How to get a hold of our broadcast team?

I got no problem with the play by play guys, most of the broadcasters butcher names on occasion. I mean yeah I'd like to see them get a little more animated on bad calls though - Stu Lantz and Tommy Heinson go nutso.

Gotta say, I have more problem with the Jazz hiring Michael Smith than anything. Yeah, he managed to beat the rap, but what he did was wrong IMO and cost him the color job with the Clippers a few years back https://www.deseret.com/2010/1/7/20...former-byu-starter-charged-with-stealing-735k.
Those are the Boston guys, right? They are HARDLY models for good broadcasting, braugh.

I don’t know why, but whenever I think of Mike Smith, I never remember what he looks like but I envision the guy who played Kramer in the Jerry pilot:

Does TurboNed got turbos in his garage? Work on turbos? Sell turbos?

Yeah, both my brother and I used to be involved in car shows and drag racing but got out the game about 10 years ago or so. Ad yeah, I had a built '96 Ford Probe GT with over 550whp with Garrett GT35R turbo and my brother had a '94 Mustang GT.


@SCS I use FB for socia media, but had to reason to use twitter... maybe I'll be forced to start usinf it if this new email I sent few days ago to all three members of our PR team does not work.
 
TurboNed, I suggest you make a Youtube video in which you explicitly and clearly tell us the proper pronunciation of the player's names from the countries for which you best know. Put a link in here.

I thought about it but since I already sent that email, here is a quick copy/paste part from it. Hope it helps...



This is how they should pronounce Bojan Bogdanovic's name:

Not sure if any of them got the memo, but at least it seems that Bolerjack is finally starting to get in the groove by pronouncing Vucevic's name correctly this last game, unlike the first meeting vs the Magic.

But when it comes to Harpring, he just keep getting worse as the season goes by. It's unbelievable that he does not even pay attention to these things when he prepares for the game. If you can remember player's stats, I am sure you can remember how to pronounce player's names correctly. After all, It is your only job (when you decide to participate with Bolerjack every now and then).
No matter how some of us liked you as a player, but it is starting to wear off.
It is almost like when I was trying not to lose patience with Dante all these years, waiting for him to finally heal up and prove us wrong.

It is like he is not even listening to what Bolerjack is saying the whole game. Right after Craig pronounces it as Vooch-uh-vitch, he follows it by saying Vooch-uh-viK.

Imagine if you are from United States and live in one of those countries and you are pretty much limited to watching the NBA games with foreign announcers. How would you feel if at least one of them was butchering it every single game? I am sure it would not be pleasant to listen to.

And for God's sake, get things right with player's heights. You just can't keep changing it as you feel like and stop commenting on Donovan's upper body strength... haha.


To all you reading me mumbling about this issue and if you happen to run into one of them at your nearest BestBuy parking lot, do me a favor and tell them to check out this thread, so I won't be forced to start using Twitter or far worse start listening to other team's announcers ;)

Are these countries known as the Balkans? IF they were allowed to combine forces, they'd have a pretty good Olympic team.

Yes, or formerly known as Yugoslavia. And they would not just be good for Olympics but in the World Cup as well and even better in other sports, especially football or should I say soccer.
