Living in Vegas doesn't afford me the opportunity to hear the Rockets' broadcast crew very often (I have to utilize League Pass)...but lately, it seems that Clyde has really started showing his true talent. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Bill Worrell should back off and let Clyde take his five minute stand up act to the masses every time that Dikembe gets a foul. The show that Clyde puts on after Deke commits a foul and has the "There is no possible way in hell that any living organism should have called me for a foul" look is flat out hilarious. The wife and I are rolling with Clyde's impersonation of Deke. But for some crazy reason, Clyde always sticks in a "MON" at the end of his ribbing at Deke. Hey Clyde, Dikembe is not from Jamaica. Great stuff...I'm really starting to warm up to Clyde. I think he is feeling a lot more comfortable in his role now. Especially if he keeps mimicking Dikembe after called fouls!
Last season Clyde was worse than stale bread!...but I have to admit he has improved tremendously this year.... but he's not no Calvin Murphy!.....BRING BACK CALVIN!
Clyde has gotten better, but Calvin was awesome. I remember when Steve and Cuttino ran a back door play and Bill commented on it. Calvin couldn't stop laughing as he took it Steve+Cuttino=back door/Lovers. Anyways, I miss that guy, I wonder what he's been up to.

i watch every single game and i have no idea where you guys hear this improvement. he's still as terrible as he was from day one last season.
He's terrible. I don't see much improvement for him over last year. The big difference is we're winning home games this season, while last year we weren't. Drexler's inane commentary is easier to handle when you're not already in a foul mood because of the way the team is playing.
I don't think he's terrible but you do have a valid point that his commentary is easier to handle when we're winning!... heck everything is better when we're winning!
Clyde's commentary is a little over the top but his Deke is pretty good. I much prefer him to the stutter-box that is Matt Bullard.
you gotta love Clyde he is different then others, he does know a lot about basketball, but he has a hard way to express it....Clyde is not the usual professional broadcaster, but he does the job...entertain!
Man, last game was a ball Yet something did not seem right. You just couldn't feel the excitement from the broadcast team. Bill did OK, but the comments that follow by CLyde do not suport what Bill says. They have no chemistry (good thing the Rockets do ). Even an ubiased national tandem like Harlan and Doug boring Collins would do better Calvin was the best. Clyde is a cliche box. When you're a color commentator you have to analyze well and be somewhat entertaining. Doug Collins is not entertaining, but he's informative. Clyde is neither. Jon Barry is both. Calvin is both and some more
If history tells us anything, Calvin is probably setting up family franchises as fast as he can build them.
I don't think there is any improvement. I believe people are just getting use to it and have accepted it.
without the Deke impersonations he is one of the worst out there...with the impressions hes just mediocre
Clyde....oh man, i guess he's gotten a little smoother. But he still says so many stupid things. Rockets playing good defense.... Bill: "Nice defensive stand by the Rockets there." Clyde: "You know what they call that? Good defense."
