Has anyone noticed that Leo has stepped his game up?

I can't appreciate Leo while Jack is sitting on the sidelines. Jack is so much better IMO.

How about that 'Ask the Expert' thing that Leo does? Have you noticed that his explanations are ridiculously confusing? Thank god I already know most of the rules, or else I'd have no clue what Leo was rambling on about...

Bosh finishes with his right hand quite a bit actually. And he's very adapt at it.

The thing is, I've seen Bargs finish with his left hand before. He just (wrongly) choose not too on that particular play for some reason. I think it was more of a brain fart than anything else.

This is just nitpicking, but I wrote "go right", not "finish right". I guess you could respond by saying that I was then missing the point of Leo's comment but I think it's more important to point out that not every NBA player uses their right and left hands equally. While Bosh may be adept at finishing with his right, he doesn't seem to drive to his right. He drives left and occasionally spins back to his right. And I agree with you that he's an example of a player who DOES use both hands. It sort of supports my point that players in the L aren't quite as ambidextrous as Leo's comment, while trenchant, made them out to be. Good on Chuck for calling him on it.

(Side note: how good would some players, especially in the post, be if they were as comfortable on both sides of the basket and with the ball in either hand, as Timmy Dunc? Maybe that's part of the reason he's so good.)

The problem with Leo is that he loves the sound of his own voice.

I know what you mean. LOL.

The one that I didn't like was his explanation for team fouls vs personal fouls. I think there was a better way to explain it with a bit more detail.

But one thing for sure they try to do a good job of trying to teach basics to people who are relatively new to the game. Which is fair given that we are in a "Hockey country".

In the last game Leo said D. Mart's shots aren't falling this season like they usually do.

The last time he shot over 40% from the field was 1996-97.

For some reason, I am starting to prefer Leo over all of the Raptors commentators.

I have noticed improvement ... maybe he's been reading these boards?

EDIT- I still would rather have Jack
