    Matt doesn't fit the culture.

    I don’t recall him ever saying anything too political-leaning or controversial but it was pretty clear what he identified as politically. His Twitter feed is way more obvious lol.

    It was pretty obvious that he was very supportive of the social justice/reform and took every chance to expand on those conversations even if the original conversation had little to do with social justice.

    Like if player X scored, sometimes Bull would just go on about how this player is “leading social justice reform.” To me, it just made some of the commentary a little awkward because, in the majority of the time, it felt like Bill or Craig wanted to continue talking about the game but then had to pivot to add into the conversation or let Bull finish before resuming play by play.

    Again none of it should have mattered, but I can see how it might have turned some people away, even those that support social justice 100% but is already overly saturated with the it 24/7 and just want to watch basketball.

    What the ****? I mean honestly I thought bull was boring, but I feel bad for him. He didn’t deserve to get tilman’ed.

    He likes getting paid with actual money.

    TF will bring in someone who will take instalments based on bonds

    After this season it’s not our knees jerking, it’s our heads twitching.

    Maybe we'll see more and more short term 'DeMarcus Cousins' like contracts with broadcasters and analysts as well.

    I hope he is back at some point in the future as he is only 53 yo. Wish him well.

    I bet Bull feels terrible and hurt about this.

    Then a day passes and he realises how good of a situation it is not being associated with this joke of a franchise anymore.

    At first I think that's ridiculous.

    But then I remember there's people on this forum who think any negative comment about LeBron James MUST be because he's black.

    So I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that theory is correct.

    Bullard was cool. This is just weird.

    Here comes Matt Thomas from the AAA radio squad.

    Can they please remove Matt Thomas from being the PA announcer and give him something else? He’s way worse at what he does than Bill going senile or corny Bull ever were.
