She started out well, I liked her, but now she is completely awful.

I actually think Doris is one of the best out there. Granted the majority out there are flat out awful, but I really don't mind when she does our games.

Also its it just me or do her and Van Gundy sound eerily similar?

Doris Burke did the first couple rounds of the BET in 2011. Good omen.

Ehh. She is just relentless. Not every play is worthy of a dissection to the nth degree, followed up by a reiteration of what the coach told you at the shootaround.. Sometimes it's just a good pass.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, but I still can't name more than 2 or 3 I'd rather have calling the game.

I'd prefer the three Providence guys, the 2 coaches and hot like fire, over Doris and they're pretty bad. K. Lawson is 1000 times better than Doris. I just cringe every time she starts blah, blah, blah, blah, blah she doesn't stop talking.

I love Lawson. I'm on the fence with Burke...It is interesting though that most people either love or hate her as an analyst.

People who have beef with this, who would you rather have? Burke is better than other analysts like Bilas and Dikich ( who is terrible).

She was actually ill prepared for the last UConn game. Kept saying a bunch of incorrect things and getting names wrong.
