Talking You won't hear this from a basketball announcer
Watching a Penguins - Caps playoff game and the announcer said, "The Penguin defensemen are pinching intelligently today." I know what it means, but it just sounded funny.

BTW - hockey is great. I think we should allow checking in basketball.

Didn't they call a blocked shot a checked shot in the old days? So there is checking.

things you won't hear from a HOCKEY announcer....
"Kobe was clearly dribbling when the defender put his hands on him."

"When Lebron goes right to the hole, he'll hit it every time."
