    God I'll miss them so bad.

    Gene and Jim, thanks for everything. Honestly. You can never be replaced in our hearts.

    How sweet it was, baby. How sweet it was. :(

    I am listening to them now, love how Geno is just blasting the Jazz, talking about how Sloan "coaches that stuff" and how dirty Utah are and have been over the years. He then says "he argues of course, they all do!" on all the complaints about fouls from Jazz players. :D

    Love Geno, will miss the heck out of these guys. This is truly an end of an illustrious Rockets era. These guys are as big a part of Rockets history as Olajuwon and everyone else.

    I have a request to make: when this season is over somewhat please put an appreciation package together for those guys with their best calls/memorable moments together.

    EDIT: LMAO! Ackerman was saying that Okur is married to former Ms. Turkey, and Geno says sarcastically, "He's married to a turkey?" :D

    Love Geno :D

    I am getting teary eyed. All of my memories about the Rockets are tied in with Gene and Jim's voices. Best in the business. We got two titles with them and wish them well.

    I wish they'd come back for one more run -- bring back Deke, Gene, and Jim for one more season.
