    I like Hurd too, and he seems very genuine. But I just wish he wouldn’t talk quite so much and that he ‘d let the game speak for itself more often.

    I like Hurd, he seems nice but he's not exciting and isn't too terribly insightful. I don't know why we can't find a recognizable former pro (player or head coach) to do our color commentary. It would just carry a lot more weight and provide for interesting anecdotes related to what's going on during the game. We're one of the only teams in the league that doesn't have one... a couple of teams have former WNBA all stars. I think if you go to the link below and look at every team's broadcast team Lamar is literally the only color commentator for any team in the league that doesn't have a link to his own Wiki.

    I like Lamar....don't let his work next to Jordan Kent put a bad taste in your mouth...Hurd carried that show...I like his confidence, tone and pacing...he's young but ahead of the curve.

    not a lot of former players are articulate. hurd is great. perfect mix of excitement, insight, and he speaks well. only critique i'd have of him is pointing out our mistakes/problems more, but there's prolly a directive from above to be overly positive.

    that's KC. calabro calls the game like he's on radio. prolly cuz they used to simulcast games on tv/radio up in seattle when he was doing those games.

    Hurd is moody...meaning, depending on my mood, he can slide from insightful, to really irritating.

    I've never really liked the Hurd/Callabro combination.
