Kerr should stick to being a failure as a GM.

I laughed last night when Marv Albert started the very first second of coverage with "Here in Miami with the always late arriving crowd" followed by the camera panning the arena and every seat being full.

God I wish the ECF was on ESPN. I can't think of a single TNT analyst/announcer on that network that isn't a douche about this team.

Don't forget Reggie Miller actually applauding the energy in our building, which was followed up by Kerr stating how energized the Bulls were. If the rest of the basketball world didn't hate the Heat so much, Kerr and Reggie would be selling coffee at Starbucks.

Miller: "if LeBron can knock down that 3 with regularity he'll be almost unguardable."

Kerr: "yeah just like Derek Rose has been all year"

*spew*



Don't forget when Marv Albert said,

"Derrick Rose has not been shooting the ball all that well, Only 41% from the floor and 26% from 3"

Kerr:"Yeah, but all those missed shots lead to Chicagos' big men getting offensive rebounds and putbacks"

:lol:

It's all part of their offensive strategy.

I like to think Michael Jordan specifically punched Steve Kerr that one time in practice because he knew Kerr would one day go on to become a sniveling, annoying TV analyst.

Jordan was trying to circumvent the space/time continuum and spare us all a dystopian future.

Imagine the awesomeness of having Dan Lebatard and Stugots commentating Heat games?
Thank god Skip Bayless isnt let anywhere near telecasting games :lol: he's actually rooting for Heat and LeBron now, but isn't everybody now all of a sudden? :lol:

Magic has actually been pretty fair for the Heat. After last game, I think he said something like: You need to give the Heat a lot of credit for Chicago's offensive woe's.

At one point Marv was referencing "who is Miami's most clutch player find out on the statscube", and then he called out Kerr because he was shaking his head. Apparently, Kerr was trying to say that they don't have a clutch player.

Kerr ripped off his Buls jersey in disgust toward the end when Noah was chasing around LeBron.

Dude knows his stuff, but pisses everybody off with commentary that is equal parts amusing and inflammatory.


Don Cherry may know his stuff but his constant slurping of Canadian Players is beyond reasonable. He has such a seething disdain for Euro's/US players that I wouldn't even be shocked if he formed a militia and go out sniping them in their homes.

U can guess whom his number 1 target is....The most successful US Hockey team-Detroit Red Wings!!

No thanks pass on that clown.

I must say, as an outsider, I felt there was a determined effort to "hype" the Bulls players, particularly Rose, with superlatives. Rose is an incredible player but when he makes a mediocre play and these announcers are jumping out of their seats -- over-reacting -- then viewers can only wonder whether there's something more going on.

Perhaps because the Heat already have two (3?) larger than life players, it's necessary to pump up the opposition a bit. Whatever the reason, they should call things more objectively. If they can't, they should be replaced.
