Home team play by play and color commentators are usually the worst to listen to unless they get their paychecks from your team. The majority of announcers have a home team bias that even the truth won't change their mind on an obvious call. For San Antonio Spurs fans, Sean Elliott isn't immune to this. Alongside Bill Land, these two men are very popular among Spurs fans who listen in to the games on Fox Sports Southwest.

Last week, Elliott was mentioned by NBA.com writer John Schuhmann's article "Air Check" last week which was dedicated to announcers from various teams for some funny, weird, and head shaking moments. Elliott's play-by-play during the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder made it to the list in the latter category. He criticizes Elliott for "not changing his stripes" during the game that aired on NBA TV.

For starters, the national games that involve spurs, never do they ever give the city or the spurs much credit so its refreshing to have bill & sean doing the spurs games. they make the games enjoyable and fun. so cudos to them and hpoe they do many more games together. they keep it real and funny, and do give credit when due to both teams. Go Spurs Go!

I LOVE Bill and Sean! If I could, I'd be sitting right there with them. They make the games even more fun. They play both sides of the fence calling out the Spurs when they screw up and giving compliments to the other team when they deserve it. The games are not as much fun when Bill and Sean are not the announcers. GO Bill!!!!!!! Go Sean!!!!!!! GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
