    I mean I don't even recall Clyde stepping down or retiring from being a commentator, he kind of just stopped and nobody said anything, was there an official story on this that I missed?

    Wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of fall out, IIRC the vibe with Clyde was a little bit rocky, I think he was a dick head

    @Nook seems to know about random things at random times, anything on what happened with Clyde? Was he a dick head?

    I learned tonight that I graduated from the same high school as Bill, that's pretty neat.

    I mean the school was still racially segregated when he went there, but still

    John Wall, chill. We get it.

    You've got to spam nonsense so people stop thinking of you as those things.

    Just shut up.

    There's a lot of guys I enjoy drinking beers with who should not be calling basketball games.

    Then don't. (That's my hope to everyone's Silas approach.)

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that Gene Peterson? Either way you're right, this was sweet. And sad. Sad but sweet.

    You're totally correct. I didn't say it for Bill though. He is a legend, and it's the end of an era, for sure. I started saying it back in January (I think when we beat Memphis after the trade). I have only been able to say it a few times since then (cuz, you know). I say it because I listen to every game on the radio, and want to honor Gene Peterson with a celebratory post. So, I am going to say it after every win.

    That would be awful. I loved Clyde on the court, that's the only place he belonged.

    Glad to see us win one for Bill against the Clippers with only 2 players who were there at the start of this year and they're both rookies. We at least kept the Clippers from overtaking the Nuggets for the 3rd seed.

    He's not any worse than Worrell... I hope Ackerman takes his spot. He only does away games right now, right? He should do both. He's way better than Bill.

    Eeeeew, I sure hope not. He sounds like he talks with clothes pins on his nose. That whiney timbre of his voice is so unpleasant to my ears. He makes me want to mute the sound.

    My friend sometimes golfs with Drexler and he no longer works as a broadcaster. He just says Tillman is harsh. I assume that means he got fired.

    That hits too close to home my man. I got the chronic illnesses illustrated in this infrared. Diabetes and the chronic indigestion gas issues from the heart failure, hypertension and diabetes meds contribute to this problem.
