    I keep hoping the Rockets get off their high horse, and realize that their "replacement" decisions ARE a problem, and are much more problematic than Murphy's "past".

    They did finally wise up on T-Grey as a PA announcer (I think everybody aknowledged he was AWFUL from day one, except for members of the Rockets organization).

    There might be hope... but I still know first-hand that the powers that be don't want Calvin because of his personal life decisions (and that's really stupid).

    I would rather see Mario on the bench, but that's another thread...

    Cut the guy some slack for trying, like this one during the Chicago game:
    After the third or fourth block by Yao, he said,
    "Curry just can't get IT up against Yao."
    Then followed by a few dry chuckles.

    I think he should stick with his BBQ business.

    I would love to have Calvin back as he and Bill had some chemistry as it looked like it they were having a good time even if we were down by 20 in the 4th.

    Clyde just has no clue as what to say, so he echoes Bill. I thought that having him diagram plays on the telestrator would loosen him up, but he doesn't get too many chances to do that. But Clyde is definitely better than the disaster that was Isiah Thomas on color.

    Clyde is just horrible. If they're not going to bring back Murph then give Mario Elie the job. Mario knows his stuff.

    Especially after a shot bounces or rolls around for 10 seconds.

    I can't even imagine why he wants the job. He is causing untold suffering to millions of Rockets fans.

    AAAHH...the good ole days


    We could be down by 29points and you could still somewhat enjoy the experience because Calvin and Bill were nuts together. They had such great chemistry and the "It" factor.

    We need to start another petition or something

    what i really miss is how calvin is really into the game
    he would get really angry if there was a bad call or how he cheers on the players when they do a good play.

    the tone and speed of voice changes. unlike RoboClyde and BullBot.
