    Glad he is back as well.

    Ah bring on the chocolate chip cookies!

    Now if we can only get Bull and Clyde out of here and get Calvin back with Bill where he belongs.

    It's almost like he's getting out of prison or something. This man's talents has been wasted for years for no good reason but he's finally back... one of the few people whose basketball opinions I care about.

    great news

    Clyde got to the point for me, where he was killing the enjoyment of watching the Rockets last season. Im kinda tired of Bull too

    CALVIN MURPHY son told me today, that he is going to be announcing for the Rockets for sure. His son goes to the High School I went to.

    It is about time we get someone with energy in his voice and someone who bleeds true Rockets color. I hope he is elevated to voicing the game instead of voicing his critique of the game. Thanks Rockets!!!!

    Probably to get him warmed up and readjusted to the job, then it's bye bye Clyde, sorry bro...go club some baby seals, it's a lot easier than commentating apparently.

    I hope people here aren't hyping Murphy up from nostalgia. From what I read in this thread he's at least better than Clyde.

    Again, he isn't employed by the Rockets like Clyde so this is not likely to become that anytime soon.

    Worrell did say the guy was eased back in and eventually would do commentary with him again, at least that's how I read that story by the guy on here who met with Bill. Maybe they are trying the 3 man crew at home so next year Bullard won't have to go on the road which is where Calvin comes in. Or they are seeing if a 3 man crew works so that in the future it can become Calvin, Drexler & Worrell with Bullard just at away games.
