    Malone and Stockton. Francis and Mobley. Kobe and Shaq. And...Bill and Calvin.

    Here's a look back at a few weird but amusing quotes from our beloved broadcasting duo:

    (All of these are from the first half of HOU@GS - Mooch's banker game- ).

    ---

    BW - And here's Walt Williams open for a three...
    CM - Come on, Walt, give it to me!
    (Wiz nails it)
    Big FELLA! That's what I'm talkin' bout! AIEEEEEEEEE!

    ---

    (Francis makes an impossible no-look pass)

    BW - Whoa! How'd Steve Francis find Taylor?!
    (Mo scores)
    Oh! Steve Francis! He must have an eyeball in his ear.
    CM - (restates) An eyeball in his ear. Been on the road too long, Bill?
    BW - Cyclops! You've seen a few of those late in the road trip, right Murph?
    CM - Whaddya mean, "right Murph?" I ain't seen no Cyclops!
    BW - Yes you have.

    ---

    (Chris Porter blocks a Kenny Thomas shot into the third row. Crowd goes nuts.)

    CM - (indignant) Why we had - That excited the crowd a little bit, didn't it? They must not see to many blocked shots. Cause it wasn't that devastating to me. Seeing how it was a shot the Rockets were shooting.

    ---

    CM - Let's go back to that telling folks I seen some Cyclops...no, nevermind. Let's go on with the game.
    BW - Please go on with the game.
    CM - Folks that know me at home, I DON'T KNOW NO CYCLOPS. Those are Bill's friends.

    ---

    BW - Larry Hughes drops it off right in the nick of time to avoid the travel.
    CM - He got eyes in his ears too, right Bill?
    BW - Yes he does.

    ---

    BW - I was proud of ol' Floyd Heard, in that last Olympics. He got in there. He's about as old as you are, Murph.
    CM - Uh, since you're about 12 years older than me, Bill please.
    BW - Oh
    CM - You knew it correctly. YOU were doing my high school games!

    ---

    BW - ...so check out the close-out sale going on now at the Rocket's Shop in MC Mall.
    CM - When do I pick up my gift?
    BW - I'll get it for you as soon as we get back.
    CM - Oh, goodness gracious. That means nothing, folks.
    BW - What do you mean!?! I just said...I...
    CM - Yeah, you said it too quick. It didn't take long...
    BW - Oh, Murph.

    ---

    BW - Steve Francis...reversal FOR TWO AND HE'S FOULED! What a shot!
    CM - What a pass!
    BW - What a rebound!
    CM - What a play! Your turn.
    BW - Awww, you topped me. You topped me.

    ---

    And my personal fave...this is just hilarious...

    Lisa Malosky from the sidelines -

    "Well, good news for the Rockets. Calvin Cato returned to the team Tuesday."

    ------------------
    "They couldn't shoot, rebound, or pass, but other than that, they played great!"

    -Bill Walton

    She had to announce it because nobody knew he was gone. [​IMG]
