    No way - MB is too good not to get a job with another NBA team.

    Let's not be overly critical of the broadcasting not being energized enough after 2 quarters... BTW I'm liking Jordan Kent in that "anchor" role.

    Calabro and Hurd will take some getting used to but they're obviously Pro's at what they do

    I'd like to see Barrett and Rice take over for Jaynes at Comcast

    Napier has that swagger. He was a big game player in college. Don't know about his NBA career so far, haven't followed him, but I think he's good enough to be in the rotation, even if it's for 5-10minutes

    You'll get over it. Calabro has that vin scully type voice along with the ability to succinctly and charmingly tell a story within the construct of a basketball game. Hurd is young and hip, something Mike rice was the very antithesis too. Of course I miss the Mikes, I grew up with them, but I have a feeling blazer basketball is going to synonymous with calabro and hurd much sooner than you may think.

    His face is permanently in "please don't fire me" mode.

    I was just about to say that... I really didn't like Jordan Kent too much in other roles... but for some reason, he seems good where he's at. I was wrong.

    Wait, they got rid of Mike and Mike, but Jaynes is still around?

    He's guaranteed this year, and has a team option next year

    Rice is way more hip than Hurd to me. Calabro is miles ahead of MB though.

    What makes it special? That he fell on his ass?

    I believe Comcast employs Jaynes, not the Blazers. So hopefully Comcast can hire the Mikes for something Blazer related

    It's not like I've never heard Calabro. He's always annoyed me. I don't need someone young and hip.
