    It had come to the point I couldn't take one more, "loose ball, out of bounds off the Jazz....Blazer ball!! Oh, off the Blazers they say" from Barrett. He wasn't calling the game, he was calling what he hoped would happen. I can appreciate a homer (love Wheels) but it just got so old hearing that time and time again.

    Completely fair critique. But I'll take Calabro making an obviously understandable mistake to Barret's continually wishful broadcasting that had to be corrected over and over again.
    And don't get me started on his off- season huperbole assessments of how good players were looking or how Steve Blake was just any of being Magic Johnson from the way he talked about him.

    Can we all agree that the Blazers really need to get a new instant replay person?

    Give me a homer/fan of the team over someone who used to actively root against us when calling games……as he should have

    Travis Demers would be great. No offense to y'all but someone not in retirement age would be nice.

    Quoted….


    PORTLAND, Ore. (June 16, 2021) – The Trail Blazers announced today that Jordan Kent will no longer serve as Television Play-By-Play Broadcaster. Kent started with the Trail Blazers in 2016 as Television Studio Host alongside Michael Holton, filled in as Television Play-By-Play Broadcaster during the NBA restart in Orlando in 2020 and was named Television Play-By-Play for the 2020-21 season.

    “We’re extremely thankful for the hard work, dedication and passion Jordan has put into his roles with the Trail Blazers,” said Chris McGowan, President and CEO of the Trail Blazers and Rose Quarter. “He brought a wealth of basketball knowledge and experience to the organization and we wish him nothing but the best as he continues in his career.”

    if Calabro is back, Hurd likely is too. They've worked together for years.
