    He was flooded out... couldn't get to the game. Many fans were in the same position. Just horrible weather in Houston last night.

    that sucks. I barely made it in time, I was sure I would be late.

    I was coming from Pearland and 288 was shut down completely- never seen that before. Had to take quite a few backroads in areas I'd never been before, it was nearly impossible to get past 610.

    Was he the one that came from Memphis along with Battier?

    I'm sure he is a great person but i am one of the few who isn't much of a fan of his style. Sounds like Chewbacca on roids to be honest. And does anyone else notice how he often fails to mention a three point basket at times? Plus, the "For three..for three..for three" echoing style doesn't bring much enthusiasm and excitement to a team that actually makes a ton of em.

    I prefer the old school PA announcer's style such as the Lakers and Knicks' or the 90's Bulls' public address announcers.

    Again, this is just me being a tad nitpicky i guess but this is the sort of announcing style i prefer to have..

    At the end of the day, i'm still glad that we don't have to listen to someone like the Miami Heat PA announcer in our home games..

    I just noticed they listed John as the most annoying PA announcer on that video when he was still with the Grizz. LOL Well, I don't think he's annoying, just not the announcing style of my preference. The 2 most annoying PA announcers right now, IMO, are the Heat and Grizzlies'.

    Definitely was missed on Saturday. His resonating voice would have left just enough vibration in the rim to knock KDs 3 out.

    That has got to be my favorite part although I don't mind not hearing it because it means they missed their shot.

    I definitely missed him Saturday and noticed it right away.

    The Heat announcer gets on my nerves.

    Eh, our guy is alright. But he seems just like a standard generic announcer. The previous announcer seemed to have more character.
