    You can replace him for a corny soundboard for like $100.

    He’s amphibious Bill!

    Took a shot in the bad spot there Bill!

    We got to see a hockey game yesterday!

    Even Matt had to bite the Bullard. What a cruel season.

    When I read this the first thing I thought of was how he is always posting political things. Huge nono from a professional stand point. Right or wrong, you are going to piss off 50% of the people listening, and those people might be your boss.

    Sad to see him go.

    We didn't see eye to eye on everything (who does?) And this didn't bother me personally, but I noticed he was twisting the political knife a lot more recently. I hope that's not the reason for not renewing, as a sworn enemy of cancel culture.

    Is there any indication that this has anything to do with Fertitta? Bullard was an employee of AT&T, not the Rockets org.

    I didn't think he was a bad commentator, just very repetitive

    In due time.
    Westbrook just doesnt GAF and stays out of drama unless you bring it to his face.
    Harden likewise is not confrontational let alone he has o many ties to houston he wants to be back.


    MAybe, maybe it will be MDA's wife whose strong take no **** personality almost went to the lawyers when this dumbass owner went to the press to say MDA was considering retirement.

    Maybe it will be Morey. Whose a great interview, outspoken, and intelligent and now no longer has the people including harden or brown he was loyal to let alone the frustration of spending his talents for 3 years as tllmans gm undoing or ignoring the assets in the awaited championship window and hving to spend 90 percent of his time cost cutting in embarrassing fashion.

    My bet it will be morey who will feed the dialogue of the unraveling of the Harden/MDA/small/3ball phenomena. Can't wait till someone spills the details

    So which former Rocket would be interested in the color commentator job?

    I know people are mentioning Vernon Maxwell, but I don’t see that working.

    When I watch a game I don’t need to be told how to think politically. He went overboard this year.

    Jon Berry? Mad Max would be fun, but doesn’t have the discipline needed to announce. He would have the censors working overtime with all his cursing.

    There's no guarantee the new crew will be better.

    They could get ex players which could be hit or miss.
    They could promote Ackerman, then pair him up with 1 or 2 more new people.
    C & C

    .... or a new person that just got out of broadcasting school. If it's a young person, they're not going to have any Hakeem / or maybe even Franchise/Tmac era stories.

    Hope it's not some rando player like Ryan Hollins.

    We will definitely tank next year too. We need cheap labor to help Tillman get back on his feet. Probably trading all our big contracts for picks they don’t have to be great picks either...just the best we can get.

    I nominate Luis Scola, he can say whether everyone looks ok or not.

    Or Chase Budinger and he can say hey bud lets party to himself while I cry missing Bill & Bull
