    Steve Smith was awful today. No humor, no vocal inflection high and low, almost as boring to listen to as Shaq. I sure don't want him doing our color.

    have you guys every listened to Calabro on the reg? He is pretty animated. I think he will do just fine to bring a contrast to Calabro. He is about as big as we can get while maintaining ties with them for Portland.
    I think he will be just fine sitting next to Calabro. Think of Wheels and Tone. They were decent. Tones dismissal had more to do with off air issues than on air.

    Whomever is doing the color commentary between the Summer League games on NBA.TV (outside of Brent Barry) needs to have their mouths duct taped shut. Some of this shit is so banal and pointless it would put insomniacs on crystal meth to sleep.

    Smith would piss me off. Barry is entertaining at least.

    What I don't like about Barry is his voice

    I don't get what you mean. But this gives me the chance to say, have you seen The Black HCP? Lillard's Adidas tag-along looks like you.

    Fear not mediocre one. It will be Bones. He has Seattle ties. Smitty doesn't.

    HA! Very nice. Man, that guy is everywhere. Big time adidas rep. Met him at our hotel in Miami last year, very cool. Or maybe because Dame introduced us, he felt he needed to be cool.

    Did anyone else notice during the Meyers and Crabbe stuff Casey retweeted one of the NBA TV guys talking to Brent Barry, I wonder if he knows anything?

    Coulda been because he was doing all that stuff during a Blazers game.

    It literally just makes me want him as our color guy more though. I love that he has a damn personality.

    Chris McGowan just said on Courtside that they're looking to announce a replacement in August.

    Don't they need an announcer to announce who's going to be the color announcer? They should have waited to to fire one of the Mikes until after they made the announcement.

    August? Someone under contract? Means it's probably not PJ

    45% of Blazer fans couldn't care less who the tv color commentator is.
