Jazz Pursuing Yuta Watanabe

The cool thing about Yuta is that basically every single possession (and not just possessions that result in a stat/missed/made shot) he has every played or ever will play gets posted on youtube. You dont even have to actually watch Raptors games to get a good feel for his impact and how he plays.

At 0:40 is what Im talking about with Yuta. He's 6'8 guarding two guards in a single possession here. Stays with Haliburton then switches onto Mitchell and stays in front of him perfectly before tipping the ball away for a steal. Despite being that size, he does a great job of staying low and defending with his feet while letting his hands disrupt.

I think I’ve reached peak anti-Boler. Hard to imagine it getting worse. The low point happened this year when he says “Tee” 4,000 times a game (as he addresses Thurl, by nickname, over and over again, needlessly).

The new format goes like this: Boler cracks out some inane comment, and then sticks Tee on the end of it (as if it wasn’t clear who he was taking to). Then, the first thing out of Thurl’s mouth is an agreement with that inane comment, as if by contractual obligation. It’s usually, “That’s right....”

This is brain-melting; over and over and over again.

Thurl has to say "that's right" because if he corrected him or tried to make whatever Boler said make sense he wouldn't be able to focus on the game at all, he would spend the entire broadcast doing that. But hey, at least now we have blonde Boler to add just as much useless crap to the broadcast. Thurl has no hope to keep up with it all. But I dig his mellow voice. Like smooth jazz.

Holly seems infinitely more aware and on-her-toes than Boler, though.

Utah always has one of the highest natality rates in the nation, so it makes sense. Utah def want a baby.

It was working for me... I think I would plant it in Boler's brain so he couldn't get the name right and then I might enjoy the broadcast 15% more.
