Bill: " oh my god, Cato played so hard that he was foaming out of his mouth." Calvin:" Pass the ball to Hamilton, that's right, he's the future of the Rox, there you go, another 2 for Hamilton! Hamilton never miss! now watch Hamilton block the shot, yes!! I told you Hamilton is the next Shaquille Oneal. Give him the ball, give him the ball!" Don't know about you guys, but I like Murphy with Worrel, and Walton with Hammond, they have chemistry and most others announcers are like Lisa Malosky, cassette players speaking pre-recorded game stats.
i don't understand why some ppl don't like them...they're so funny =) And every game you can hear bill talking about some cookies joe bob sent them and then calvin chowing down in the background...hehehe...
If you have ever watched another teams commentators you would know that Bill and Calvin are top 3, Vancouver is good, Minnesotta is good and thats really about it. As far as radio no one is better than Gene. I live in the Bay area and I have direcTv so I know about the Tv broadcasters, and the radio guys I sometimes listen to on RealAudio broadcasts, so trust me Houston has the best announcers when it comes to BBall. ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
"The poise, fire, and winning that Scottie Pippen has brought to this ball club, can not be underestimated." Whiteboy: OH MAN!! LOL!!! Bill Walton really does tend to get carried away with the adjectives, doesn't he? Oh man, I can give you so many examples from last season... A game featuring the Houston Rockets at Miami Heat last season brought out the best of this clown, LOL: [Scottie Pippen attempts to drive on Dan Majerle, but is denied..] "Dan Majerle, one of the greatest defenders in the history of the NBA, Scottie Pippen just DOES NOT have what it takes to get around this defensive specialist. Dan Majerle's defensive presence on the floor is always felt, even by the great Micheal Jordan. [Scottie Pippen stops, and hits a pullup three over Blue Edwards] "Scottie Pippen absolutely defying the basic laws of physic and gravity...there is just no way Blue Edwards can stop that. And who can forget the redheaded idiot's verbal spat with LJ during last year's playoffs? [Larry Johnson with the "LJ" sign] "Ohhh...that is just disgusting. Larry Johnson absolutely promoting self above team, completely demoting the team concept with that ridiculous symbol. That is just disgusting.." And just for old time's sake, let's throw in one from the day's of the great Marv Albert.. "I am joined here at courtside by my partners Matt Guokas and Ahmad Rashad, here, at the Summitt in Houston Texas, as the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks get set to do battle in this 1994, NBA Championship Series... those were the days..
Marv Albert is just a grumpy old man doing announcements of which restaurant passed hygiene inspection and which restaurant abounds in cockroaches right now lol. Learn from the great Calvin and Walton sunglass boy, then maybe you can prolong your career.
Hey, back off of Bill and Calvin. This thread went from the question of whether or not Calvin can help our gaurds, (which I think has been answered in that he can and on occassion does) to the bashing of Bill and Calvin's broadcasting skills. These guys are great, hands down. I personaly prefer thier style to the prim and pomp of some of the major broadcasts. TNT and TBS? Come on! Sometimes these guys have problems keeping our players names straight. Our guys give us a local intrest style of broadcasting. I mean who cares about broadcasting stats', I'd much rather hear about Calvins conversations with different players or Rudy and how they feel about themselves and the team and the way things are going. Simple fact though is that the major broadcaster have to be objective or should be. Bill and Calvin are 100% Rocks' and broadcast the game from that perspective.
I just had to get this off my chest I missed the Czar and Alberts connection, there is nobody out there today that can handle a telestrator like the Czar. Simply put he IS the CZAR of TELESTRATING. All hail the return of the Czar and the Czarina (Alberts) ------------------ "We need to fockass".....Dream back in the day
I'm sorry I know everyone is going to be mad, I couldn't help it. Some things never change. Okay, Jeff and Clutch, I promise not to bring back an old thread.
How are these getting brought back? I can't search. I've even got an old thread bookmarked and I can't bring it up.
Murphy wants decent money to coach! The Rockets wont pay! At least that was Calvins statement upto about 4 years ago.
