Yeah I know, it's not really fair to have the Portland commentators and pretty much show all of the blazer replays only. I remember last year and in years past they had their own commentators doing the playoff games on NBA TV...no idea sure why they didn't do it this time.
Well, being in Houston, I'm glad I didn't have to put up with the Portland announcers for last night's game, but I can only imagine how bad it must have been. With Doris "manly monotone" Burke calling game 1, and with our second game on NBATV, we'll finally get some decent national coverage for once.
ESPN should sign Mutumbo through the playoffs and let him call the games with Van Gundy. He'd be great, and in just a little bit, Deke will be unavailable because he'll be going all over the world making lives better.
lol, time for Blazers' fans to get pissed for a change. Last night's M&M commentary is a murder to my ears.
No thanks, as great person as Mutumbo is, I don't wanna spend half of the night trying to guess WTH is he talking about.
I had to mute last nights game after about 20 seconds. So glad JVG is on Friday, and I hope Jackson is on too. I hate Jackson but they are always bickering and with playoff intensity, who knows, they might get into fisticuffs on air. I know JVG is down, but Jackson will probly punk out, citing "unprofessionalism" as an excuse.
It is gonna be GREAT. When the game is broadcast by TNT or ESPN it is just more fun to watch. And with JVG back in YC it is gonna be really exciting.
Right...and the whole team will huddle around a TV to listen to the adjustments that he wants to make.
JVG: That is a flopping, clearly, what a flopper! NBA needs punish the flopper, seriously. Artest needs pass the ball to Yao, he is 7 and 6, can shoot the ball at a high percentage, come on, pass the ball. I will bench Artest right now, right now If I am still a coach in the rockets, I mean, seriously.
Thats great to hear...I thought BSPN would banish him from Rockets games due to his homerism still towards them...I can't wait to hear him go off when przybilla flops 5 feet away from Yao...I wonder who else is going to be there..it won't be Tirico since he only does games on ABC...So it's most likely Mark Jackson... or Jon Barry
