I know it is a little thing, but does it bother anybody else when Bolerjack says this? To me, hammering down some points = dunking the ball. But he uses it all weird. For example, I would never say, "AK hammers down the free throw." You can hit, drop, make, put in, etc. free throws, but you don't hammer them down.

I'm the tiresome resident Bolerjack hater on this board. I'll agree with you and let you know what's coming. Bolerjack is an extremely knowledgeable basketball commentator with an incredible voice. Let's ignore the ignoramus when he says such stupid things. After all, he's not a professional and should not be expected to act as if he was. His voice excites many jazzfanz. That's all that matters, don't you know? Basketball knowledge doesn't matter for the main commentator. Their job is to speak with such great bravado that you hardly notice what they're actually saying. That is, discussing what is going on in an intelligible manner is not only unimportant, but should not be expected at all. "What do you want from a commentator?" Listen to his great voice you complaining *******.
Maybe they're copying some MLB broadcasts. Teams like to get fans personally involved, even in such a trivial way. Last year the Colorado Rockies broadcast had a game foods tournament--hotdog vs. hamburger, nachos vs crackerjacks, etc. The Rockies broadcasters were able to fit the poll results, "here's how to vote", and a little personal commentary in without distracting from the game too much. Slower paced baseball games allow a broadcast to incorporate this stuff quit a bit better than NBA broadcasts. Still, the Rockies broadcasters seemed to keep it to a minimum much better than Bolerjack and Harpring (for president) have.
You're basically arguing that if only piss water and brackish sludge is available to drink then we should be happy if we're lucky enough to have the piss water. Been there, done that:

I really really want Harpring to stop talking about his M&Ms and giving me a play by play of what the Bear did during the time-outs.
I thought you were known for your "Nail" impersonations.
Don't you get hammered all the time?
