    I've heard enough tonight. I love Van, but I want Bull along side Bill next season. Yes, Bullard instead of Murphy. He has a great sense of humor, is more in touch with the players of today and doesn't have to talk about himself every opportunity he gets.

    The weird thing is Worrell looks like a ventriliquists dummy next to Bull because Bullard has to sit on a stool while Worrell stands next to him.

    I really like Bull, but there's no way that they won't give it back to Murphy since he was cleared.

    No real hatred. I just don't love him as much as he loves himself.

    Why not have all three?

    The BBC - Bill, Bull, and Calvin

    I love air Bull as the color man.

    he is like that dude who was with the spurs, and is with TNT now. He is such a homer for Houston. :)

    Van is entertaining...but probably doesn't add as much as Bull and Murphy do.

    Bullard knows his stuff...but he can be a little dull at times. His excitement always seems forced...like when Richardson went up high for that alley-oop tonight, if anyone remembers.

    Calvin is entertaining, knows his stuff, and is a legend. He should be the first choice.

    I have to go against popular opinion here, and say that I cant stand Bull. Hes trying to hard out there. He sounds like a phony. Hes better suited for a job at a sports desk reading off a teleprompter.

    Murphy at least keeps things exiting, and Van's just damn funny. Really good courtside tv analysts are just hard to come by it seeems.

    Hmm, why not have a sports desk halftime show ala ESPN, TNT, ABC and such? Hagedorn hosts, Bull's the straight analysist, Van's the funny analysist. Meanwhile Bill and Calvin do the game.

    And viola! Home town names that are not only intelligent but entertaining, not to mention compitent at their jobs, get rid of Cooper for keeps. Now that's good Rocket's broadcasting!

    Great Idea! I think we should try to push that idea.

    I like Van and Murph over Bullard. No offense to Bullard, I just don't like his voice. I thought Van was really funny and I just think Murph is a very good analyst.

    I hate to say it (since it indirectly complements Steven A Smith)( but the time on ESPN has really helped Bull

    - I like his tone and pacing (his analysis is not an intense as Calvin) but I like his voice and chemistry with Bill

    ... in either case - he is better than any of the hacks they brought in this season to replace Van
