    I love Clyde, but for the love of God, keep him away from a camera and a microphone. Alexander should do us all a favor if he feels the need to be around Clyde's insufferable sucking up. Promote him to VP in charge of "Damn, anything!!" Just make it off-camera. Bill will add decades to his life span, Mr. Alexander, if you do. We'd all love to have Bill do play-by-play for another century, please. Thanks in advance.

    If they dump Clyde, who are we going to laugh at?

    I like bill, bull's alright for a replacement commentator for sure and clyde isn't too bad although i will admit he got on my nerves a couples times. I would say he gets way too much hate around here.

    Sometimes I find myself wishing a baby seal would sneak up and club Clyde.

    Calvin is the much better entertainer and he can keep a bad game and/or bad season on the fun side. He and Bill make for a pretty good team. They will make me LOL even when I don't want to. That's talent. What it isn't is particularly insightful. But, it is not like you are get any insight at all from Clyde.

    Vote for Calvin. Dude can twirl a mean baton.

    The moment I truly realized how bad Clyde is was when I found myself hoping for the opposing team's announcers on League Pass during some of our home games. He's that f-ing terrible.

    Spot on and exactly how I feel about them. I hope it's going to be Calvin & Worrell or maybe a whole new team soon. Don Chaney would be nice but I don't think he wants to.

    Clyde is ignorant and he thinks he's entitled to bumble his way through games and doesn't work on his craft. He's an embarrasment. "I know how To speak Spanish....taco"

    Bill's good but I do get tired of his homerism. He dwells on bad calls to the detriment of the broadcast. He also sounds depressed. He's probably Just frustrated with having to commentate with Clyde.

    Bull's the definition of average.

    Basically, we have the worst Broadcast team in the NBA

    this sums it up...

    sidenote: Last season Bull lost his voice but still came to work. He was wonderful the best I have ever heard him. I thought he was RudyT. He just talked when he needed to without all the sillyness and only added really good well thought out points. (I think Bull trys to hard to cover for an aging Bill AND just bad, hard to watch, basketball making himself look bad.)

    Bill, Calvin, and Bull
    or
    Calvin and Bull with a new play by play person (sorry Bill is not what he used to be)

    you all suck! I love Clyde and his occasional nonsense :( And is Calvin really comming back? It'd be cool to have Bill and Calvin at home and Bill, Clyde and Bull on the road :D That would make for the best broadcast team in the NBA by far.

    My Dad who doesn't know a whole lot of American sports but catches the occasional game hates them for some reason.

    Me, I'm cool with them, but I barely listen being more focused on the game. That being said, the guy that does the radio broadcast has much more passion.

    Bill
    [+] Been around for some time.
    [-] Homer, not the sharpest, when it comes to other teams and players

    Bullard
    [+] Umm...
    [-] Whines, overexaggerates his impact back in the day, overall pretty bad.

    Clyde
    [+] Unintentionally funny, at times
    [-] Doesn't provide any valuable insight otherwise

    are you people on homer crack?

    Bill Worrell is UTTERLY HORRID!!!!!

    I dont know wtf happened to this guy but as soon as calvin murphy left bill worrell has become a shameless, pathetic, & downright embarrassing HOMER.

    Every call against the rockets worrell disagrees with even those that are plain to see against the rockets. Every game analysis done by worrell is full of home town bias & prejudice. His calls, his observations, his analysis is always slanted for the hometown. I get that he's suppose to be on the rockets side because he works for them but come on, how about a little professional objectivity?

    What's worse is, why da hell is he analyzing the game? he is a play by play guy. Not the color commentary. I know why this happened is because calvin is no longer there. Calvin was part of his check & balances. Ever since calvin left, no one has been there to check worrell & his cringe worthy homer calls & even lamer jokes with matt bullard.

    Any of you who thinks worrell is great is on crack or is just too blind to see that worrell has lost all sense of balance & objectivity as soon as calvin left.

    & dont get me started on matt bullard. There's a reason why he lost espn dream job.

    Because he utterly sucks.

    Clyde is ok but a bit of a dull, timid, square personality.

    That's the honest truth about the rockets broadcasting team.

    That's too bad, if you don't like them, go listen to the Radio and turn the TV broadcast volume off.
