I agree, there are still gems like Breen as well. But the fact that more than half of your national broadcast team is dedicated to lamenting lines such as, "I hate that teams do X now," or "AD looks unengaged every other game" despite elite defense just allows casuals to parrot the soundbite. You see it all the time on r/NBA, and it's impossible to have actual discussion beyond that. This goes for "analysts" too, so it's a multi-front effort to disparage their own product.
