Why didn't Bill go crazy and say anything excitingwhen Lin blocked the !@#$% outta Smith? All he said was "Smith missed it, Lin in the fast break....." I'm so....... Mr. D
I'm amazed nobody have a vid clip of the Harden>Morris> Asik alley-opp ESPN, NBA.com, no highlights at all for that, I jumped out of my seat for that play <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dPOL2bShY3Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 4:49 mark
He said "Smith missed it" because Smith did, in fact, just miss a freaking shot. I mean damn, it's right there on the video. Then, when he got the rebound and tried to go up again, Lin blocked him, which Worrel called a "great steal" (at normal speed from his vantage point it likely looked like Lin slapped the ball out of Smith's hand before he he could go up with it). This Jeremy Lin persecution complex sh-t is insane...
right...had you told me we would run like this and be successful, I would have told you... no this is so awesome. You can't beat us by changing your offense because you have a good to great half court defense. You have to beat us by playing our game. This reminds me of my HS team in Illinois. We had a Bobby Knight half court offense,,,like every Illinois HS team with a great coach. Not saying the Rockets have this or should, but Aurora West averaged 108pt / game in 32 minutes. My Coach did not say, lets slow them down...My Coach said...bring it...we can run a fastbreak better than them. 120 to 107 later, this is what SAS and OKC say to us. Chi and Atl apparently haven't read the memo
I like Lin a lot, and I do think there is a Worrel bent to his commentating. But also, Worrell is one of the worse commentators out of all the other commentators around the league. He says umm a lot and to me, that is someone who isn't really in the game. I think the reaction to Smith missing that shot was just Worell slow to react just like he does in other games.
It goes both ways. As for Worrell, when we're losing, he's VERY negative toward the whole team. I don't like his tone of disgust and wish he'd report without histrionics. It's not like they're trying to lose.
Yep your commentator should always be as good or better than the team. Kings suck but Grant Napear is one of the best commentators. Maybe when the Kings move we can hire him lol

I completely disagree. I have listened to a lot of other teams broadcast this year since I have watched every game on my computer except for the 2 nationally televised games and the 2 games I went to. Bill is one of the top broadcasters out there. He is getting older but I think he does a great job.
You will have to better than just say uptempo teams run with us and crush us. The games we lost were do to us not hitting outside shots. Last year we had K-Mart doing that and this year we don't have that gunslinger guy from outside. SAS and OKC are the only teams that have really hurt us this year and we have not shot the ball well each time. Hell they are just better right now than we are or will be this year and I can live with that.
Noone wants to let Lin pentrate as word is out that our boy is wicked fast and will penetrate at every opportunity.
