This just sealed my decision to continue not subscribing to Fox Sports Rocky Mountain.

Now the NBATV guys are atrocious, so it's hard to gauge, but I think Harp is awful and going to be terrible alongside Homerjack.
Get ready for this type of insight:
"Jerry needs great players on this team."
"I think he'll be OK."
"Deron's one of the future bright talents of this league."
"How the Jazz go is how Deron's going to go."
"I think [Jerry's] going to focus on defense. I think he knows that defense wins championships."
PS: Thank god Boozer, Korver, and Brewer are gone.

Bolerjack is fine. Some things I don't like, but overall, not bad. Harpring is very passionate about the game from what I've heard on the color. He'll be fine. He's been quoted as saying he doesn't like the studio work and would much rather do the color.

Viny, one account per person now.
Seriously though . . . If at least 50% of the broadcast team isn't black, then we aren't diverse enough?
We do have big T.

This was harps first time doing this kind of commentator work last summer. He got better throughout the year and was much better as a color commentator by the end of the year. I think he'll do well.

Agreed, remember his interview with D-Will? I'm looking forward to more of these interviews. Here it is in case you missed it..

I enjoy Harps commentary. He knows the game and can think fast enough to talk about the plays while they are in motion. That's on O and D ends of the floor too.

I always liked it when he pointed out what a player on our team was supposed to do on a play and what they did wrong. It helps me understand the system better.

Harp is still too close to the actual floor for my comfort, but I liked what I heard of him last year. Still, I really liked Boone. He's actually funnier than you think because he has such an understated delivery. I can remember a lot of times laughing a few seconds late to one of his jokes. And he's pretty objective which you don't always get in a color guy.

Get Boone out of here!
Matt Harpring is somebody who understands the Jazz system better than Boone. He also is not worried about offending people as much. It makes it more entertaining. I am not saying he is offensive but Matt Harpring speaks his mind a lot more. He gives opinions on the game that I don't normally hear from announcers.
Boone is boring and he is too slow to give his comments. Which is very important because the plays happen so fast. Bolerjack would come in to talk about the play before Boone even finished his sentence. Boone also would stop in the middle of the sentences and never finish them. There would be silence after. He isn't a quick enough thinker. Harpring did a great job.
If you guys are complaining about him being captain obvious than you obviously don't pay attention to Boone because he says things that everyone knows. Now I am not saying Harp doesn't either. Every announcer does. But Harp actually said things that made sense and said a few things that we thought were true during games but it was good to hear it from him because he was in practice with these guys so he knows better. He also knows Sloan better than Boone.

Harpring is very repetitititive and his odd shaped noggin gives me the creepers. I still want me some delicious Booner. Get out of here with this crap.
