    I would much rather the producers erase Bullard and Clyde all together. They put me to sleep. I also think I'm the only one here who thinks Calvin's voice is annoying as hell.

    Bill's cool as lusual. He sounds like some guy from an old vintage video of an NBA game from the 70's or something.

    Of course Murph was the best. Out of Clyde and Bull, I go with Bull. Maybe because I actually like his homerism.

    Did anybody else grow to like Van Chancellor a lot before he left? He made me laugh...

    Yes! Bring back Van Chancellor! You can at least play a drinking game when he commentates. "High Post Screen" and "3-Ball" are the drinking phrases.

    This is the reason why I'd refer Bull, as stupid as he is sometimes...

    Van Chancellor!

    It was excruciating to listen to him at first, with that drawl, but he really grew on me. Very knowledgeable of the game. More-so than Bill, Bull, or Calvin.

    drexler hands down for me. bill is homer enough for me drexler at least gives me chuckles when watching the games


    also the bulls eye at least to me is so dang long takes like 3 minutes to explain a 10 second play that is pretty obvious. bull is a great guy but his homerism along with forced jokes cause too much of the same thing in the broadcast. bill probably prefers Bull himself compared to clyde though.


    never really got a chance to listen to calvin out here first year i was able to get league pass/watch games online regularly was the van chancellor year.


    also i wouldnt mind van chancellor back either.

    If it has to be one of the 2, I'd say Clyde cuz he can at least make me lol, but not Bullard.

    the lesser of 2 evils would be Bullard but hes not more knowledgable he just conveys it better than Clyde, which isnt saying alot

    ...seriously, who makes the decision as to who commentates those games? I like Bull and Clyde and they are good for the organization, but as commentators they are really really bad....I would argue that at least 75% of the league has better commentators judging by NBA league pass. I think we deserve better.

    I'm not a huge Worrell fan, but he can stay because he seems about par for the course for the recap/play by play guy...but the Bull/Clyde part is really awkward like Clyde Frazier in New York - that's New York as in one of the the worst run franchises in the NBA, New York who's commentating is on par or maybe even better than ours. Just saying...

    i agree about bull and clyde, but worrell is huge for us. fans all around the NBA admire his commentating. though they might not know his name, i guarantee "errbody" knows the voice of the houston.

    I'm just about done with both. Bring back Calvin or go find someone new. There was a time I used to think that Bullard was better, but sometimes I'd rather listen to Drexler since its easier to tune out his ridiculous comments like as background noise.
