Probably the major reason I prefer the Freak over Booner and which no one mentioned is that, to me, he is just flat out more entertaining to listen to. Booner talks in an unemotional, monotone while Freak is very enthusiastic and adds funny comments along the way that Booner almost never makes. And he and Boler are always busting on each other, though sometimes that can be a distraction -- maybe they ought create a stand-up act -- :eek:

Or annoying to listen to.

About 75% of what Freakazoid/Harpring says is just down right non-basketball related (fry sauce, signage, Jazz nation, "Enes the Menace", etc, etc). If I want comedy I would have gone to a comedy club. When he talks basketball he is on point - I give him that - but that's only 25% of the time it seems like.

At least Booner tries to stick to basketball most of the time. Plus Booner doesn't love the sound of his own voice the way Freakazoid/Harpring does.
 
I don't mind a switch up once in while, its refreshing. A couple things that annoy me though:
-Every single 3 the Jazz make (leads to a donating promo for mountain america) ***not that I have a problem with donations, but there should be a visual reminder instead.
-Boler rookie comments to Harpring
-From Big Al to Al J
-Don't like the kantershop :S nickname
-The reluctance to call out Raja or Chucker

In the end, I do like Harpring's straightforwardness on what the Jazz need to do. I also tend to like coach Phil analysis during half time.
 
Harpring is terrible. He's more concerned with catch phrases than he is the game. Boone all day.

They call CJ out all the time.
 
I actually prefer Boone, but Harp does a decent job. Harps main problem is that he is being tainted by Bolerhack and heading down a path that will turn him into Hackring.

Boone is good because of his obvious knowledge of the game and total lack of fear to call it like he sees it. I often feel that Boler and Harp are trying to smooth things over while Boone says stuff like "that kid never saw a shot he didn't like". Also Boone has no problem correcting Boler, which I am sure Bolerhack hates.

Yeah Boone doesn't have the best grasp of the english language and he tends to get tongue-tied, but he is all basketball, all the time, and knows his ****. No fry sauce there. And that is refreshing after the garbage Boler, and now Harp, have been spewing. I hope Harp gets back the edge he had when he was a fill-in and hadn't been tainted by Boler. Then he would be far better than Boone. Until then, Boone is superior as a color commentator.

"Bull in a Kanter Shop" has to be the worst, least creative, non-nonsensical nickname I have ever heard in NBA history.

Yet it still comes up every game.

You do realize that name is adapted from a name Jerry Sloan once called Raul Lopez right?
