If there was a Jazz Basketball God

No doubt Locke sounds very unprofessional as an announcer, but as a Jazz fan I find him quite enjoyable to listen to.

How about if we got rid of Bolerjack and let Boone be the main man. It'd be like Monty on Major League. "Fly ball: caught."

Oh god please no. I will admit I've not heard Booner in a long time since I'm no longer in Utah, but when I lived there up '97 Boone's commentary was some of the most inane I had heard. In fact my friends and I had a drinking game for anytime Boone said something stupid or obvious during a game. Needless to say we were pretty drunk by the end of each game.

Could be worse. You could be forced to listen to Coach Nissalke.

I disagree. Boone is the one that has left us with some very insightful comments over the years, such as: "Jason Terry is one of those players that every year will be in the running to win rookie of the year," or, I did not know this, but "Joe Smith was the first overall pick in 1975." The best was when Boler tried to correct him about that, and Boone thought about it for a second, then still said, "no, it was 1975."

You've got to love Booner when he can't finish a thought. He tries to explain something, and then totally forgets what he's saying and just goes quiet.

I'm betting Booner goes to Radio with Locke and they put Harpring on the TV broadcasts.

David Locke earned a one-year free pass from me because he told me a funny story about Vin Baker drinking during an interview. I will not call for him to be fired until at least April of 2011.

I understand the irritation with locke's style but I concur with kicky. Locke had one of the best 5 minute stretches in broadcast history when Matt Bonner had an incredible hot streak against the Jazz in Utah this past season. He said something to the effect that "bonner is dominating the game while never actually jumping up off the floor." He than moved right into a story about how Bonner is a notorious cheapskate and that he actually saves all subway tokens for each NBA city (that has a subway) for use all year long.

I have to say it was off the charts funny.
