TNT Announcers vs CBS Announcers
Barkley, Smith & Anthony are a-ok. They give good analysis, both pre-game & halftime, and are usually very accurate. Funny guys too
The CBS analysts are the opposite.

As far as in-game personalities, I wish the Tigers had Len Elmore and Reggie Miller. Far more interesting than the stumbling, bumbling Verne Lundquist. I do like Bill Raftery, but you can tell he is not into Memphis at all.

Agree on Len and Reggie.
I'd pass on both Raftery & Lundquist.
The ex-NBAers just do a better job, the anti-Vitale method.

TNT Announcers vs CBS Announcers
I like the studio crew
But I also like Bill and Verne
One of my favorite calls was vs aTm - "How's the ankle now, Verne?"

I felt bad for Dellavedova.
It was pretty funny when Sir Charles couldn't pronounce his name and then later in one of the segments he said that he wrote it down on paper and broke it up into "3 syllables", so he could say it correctly.

I thought Greg Anthony is a CBS guy. He doesn't work for TNT.

Rafferty and Lundquist sure loved them some St. Mary's. That got pretty nauseating.

They almost did a ****ing Rudy Gay when CC hit that 3.
