Petition to have Matt Harpring canned

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Mike Smith. And he's been good.

Hes been trash. He said Korver's nickname should be "Scientist of 3s".

Bowlers "The Dunkster" for Hayward was a better nickname than that.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Mike Smith is just Vanilla Matt Harpring without the basketball credibility

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Those are my main gripes. He never shuts the **** up and I'm not sure he really knows his stuff.

Matt Harpring would beat his ***

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Only thing good Harpring came up with was Jazz nation and Swat lake City.

Matt Harpring invented fry sauce

I haven't decided... I'm leaning towards not a big fan. I don't want a total homer, but I want one of "our guys". He seems to know his ****... although he said something weird after Korver hit the three and got fouled... said it was more difficult cuz he's right handed floating right... and that most right handers prefer to float left... it is really not true at all and was weird.

Its true.

Going left as a right hander (to shoot) is much easier.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The only people who think going to your strong side to shoot is easier are people who have 0 footwork.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Its true.

K... well in my experience fading or floating toward my dominant hand is much more natural and gives added space... which is the purpose for floating/fading in the first place.

At very worst they are equal... much easier... nonsense.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Smith also wanted to yamer on about hs players that played a 100 years ago that I care nothing about... mentioning them is fine, but he went on for a while.

No, you are completely wrong on this. Its not an opinion thing at all. Anyone who has actually played and been coached properly could tell you this.

K... if we ever play I will show ya what I'm talking about.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Going to your weak hand you can fadeaway and have your shoulders be aligned properly without much additional motion needed. You also have access to a much easier step back shot.

Going to your string side you have to fade and do a lot of work to rotate your shoulders for proper alignment.

I don't mind the new dude but he's pretty bland as far as charisma. Harpring may be a complete goof and sometimes leaves me shaking my head but I kind of like that for some reason. Maybe it's his history here.

Mike Smith doesn’t deserve to have his name remembered, so I’ll just refer to him as new dumbass guy.

Any non-believers in Gobert can eat a bag of dicks. Time to fire new dumbass guy.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Is it impossible to find good likeable announcers. Seems like 75% are annoying. I’m prolly listening to the game on mute from now on.

 

[LogGrad98]

That's what I'm saying... he doesn't seem like our guy... I don't need a full homer, but I want to feel like the broadcasters are rooting for us... the emotion and connection isn't there.

Just run old replays of hot rod-isms over the game no analysis... just someone pushing a button and hearing "gentle push and a mild arc and the old cowhide globe hits home" and "you gotta love it baby".

Don't forget the belt-high dribble.

I thought that was Al Gore.

I miss that drunk bastard so much.

We really did not know how good we had it. One of the few instances of our perceptions of "the good old days" being spot on. Amiright, @One Brow ?

Even drunk he knew more about the game and could call it better than just about any other announcers. I loved how he never pulled any punches, calling out stupid plays when they happened but still unabashedly being the top jazz fan. Boler always makes me think he's punching his time card and thinking about football the whole time. Definitely not a fan, it's just his job.

Dood was the truth... so genuine and just fun as hell... he used to hang in a bar in heber city on occasion... my dad always made sure he drank for free and said he was so friendly and nice to talk with. Hot rod tolerating my drunk dad tells me all I need to know about the guy... 4-5 of my step moms couldn’t do it.
