Yes Steel for the Vest here, and Turner for a strong Cummerbund.
It's Marchitelli for the mittens, for me. Hill just annoys the heck out of me.

I love Steel, one of the best in the business in my opinion. I’m not sure how everyone on here feels about Turner, but his voice puts me to sleep. Maybe one day, if Darrell Armstrong retires as an assistant coach, he can comeback to be our commentator.

To me, this is the worst broadcast team we have ever had. Steele is likable, but if you weren't watching the game, you wouldn't have a great idea of what was going on. I suspect that few around here have been following Orlando long enough to remember Chip Caray, but he was a much better play-by-play guy.Spoiler:
I want my color guy to teach the game and to provide entertaining anecdotes. I grew up listening to Dr. Jack. If you listened to him, you learned the game. There aren't many guys like him around anymore. I like Scalabrine a lot. He is very entertaining. Jeff Turner is just there. He is completely useless for me.
As an aside, Jeff Turner has benefited more from the Orlando Magic franchise than any human on earth, I think. He was already out of the NBA by the time Orlando got their franchise and signed him. He spent seven years in Orlando despite being one of the worst players in the history of the NBA. He never had NBA talent. What did he do well? Did he score the ball well? No. Did he defend? No. Did he rebound? No. Did he take care of the ball? No. He was six fouls a night that he managed to use up in the span of 10 to 15 minutes.
There was a sitcom with Craig T. Nelson years ago called "Coach". He played a college coach that eventually took over a professional team. In one episode near the end of the show's run, he had to make a difficult decision to cut a player on the team that everyone loved, even though the guy was a terrible player. The guy and his wife ingratiated themselves to everyone to keep his place on the football team. I'm convinced that this is Jeff Turner. Maybe he joined Amway at some point. I don't know. I can't understand why this franchise has kept this guy on their payroll all of these years.

Caray could've been the best in the NBA if he stayed. The Braves were probably the top job at that time because of the national tv audience that TBS brought. It was also similar to the job his grandfather Harry Caray had with the Cubs and WGN.Xatticus wrote:Anti Chalmers wrote:drsd wrote:What I love about Steel is that, whereas he is always the smartest and most knowledgeable person in the room, he never thrusts that out in his personality nor his broadcasts.

Like in our second year The 90-91 season. I remember being confused by this at the time.I guess it sort of made sense being close to Texas.(But so was Miami??) Then both Miami and orlando were placed in the EC.RookieStar wrote:ok time for some OT... I read in the GB about surprising facts about the NBA..
Did we really play in the western conference in the 91 season? Are we a western team?
I think they hang on to him until after the trade deadline. Not sure why they need to play him tho.drsd wrote:Harris sub-Bacon play has made him essentially untradeable. That is sad as Orlando really needs to free up guard minutes moving forward.
My question: after Carter-Williams and Moore return, should the Magic simply release Harris outright?
The outcome would be to add 5 minutes per game to Hampton. At this point, for me, Hampton needs more court time than the Magic need Harris' "veteran presence". That is gained from Carter-Williams and Moore anyhow.
