    This guy is really annoying. You don't have to repeat the same exact takes 82 times a year.

    Every game it's.

    1. "Player X needs to shoot more threes, threes are more efficient than 2s: - says this at least 3-4x a game.
    2. A charge gets called off on a pass - "I hate that call, I think that should be a no call, the charged player is no longer a part of the play" - says this every single time a play like that develops

    Matt, we get it.

    Bullard is so condescending. He explains things like the charge/block and the statistical importance of 3s in a really slow dumbed down voice like he is talking to a 5 year old.

    I love bill and clyde, I like craig ackerman, i dislike bullard

    Most listeners are casual fans. Keep that in mind.

    The unis suck

    Ackerman is good for radio but not stadium announcing (he is now trying to copy JPP)

    Clyde and Bullard are Rocket heroes but not great on TV

    The new Clutch isnt that funny yet

    The ticket people always try to give me only half the playoffs even though I have a right to full.

    The food is kinda gross tbh. Can we get Killen's like the Texans do?


    LES, STOP IT WITH THIS ANNOYING NONSENSE!

    The one really good thing they do sometimes is $1 beer if you get there early. Really helps the line and get a crowd to the game. Also the Power Dances are very good this year. And the Red Rowdies and the 50th anniversary profiles.

    Why wouldn't he be repetitive about those offensive fouls? They're called every game. So it stands to reason his commentary about them will remain the same. That's like saying you don't want a commentator making the same remarks about the need to box out for rebounds or run back on defense every game. Some elements of NBA basketball are never going to change, so neither will the commentary about it.

    I think there needs to be some awareness that he's talking to a core group of loyal watchers almost every game. It's not the whole viewing audience but a significant amount

    He says the exact same lines about Lou Williams every game. Feel like I'm listening to NBA 2k17 announcing tracks.

    "Hmmmm, there's already a Harden isn't clutch thread and Lou not shooting well has been discussed..."

    *throws dart - lands on Bullard's Picture*

    "I hate Matt Bullard's talking points !"

    He's not a radio talk show host who needs to diversify his topics of conversation every day. He's there to talk about basketball. Certainly the comments should vary based on the opponent and the flow of the game. But the NBA is the NBA. There are only so many different ways to talk about it. Now if he calls every 3-pointer "cold blooded" like Bill Worrell does, then I could understand the complaint.

    I don't enjoy Craig Ackerman too

    he is better on the radio than on live TV

    Ackerman is awesome. His references are on point. I loved it when he called Beverley stepping out of bounds in the corner a "Delfino moment".

    You don't get this type of stuff from Worrell
