    Yes lol. My recent fave was when Murph called Bill "a hater from Decatur." x_x

    But yeah, Clyde is beyond awful. I always feel bad for Bill/Bull when he says something exceptionally stupid and you can tell they're at an utter loss for words.

    If you go to a game, watch Clyde before the game. He puts in zero effort, zero preparation.

    He will stroll in 10 min before the pregame show. Doesn't go over any notes. Completely mails it in and it shows during the broadcast.

    Bullard is always dropping interesting stats about Rockets players and opposing players. He may find that out on his own, or he may get notes from a staffer, but at least he bothers to read them.

    Clyde is just generic pap. "He's a good defender, night in and night out"

    What does that even mean?

    Even if he stays in for the night, he defends well?

    Pretty much exactly what he did as the UH coach as well.

    Why's he gotta be the color commentator? Because he's black?

    More Murphy would be great. Most of us grew up listening to him on TV, its something i miss. But, how do you tell Clyde he should step down?

    PLEASE NO more Murph!

    I was so relieved when they removed him from the courtside color commentating.
    No offense to him. He seems like a nice guy and surely knows
    basketball, but his voice is just SO annoying.

    Clyde may be a goober and say some goofy things, but his voice is not irritating.

    I'd rather listen to bagpipes for 3 hours than listen to Murph call a game.
    Halftime is enough. I can tolerate a few minutes.

    Can't be any worse than Clyde. I have grown to hate Clyde so much.

    I can't believe there are so many people that don't like Calvin as a color man. I would kill to have him back. His knowledge is top notch, and he was always extremely entertaining. I guess that bothered some of you, but I loved it.

    I really like Bullard though, I think Clyde brings him down. I would still greatly prefer Murph.

    That's actually a good idea. Murph fits better with Bill anyway.

    I mean, if you HAD to keep Clyde that is, smh.

    Calvin doesn't mince words when the going gets tough. I miss that a lot.
