    Why do I think McGowan is going to hit a grand slam with the new hires and a lot of people in this thread will be feeling like they made an "Harrison F'ing Barnes" thread?

    god, some of you guys overreact to everything.

    I really doubt that if the NBA hasn't moved back to Seattle in (at that time) almost 20 years, they'll move back to Seattle.

    They replaced the announcers, it's not like they changed the team name, colors and traded away everyone.

    And just like Harrison Barnes (whoever), I'd rather have Lillard (Mikes)

    Mike Rice is my favorite announcer in sports. I don't think he's replaceable. It's not like there's a measure for it, as there are numerous measurements for a guy like Harrison Barnes. To come back and say this wasn't a mistake in the future, does not sound inspiring of a thought. For that I would have to forget the remarkable human touch that Mike Rice had upon me.

    I also really enjoy the quirkiness that is mike rice. He is a true original. I will miss watching him on TV. But, change happens and I think withholding judgment is the way to go.

    I do like Steve Smith. Didn't Greg Anthony have some criminal issue or something?

    Edit: I guess it was a prostitution sting in Jan. 2015. Barkley got a pass on that though, so the precedent is set for Blazers to give him a shot. He's an entertaining guy.

    For hiring a prostitute. But he has since been reinstated.

    Anthony is actually quite good imo. Just depends if they would want to deal with the pr from that.

    I grew up listening to Wheels and The Wild One on radio. I don't think people realize how long Rice has been with the team.

    I never liked MB's calls, felt he was way too emotional.

    Tone was an abomination and this was a long time coming.

    Can we just not bring in that scratchy throat blowhard PJ Carlesimo please? Jaynes suggested him earlier

    I agree with this. I, however, grew up with Schonz and Rice. I feel like I have been through this before. Sad to see Rice go, but them's the breaks.

    Also seriously hope @HCP sticks around. I know he has other gigs outside of Blazer broadcasting, but he's a local dude who is actually good at his job. Don't fuck around, McGowan.
