Petition to have Matt Harpring canned

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.

I think boler likes Jazz basketball just doesn’t know basketball... mike Smith seems like he knows but isn’t all in on Utah. I’d rather have Locke even though he’s over the top

He was a broadcaster with the Clippers for like 18 years. Was really good alongside Ralph Lawler. Probably will take some time (if they keep him) before he seems like a Utah guy.
 
"When Anthony Davis leaves the game Jrue Holiday is the second best player on the floor behind Donovan." (While Rudy was on the floor) ~ Matt Harpring

GTFOH Matt. How dare you disrespect Rudy like that.
Matty said that if the the Gobert draft were done over, he would be the third pick behind Giannis and Adams.
 
I don't understand why the hell everyone likes Mike Smith so much. I think he is awful.
Because they talk about the game. I hate Harpring's schtick about the other BS he does. I'd take Mike Smith over Harp and I prefer Bailey over Harp as well.

I really hope they don't. He's spastic.
 
The Jazz should go out and poach one that's good. Overpay per usual.
 
Hell no. Locke drives me nuts. I'd rather not hear the game than listen to him.
You just bought a like, and will get one for free.
His wording on the radio does not help me imagine what is going on in the game at all. If anything it is just confusing so I don't know what is going on at all.
His sayings are him pressing for something new, and when many of the good ideas have already been taken, new isn't always a good thing.
He would make a really good friend though.
 
It just doesn’t feel like it should be super hard to get someone decent.

Dig out the next Ian Eagle or find the third Van Gundy brother... or just have some randoms do it... blazers have an after show that is just like three dudes talking. Have Cy and Infection do it... Cy can disagree with everything and Infection can tie all of our issues on court to lack of Niko and Beverly.
 
I am good with Boler, Locke, Harp and Thurl. Booner is OK. Not a big fan of Alema but he is tolerable. I do not care at all for Smith. Those of you who don't like our announcers should listen to what other teams have or be forced to listen to the national guys who usually butcher our broadcasts. I have said it before but I don't get all of the hate.

Lol if this is true then I'm reinstating my initial petition. Giannis would be selected over Gobert yes. But no team is taking Adams over Gobert.

Ya everyone seemed to love the players only broadcasted game iirc
 
I actually like all three of the color guys for the Jazz. It's a far cry from the days when Steve Brown would host.
