text: how do you analyze a sports game?   if you really want to be a good sports analyst, you better know how the game works first, and you better know how the strategy of the game works.  if you do, tell what you see, tell what you think will happen next, tell what you'd do if you were a coach/player in that particular situation...if you don't know what's going on or how things work, your opinion really won't mean much.
