ESPN for mocking the Raptors).
He really relaxes his body after releasing the ball, so rather than making wild stabs at comebackers while being amped up, he calmly snags them. Really smooth to watch.
