While I'm not one that gets on the "the media hates us" bandwagon, this is good because they're simply the best team calling games.

Plus, this should lead to less whining and b****ing from many of you about the broadcasters.

Van Gundy + Mark Jackson! Mark Jackson has to commentate his team while some puppet coaches.

Great, didn't expect them to be this good but they were very solid last night. Mark Jackson talks a lot less than before and JVG luckily didn't rant so much. Doris Burke is annoying, but couldn't care less for sideline reporters.

Thank God. If JVG is ripping the Rockets then they will probably deserve it. I'm not a MJax fan at all, but his counter to JVG is greatness.

Doris Burke too is one of the more underrated ESPN folks. I wish she'd get more color analyst gigs instead of sideline reporting. Seriously.... she's better than that, and why Jon Barry gets gigs over her is beyond me.

Having the former coaches of the two teams in the WCF calling the games?

That's got to be some sort of first.

We went from Reggie Miller and Jon Barry to JVG (Rox homer) and MJax (Dubs hater)

Excellent

Now the world will know how we feel when we hear Jon Barry speak on TV.

I still remember when JVG said the Rockets even without Yao could win a championship if they beat LA in 2009. I have no idea why he loves Houston so much, we fired him. Either way, Love the guy!

Anyone else hear Jeff Van Gundy say "it's over" and Clippers have "no chance" in coming back around the 9 min mark of the 4th quarter? Great stuff haha

This good. I hate listening to guys who don't really know about the Rockets. Van Gundy is the only guy I've hear bring up the fact we're missing DMo.

I'm not saying he wasn't fair, I don't even think Hubie is too unfair (except for the one game he wouldn't get of Barea's dick) but together they where just boring and awful to listen to IMO.
