The good news for Kelenna Azubuike is that he has ditched his studio gig for a plum job as an in-game analyst for Warriors telecasts on NBC Sports Bay Area (NBCSBA).
The bad news? He might be subjected to a lot of wretched basketball for a while.
Azubuike on Sunday made his regular-season debut alongside veteran play-by-play man Bob Fitzgerald in Oklahoma City and, unfortunately, didn’t have much to work with. For the second straight game, the Warriors fell way behind from the get-go and wound up being throttled by the Thunder, 120-92.
Bay Area viewers who weren’t glued to the 49ers or Raiders had reason to be relatively hopeful going into Sunday’s game.
