You guys still want Jon Barry to be our color commentator next year?

    I only watched one of our last few games of the season when Barry was teaming up with Bill/Matt/Clyde. It wasn't anything outstanding as I hoped. However, since I didn't watch all that much, I can't tell if he's any good.

    I remember there was a far cry about replacing Matt/Clyde with JB right after JB retired. Now, after a few games of actually listening to him, do you still want this to happen?

    I think he's done a decent job. It's a situation that takes some time to get comfortable. He did much better than Clyde did his first few games, that's for sure.

    Clyde and Barry need to take up recreational golfing full-time and hire Cooper
    as their caddy just in case.

    Exactly, I don't think any combination they come up with would be as good as Murphy/Worrell.

    How about Clyde coaches home games, Bull coaches road games, and JVG does the color commentary? :D

    No, I want to bring him back as an assistant coach!

    Unfortunately, he seems to have his heart set on broadcasting for now ... :(

    I want him back as a player man... the dude did so many things for us last year... I hope we get him back for next year and he can play a good 10 mins off the bench..

    I'd like to see Bill and Murph, with Jon as "the third guy," working halftime shows, doing interviews, providing the occasional input during the games. That'd be my preference. Clyde should do PR work and perhaps front office duties, if he wants to stay with the team. I love that he's closely associated with the Rocks, and hope it continues.

    Nothing can compare to Bill and Murph ... They made watching Rockets games so much more enjoyable

    jb was a lot more comfortable by the spurs game and think he would be even better if he wasn't the third wheel.

    It's been about a year or so now?

    Maybe people forgot about the whole Calvin Murphy thing.

    Les, rehire the man.

    Worst case scenario...

    Jon Barry>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Clyde Drexler

    If Clyde returns, I might do something bad to myself. Heaven and hell forbid!
