    I love Bull and Bill! They make a great team and really seem to feed off each other very well. I look foward to hearing their comments every away game. Sure the motown bit got old after the 28th reference but hell, they were in Detroit! Home of MoTown!

    I think Bull is very accurate in his assesment of the refs crappy calls on the Rockets.
    If they call foul in favor of the rockets and there really wasn't one, Bull isn't afraid to say it was a bad call. He'll take it, but he calls it like it is. He points out bad calls on both ends of the floor for both teams.

    All in all, GET OFF BULLS CASE! He's great!

    Jeez I can't believe I am seeing bring back the clown Calvin Murphy posts! Heck why don't we bring back McCoy McLemore, oh wait, he's dead.....but that would still make him better than Calvin "cookies" Murphy

    Bull was Bullsh++t . I usually perfer him to Clyde.

    Half of his Motown tunes didn't fit the game situation. Many were not even recorded at Motown. He stopped "analyzing" the game to the best of his ability, (which isn't saying much) and spat out his dim witted, lam-o lines.

    I watch the game for the team. Dufus got in the way.

    I was actually trying to predict when he would say his next line of crap so that I could mute him before he started.

    Bullard's voice is too drab for me.
    Bill Worrell is the only above average one of the three.

    I absolutely LOVE the way Bill and Bullard do the broadcasts. I am shocked that some of you don't like them because they are entertaining, informative, and great fun to listen to. They add so much to the games. I never understood the obsession with Calvin. He was exciting and emotional, but most of the time, I could never understand what he was saying. Some of you should listen to the other teams; our guys are superior to most.

    I miss Calvin Murphy, you can't have great commenting from no names unless they were a great part of the franchise. I was kind of getting tired of the Motown phrases but he's a step up from Clyde's obvious commenting.

    Officiating during the Detriot game was horrible, I remember Brooks tripping over himself and they called a foul on Hamilton so I guess to rectify that one they called ghost fouls on the Rockets later. (Battier's no contact with Hamilton, you could see Battier go up and Hamilton just falls)

    I feel the same way. I do not understand how anyone could not like Bull. He is easily the best of the 3 in terms of analysis and breaking down plays, and he has a natural humor with his delivery. I love it. It's the best of both worlds.

    A couple games back Clyde was doing the game and as he was talking about the Rockets hustle he stated,"The Rockets are really putting the wood on these guys tonight"...I know this is a Bullard thread but Clyde and Bull are better than 75% of the leagues commentators...Bill in my opinion is a Top 5 commentator
