Can a Magic Fan Please Explain Something to Me? 

Post#1 » by Destin » Thu Dec 7, 2017 1:45 am

I have watched every single game this season on FOX Sports. Why in the hell do I keep seeing a USC Trojan Commercial after every break? USC is located on the other end of the country in California.

Next, do the announcers sound like I am listening to a Golf match while watching a horrible basketball game?

Why does JT (Yes, I am now using initials like JT does for every friggin player) sound like he is whispering all game?

Besides watching my team look horrible and having to listen to our announcers, it's becoming very difficult to get through a complete game

JT and EP and AG and NV and JS and FG and MB for Moe Buckets. I have been listening to these announcers for as long as I can remember and they are getting more horrible every single year.

Jeff Turner is annoying sometimes.

But David Steele is pretty good.

Jeff Turner tries too hard to be exciting and funny. His voice puts me to sleep. And sometimes he doesn’t get the most obvious joke David Steele is making.

Steele isn't perfect but he's good. I want him to stick around until he chooses to retire. Jeff Turner is the problem. He just speaks in cliches and doesn't really bring anything interesting to the table. Guokas put in a lot of work and had a lot of interesting things to say to fill the air, and him and Steele had great chemistry together, both with basketball and humor. Turner just quotes from his book of cliches and praises his pet players. I'll give him credit for one thing: he's doing a good job with the nightly Taco Bell promos.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

"purrrreee MAaaagic!". Kill me.

I listen to the other team's broadcast. It is amazing how much better many of them are. Atlanta's was excellent.

Yep. Last night the Hawks feed was good and the other night I also had the Nuggets feed which was also miles better than ours.
The Knicks feed was also very nice.

I notice a trend...

Atlanta's broadcast used to be garbage during the Josh Smith era and even the past couple of seasons when they were a playoff contender. All of a sudden though, Nique and Rathbun got incredibly in depth with both teams especially Nique who has improved immensely. Found myself agreeing every time with them every time when they brought up issues with the Magic in that game.

Goukas was great.

Turner just fills a chair. Awful, brings ZERO to the broadcast.

Radio broadcast is terrific.

Steele is decent.

Carey was adequate from a skill level, but brought a lot of enthusiasm to the broadcast.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Ditto on Goukas, he was pretty good even though you could hear how bad he was getting over time. "JT" sucks.
