    You're good man, you've been predicting these wins and losses like a pro lately. I just hope we don't see Dame deferring to CJ as much as he was at the start of the season, when CJ comes back in a week or whatever.

    In Kevin Calabro we had NBA royalty, and didn't appreciate it. He made the game exciting.

    Yeah I think Kent and Barrett are both way too amateurish. I don't need the guy on the couch next to me doing play by play or someone made of wood doing it either. If Calabro really is done, we need to go after another actual pro.

    I honestly think Travis Demers and Michael Holton are the best listen we have right now...Travis calls a solid game...has a ton of knowledge about the rule book..Michael Holton has grown into the commentary role very well...he brings a high BBIQ to the mix...both are better than the Mike's....Wheels and Holton were my favorite duo on the radio but Travis has surprised me with his professionalism

    I found wisenheimer's post to be hilarious.....reminded me of a hillbilly real estate joke...why houses don't sell in moonshine country....because you find your spouse in the same house you were raised in. I'll probably go to hell for that "like"

    I kind of feel I'm my own gauge for excitement....don't need a voice-over to guide me. Maybe it was that I found the Callabro/Hurd mix kind of grating, although they did get a little better after they gave up the Laurel & Hardy routine

    but Mike and Mike made things entertaining for me, especially when they went full doofus
