Fitzgerald has done nothing but make excuses for complacency in the Warriors organization for a number of years. Now, with the team riding high, he comes across as an irritating, pompous blowhard who feels entitled to the team's success.
Fitzgerald doesn't represent myself as a Warriors fan. I understand there are two sides to a basketball game, yet Fitzgerald's inability to remain impartial hinders the viewing experience. Constantly berating officials, not giving the opposing team credit when they do have some sort of success against the Warriors (writing it off as luck or uncanny as if the Warriors aren't allowed to face adversity at all), and overall lack of professionalism demand the Warriors organization make a change.
For over 20 years, fans have had to put up with Fitzgerald's nonsense. We begged and pleaded for the organization to keep beloved color commentator Jim Barnett and they responded by renewing Barnett's contract. The Warriors should respond to fans requests for numerous years now that Fitzgerald no longer represent Golden State, thus finding a new voice to represent the team.
The Golden State Warriors deserve better when it comes to play-by-play broadcasting. Fitzgerald's complacency and homer-like broadcast call do not represent the standard Warriors fans expect and deserve.

I hate watching the game when he’s commentating! Warriors can be up by twenty or down by one and he praises the opposing team, and criticizes the Warriors. “Like the Warriors have the lead somehow”
I will not renew my season tickets if this clown is still broadcasting for the Warriors.
You could add that he is a nonstop motor mouth often failing to observe the play. His incessant Tongue wagging causes us to watch games with sound turned off.
He is the worst announcer in the business. If when the Warriors are down, he constantly complained and whine about Steph or Clay shooting. It's a 82 game season and then on to the playoffs. I wonder if he ever know anything about the Game of Basketball, on any given night you might shoot goose eggs, but the next night they may hit grand slams. Let's go ahead and promote Roz so we could truly have a home team advantage.
Even David Stern called him a homer when he sat in on their broadcast for a couple minutes a couple years ago.
Worst ever — die hard warriors fan — I mute games because it’s so bad
They are horrible
