    Last season if I could watch ESPN or TNT coverage instead of Blazer broadcasting I would because I was not a fan of Kent. I didn't do that with Calabro. I'm not a fan of Calabro, it's just that he doesn't annoy me as much, lol.

    lol...so does Calabro

    this is all subjective opinion right?


    I do not disagree...but I'll repeat my argument that I don't think Calabro will convince a single person in Seattle to tune into Blazer games if they weren't already doing so. I mean, if Mike Barret had been named the announcer of King's games, would you have tuned in?

    If I didn’t have a team in my city, but was an NBA fan I think listening to a known guy would be less annoying than listening to a not all that good former football player for a college team that I viewed as the enemy.

    The move got approved by the NBA (Cuban and Paul Allen were the only ones who voted against it)

    I think if they had to redo it they wouldn't approve it; the owners are getting a split of OKC tiny revenue instead of much larger Seattle.

    Being a duck offsets much weakness.
    Why not just hire Softy another Seatlle guy?

    Somehow these are the same owners who approved leaving Seattle and Vancouver BC for Memphis Tennessee and Oklahoma.. That’s insane

    I feel like I've listened to a lot of play-by-play announcers for other teams, as well as the national TV ones. How many are objectively a better announcer than Calabro? Honestly I can't think of many. I like Joel Meyers (New Orleans), Ian Eagle (Nets), Mike Breen (Knicks), Sam Farber (Hornets), Bill MacDonald (Lakers). Honestly there are a lot that are REALLY bad, and we had probably one of the worst. Calabro I would put top 10 at least.

    LMA is looking for a job. He could retire as the greatest Blazer broadcaster ever!

    I actually listen to the opponents broadcast just not to listen to Kent. Thank you Blazers.
