Another Negative Nancy thread. GIVE IT A REST! Some of are not happy unless you're complaining about something.
Complaining about me complaining. Cool. Forgive me for wanting high quality announcers for our Rockets games which I spend hundreds of hours listening to every year. P.S. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/music-at-home-games-and-game-start-time.286354/ Don't throw stones in a glass house bro.
Fact is that it's been downhill every since Calvin was removed. Bill and Bull are super repetitive cornballs. Clyde is clueless. Van was decent but his voice was awful.
i miss calvin and van chancellor -- true color commentators. i don't mind bullard, but his corny jokes are a waste of air time. he needs to stick to more stuff like play analysis. i also don't mind ackerman and actually like his enthusiasm, you can tell he's a real rockets fan. the home crew is where i have problems. clyde is one of my all-time fav players but he's one of the worst commentators in the league. and worrell obviously used to be great but he's just too old now and his neverending mistakes are annoying AF when you're trying to follow a game.
yeah i think one of the real differences as well is in calling a game vs just commenting from the side. worrell makes a lot of mistakes confusing players and not being able to figure out what refs' calls are (bull and clyde typically have to correct him on these). similarly, marv albert is just not alert enough to accurately call a game anymore either now.
I would rather have Bull's corny than the bashing of players that other teams' broadcasters and national broadcasters use. Corny makes you laugh and smile, bashing pisses you off. I would rather laugh and smile/smirk.
Hell no I look forward when they are in the road to hear Craig and Bull. Better than bill worrell saying ooooo james harden with a cold blooded shot and it's real eric Gordon
Craig tries to hard to be witty or have cool phrases. Overall I can tolerate him on mute. Bull is okay, he just regurgitates too much lingo.
personally I love bull, hes very basketball smart, and like his style....as for Craig, love the dude, what hes been through and the adversity hes seen. Top notch people.
