The Jazz need new commentary duo

Handlogten's Heros said:
As far as the overall theme... Look they got rid of Steve Brown and gave us the pretty attractive, but not so attractive that my wife hates her, sideline reporter.

Announcers are generally annoying and cheesy... it's just how they are wired. Bolerisms drive me crazy, but I am now enjoying the calls he has no clue on, the clear two pointers he thinks are threes, etc.

He's no Hot Rod... no one will ever replace that guy... but I'm not going to kill him because of that.

Just glad there is no Steve Brown.

Locke would actually be pretty good if he spent the next 10 years smoking 2 packs a day. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard wheN he gets excited.

My number one option is that the Jazz hire IBM's Watson to resurrect the voice of Hot Rod.
 
I agree, it is getting a bit 'stale'. A third more 'energetic' commentator like the one DAL has, or a third woman commentator like the one CHA has could do the trick.



I just think Matt Harpring needs to step up his game. If you're not going to be loud & exciting, at least be a more technical and knowledgable in terms of the different plays, how plays develop, etc.



As an example, the LAC's commentator, although he's not the most exciting, he has a lot of knowledge about what goes on around the league with different teams, and I learn quite a bit each time I listen to him commentate.
 
I'm not sure if people are referring to radio or tv/videostream...If it is tv/videostream them I don't mind Harpring and Boler. I'm a bit less enthusiastic about Boler and Boone.. But in the end I don't really care because I am watching the game. I'm not sure why so many need to rely on the commentary for play insights (unless they are talking about radio, don't watch the game, or are blind)...

I also know I can't stand listening to other commentators because every one has a slight bias towards their own team.

It is not about relying on their insights to follow the game, it's enjoying the excitement of the moment that is reflected in the perfect mood by the commentator. I find this one of the most important things that affect the excitement you take out of a televised game.

The Jazz are achieving good things and hopefully are on the edge of achieving greater things right now, gotta have that reflected with excitement on the mic.

I post, therefore I am.

I think they're usually really good at home, I assume they feed off the crowd a bit.
 
I think Harpring overcompensates trying not to be a homer. To the point that he should be doing commentary for the other team. Show some ****ing pride in a team and organization that MADE your damn career.

Boler is a guy I loved but he has lost energy, fire and motivation to reflect the game's amazing sequences. Harpring already does not have it. I think the Jazz need another pair of commentary.


(Created a new thread since I thought the other one is irrelevant.)

Bolerjack has gotten so bad that I've listened to the last few games on mute off and on. How can someone continuously come up with the kind of crap that guy does?

"Windmill dunk". Uhh, no Craig, that is a dunk.
"Hit an easy one". Uhh, no Craig, that was a contested three from nearly 40 feet.
"Exum on a give and go". Uhh, no Craig, Exum never passed the ball.

The Washington game was so full of stupid that I'm surprised this guy still has a job after that game alone. I hope he had extreme jet lag and was hung over.

I love coming across your posts so much man. Just in the moment that I feel like I am the only one who thinks in a certain way about a certain topic and feel like a weird person, I read one of your posts and feel relieved. Good to have you around my man and God this Magic Keyboard feels fantastic!
