Booner reminds you of the old days when he did broadcasts with Hot Rod. A reminder of one's youth and how good we had it when Hot Rod was coherent and taking swigs of Jack Daniels between every commercial break. Steve Brown and Boone are like a double negative..... It just doesn't work. Steve Brown reminds me of the following....

I don't know if I'm just imagining this, but on one of the weekend games, it seemed like Steve Brown used the word "body" a lot. I'm glad that college football is wrapping up so we shouldn't get too much of Brownie on play-by-play going forward.

What's up with Harpring though? Why is he not doing most of these games with Stevie Wonder(no offense to the real Stevie Wonder, but his eyesight is probably superior to Brown's after watching Brown announce these games and try to point out things that never happened)? I know in many ways he(Harpring) is a dunce, but he is our loveable dunce. He would seriously be dead already if Geography tests or math tests were requirements to continue living.
Harpring: "Manu Ginobli is probably the 1st or 2nd best European player to ever come from Argentina."
Harpring: "It's now 51-50, Jazz up by 2."
I really, really, really hate listening to Locke on the radio but I have to admit he'd be a little less bad on TV. On the radio he constantly leaves out very important bits of information that makes it very difficult for me to follow along. With Hot Rod, maybe I benefited from watching him broadcast on TV, but I could easily picture the action when I listened to his radio broadcast.

For the rest of the tank we should get rid of all the announcers and just broadcast the games in complete, solemn silence.
Locke has gone too far with his analytics obsession. He acts like he's bringing fans cutting edge stuff when all he's really doing is sucking on the teet of an idea that's been built for the last 15 years. Saying stuff like "the revolution has begun" and acting like his brain is somehow responsible annoys me. I wish he'd go back to the his old statistical analysis of players or plays instead of pounding this league wide trend to death.
