    Tv commentary and radio commentary are completely different. It's best if they don't mix.

    They need to just clone Calabro.

    I feel like you're missing the part where I'm joking.

    It would make sense. P.J. does live in Seattle. Oh I meant to make that part black and red. My bad!

    The use of color in your post makes you qualified to be a color commentator. You should call the Blazers.

    They are just going to have Calabro do different voices and switch chairs, he'll be both commentators!

    That would be one of the few things worse than not getting to watch the games at all.

    PJ Carlesimo would be a hard sell in Portland. PJ’s “style” created a lot of bad blood within the Blazer’s organization.

    If my memory is working today, there was a story going around that he created problems on the first day on the job. PJ pissed off Terry Porter big time, on the first day of practice. PJ never got along with many of his players.

    I doubt Mr. Allen would want PJs abrasive personality having an influence on the great culture this team now has. But that is only my guess, and hope.

    In interviews, Carlesimo seemed to have a hyperactive gland problem. The interviewer would ask him a simple question and never get to the second question, because of the long boring answer, spoken at maniacal speed by the crazyman. I thought and still think that he had some physical problem.

    He would repeat obvious high school-level fundamentals ad nauseum, shouting at his veteran players, who knew the game much better than he did. The media has always hated Sprewell for choking him when he coached Golden State, but I sympathized.

    Carlesimo learned to slow down as Popovich's assistant coach. Then he was Sonic head coach and spoke much more thoughtfully than he had years earlier as Blazer coach. He may finally have grown up.

    PJ makes the most sense.....if not the best choice. Respected, former Portland coach, lives in Seattle, worked with Calabro.

    No wonder you like him. His scratchy, abrasive voice fits you perfectly!

    If it's PJ, it's the worst move ever by McGowan and completely negates the awesome hire of Calabro.
