I've got NBA League Pass at my home, so I was able to watch the Phoenix Suns play the Rockets.  First off, the sound was aweful and each shoe screach and whistle blow sounded like ####.  But the ANNOUNCERS!!! ... You know how you feel after the most annoying commercial just keeps coming on and you want to pull your hair out?  That's how the Houston Rockets'  TV announcers were making me feel.  They cry for Yao every play, complaining about how he never gets the calls.  But then at the end where the Suns were up 10 with 2 minutes left...one of them said that he really had a problem with the Suns keeping their starters out on the floor because 1) maybe one of our star players would get hurt during a pointless time of the game, and 2) because maybe we were running up the score.  They all started to agree about how bad of a call it was.

Ten points is a 4 possession ball game!  What are they talking about??  So Houston can keep its best players in to play their guts out and try to catch up, but the Suns have to take their starters out of the game because it "looks" like they might win?  The one thing that I hate about NBA League Pass, even though I'm a huge NBA fan and love watching pro basketball, is that I always have to tolerate the bias of the home team's announcers.  But Houston's were just aweful.  Instead of talking about the officiating throughout the entire game and complaining about the opponents' decisions (as long if it's not intentional injury), they should just let the fans enjoy the thrill of the game and announce the play by play.  Be a little bit more traditional.
