mostly on Craig, he gets very defensive for some reason. Kind of like "i've been in the rockets organization this long who are you"
They do? I didn't notice. They seem pretty friendly towards each other to me. Craig does a lot of correcting but I don't think its out of bickering, I just think its a personality flaw. Ryan is younger than him so he probably is more relaxed with his tone than someone like Bill. I am sure Ryan has enough money and isn't in this position out of desperation. If he doesn't care then I am sure its fine.
The days (weekends) when Ackerman fills in and tries to do Astros games are the Astros games when you switch over to the radio. He's unlistenable, and belongs in the pre/post game booth. I haven't listened to the Local Rockets enough this year to have an opinion yet.
I think it is because of prospective, cultural, spiritual, experience, age, maturity, mentally, health or even social status differences. The similarities between these two are Rocket basketball, a common language and heterosexuality. They are friendly with each other and maybe even have a friendship, but they are very different people.
These 2 don't have and never had, chemistry. I'm sure they are work friendly, but they clearly aren't friends and it shows. Every damn conversation feels awkward. I think Ackerman is actually a very good PBP guy, but any time they veer away from that, in any way, it gets rough.
I shouldn’t reply to myself but they don’t have Rocket basketball even. One is a Californian and the other is a local. A lot of the basketball references are lost in personal perspective.
They are the best in the business. Love watching Rockets games and listening to their banter. We are very fortunate to have this broadcasting team of Craig, Ryan, and Vanessa. They are fantastic and much much better than all other bradcasts I watch on NBA ticket!
On a side note….is anyone else bothered watching the broadcasts by the guy in the Rocket Rowdies who keeps screaming every freaking defensive possession right into the microphone “LETS GO ROCKETS” or just screaming in general. It is just one loser, but it is making the games almost unwatchable as I have a headache by the end of the telecast. I imagine the fans by this dude can’t be happy either as he is screaming literally the whole game.
