Celts Sixers Female Color Commentator

I'm not a fan of female commentators in any sport, but I've always felt the female color commentator on the Boston/Philly game is a great commentator. What say the Hornets Rant?
I realize this isn't Hornets related, but this is the most appropriate location for target audience.

Dorris Burke knows her shite

People hear Pam Ward and assume all other female commentators are as bad as she is. Burke is solid, certainly no worse than most of the male commentators out there. But people hear a woman calling a man's game without actually listening to what she has to say and automatically object like sheeple.

My objection doesn't relate to the fact that she is a woman but is based on the fact that most female commentators make blatantly obvious or stupid statements.

I would watch and listen to Erin Andrews call a nascar race anyday before I watch any male commentator.
If I'm watchin a sport, I already kno whats goin on....who they put on to call the game is lagniappe.

I like her too. She knows basketball, thats all I need. Dont care if its a male or female

I could not disagree with this more. I'll explain more later. But a great color guy adds depth to any event watching experience

I see people at Saints games sometimes listen to 870 on radio headphones during the game. I could never do that. My color commentator is the guy sitting next to me.

here's what you are trying to say: i go to all the saints games too.
here's what's relevant: nobody gives a shite
now back to the topic at hand. being AT a game, I wouldn't wanna listen to anything but the noises at the stadium. the only thing 870 would be useful for is updates on injuries, which, with twitter and smartphones, is becoming quickly obsolete. but when I'm at home, and there's a good commentator on, then I love to listen to hear what he or she has to say about the action. it creates an extra element to the game that just makes it more interesting.

Where do you find these things, mane???

Burke is the worst. She has a hard on for the Celtics and in top of that her comments are just dumb. "not his game" was a quote from her after Lavoy Allen missed a 12 footer. Lol it's an nba player taking a 12 foot jumper wide open. The other gem was "a shooter being hesitant is like a check swing in baseball." what?

Serious question that needs to be asked. Would you hit it?

Why do all of them have the deep man voice? I'm sure they exagerate ala Joe Buck but still. Do they think you can only do sports if you talk deep?
