I knew about this last night as a couple of my friends work on the show. The only link I have is a mobile link:

I made some comments a while back about how it was low budget trash, but never expected they would terminate it. I figured they would revamp it or something, never just scratch it all together. Like CSN has some big show they need to put in that time slot or something.

More Maloof cost-cutting.
Look, if they are so desperate to save a buck, get rid of Grant. I would much rather have Koz doing the play by play for TV than the red-headed bafoon.

I dont think you will find anyone to disagree with that. I heard him on the radio today, and he made me sick.

I like Grant.
But ya House Party sucked. No big loss, that the right place to cut spending.

That show didn't have the budget to really be a good show. Even still I think the show would have been cut no matter if it were quality or not.
To be honest other than Gary Gerold the whole media team has gotten stale. I think they need to overhaul the entire media and promotion team. The guys that give stuff away at the Arena...yawn. Henry Turner and Fat Lever had the knowledge but they weren't good on TV. I liked Kayte. Koz I liked, but he didn't add anything other that corniness.
Jerry Reynolds is just getting old, too. I've never liked Grant Napier. Angela Tsai should NEVER have got that job in the 1st place. Even the Arena announcer is boring. "Go Kings Go!" He sounds gay. I'm glad Big Mike isn't around, but the other guy is funny (not ha ha funny either). It's just been a repetitive boring experience at Arco.

Ya if you have ever been to Staples Center you know just how bad Arco is (or probably any other arena for that matter). Turner is full of himself, I never really liked him. Koz is good imo, and he is a genuinely nice guy. I think Kayte was better than Turner or anyone else they brought on for analysis. Jerry is just getting dumber by the minute. Sorry to say,I love the guy, but he just sounds (Please Use More Appropriate Word). I don't mind keeping Grant on play by play but I also wouldn't mind replacing him with Koz. Then maybe adding Vlade Divac for color commentary

could you imagine?

Yeah, sucks for Koz.
I'm still fine with Jerry though. He has always bee corny and prone to saying the wrong names. Being a little senile is part of his charm.

Agreed. I hope Jerry stays around as long as he wants to. I wouldn't mind if Grant left, but I don't really think everyone's gotten as stale and boring as you guys make it out to be. I mean things are just stale and boring right now because the team has been stale and boring. If we have a good exciting team, things will be exciting again.

I think it's great they're finally gone. More or less I agree with the sentiments about the Kings broadcast team; i.e. they're stale, and generally just bad. I never understood the appeal of goofy pre and post game shows like it.

Amen brother! How can anyone not like Jerry, the guy cracks me up.
Grant does a good play by play but damn he has such a big ego he is sooo annoying, I can't stand the guy and usually disagree with most of what he says. And has anyone ever brown nosed the Maloofs more than Grant. He has his head so far up the Maloofs ass it's a wonder his hair is still orange. I guess that's why he still has a job.
Kayte I like her more ways than one!! Too bad she's gone.
Angela, is she gone? She needs to be. She's terrible. I get embarrassed for her every time she talks. I just can't believe she got that job. Who is doing the hiring down there?
Turner and Lever are alright, they just are sort of boring.
Koz was good, too bad he is gone, but it's not like he was great. Although I would rather see him over Grant.
Mike Lamb? Is he still around? He needs to just stick with baseball. Although I like him better than Grant because he doesn't kiss up to the Maloofs as much as Grant.
I like the the Gman but how many years does that guy have left? We should of gone after Kevin Calabero a few years ago.
And yes I agree with ICMTM the people at ARco are boring and the Go Kings Go has got to go.
The worst are the Maloofs. They have just become so annoying with everything they do and everything they say. I like how they attend the games and show interest but they just sound so phony when they talk.

What needs to go in those in-game interviews they have where Angela asks some stupid questions to those Kings Fans and their answers sound sooo rehearsed.. it annoys me to death

He was speeding around in his jag and hit the corner really hard. He came close to crashing in to my truck. He tried to stop like it was my brother and my fault and start screaming at us so I hopped out on the car and he got back in his and sped off.
There was also one other incident with him that was just stupid. So overall I think he is just an ass

I agree with everything about the game day atmosphere at Arco. My family has had season tickets the last two years and there was a huge down fall even last year of the whole atmosphere. I know a lot of people disliked big Mike, but he was into the game more than the current guy Armon.
