    Calbaro just has a national broadcaster voice... It's so different from Mike Barrett... If he takes away the "red and black" I'll like him even more.

    And... I loved Rice, but we needed something else... and Hurd will be good... he'll learn to truncate his messages and not subtlety promote fast food soon.

    Diaw was clearly on the Felton diet this summer. I can't believe dumbass media people think he'll actually make a difference

    ESPN still has a solid box score. Just about the only reason I care to give them my traffic.

    If they had said "tip the scales" it'd of been much more accurate.

    I'm a fan of the new lighting scheme here in the Moda. Brings the focus to the court much better than before.

    Calabro's voice irritates me. It's boring as fuck. Barrett was a good balance of straight man and still having some personality. Rice was the crazy uncle who showed up to dinner already drunk and kept everyone entertained. Hurd feels like a desperation hire. I'm pissed because I liked Mike and Mike so much, plus I felt they kind of got the shaft.

    Edit: When I used to have the opportunity to choose to watch games on national TV or Comcast with the Mikes, I chose Comcast every time to hear Mike and Mike. Now I would rather hear whatever idiots they have calling the game on ESPN or wherever.

    Yeah. It's kind of annoying that our best non-roster guy is ANOTHER small defensively-challenged guard. But he's EASILY the best.

    So glad Rice is still in Portland. I hope he and MB team up again in some capacity - radio show maybe?

    I love it. And it's still possible to see the crowd rise on big plays

    You know, I was on that thought of they got the shaft when it first came out... but they got paid for a year to look for other work (or retire in Rice's case)... not too shabby.

    Calbaro will be fine. And it's nice to have a guy who can see 10 players on the court, instead of 20. ;)

    After one half of a game, I'm definitely missing the Mikes. Maybe it's because I don't like change, I don't know.
