I love Leo's Honesty

For all Leo gets ripped on these boards, he's the only guy who tells it like it is. He was saying it like it was the last game. He was telling us it was Andrea who needed to pick up his rebounding, and he was pointing it out on the replays.

I've always appreciated Leo's honesty.

I can't stand when Chuck doesn't criticize the team; instead starts praising the other team so he doesn't have to do say anything negative about the team.

I would say Jack is pretty honest, though early on this year he did seem to be more aware of organizational guidelines.

Hey, did you guys know Leo was coach for the Canadian Men's Basketball team last summer? He coached against a lot of the stars who are in the NBA.

I hate Leo (as a broadcaster/analyst) he doesn't shut up and breaks games down like he's talking to a 3 year old.

They really need to re-visit having Jack do all the colour analyst jobs on all networks.

:pray:

I'd have to say Jack is my fave, actually.

He also knows some refs. True story.

Chuck: "Get out the umbrellas Leo! It's raining treys!"
Leo: "I got a little scared there Chuck, when you said to 'get something out'! I thought you were getting out the salami and cheese!"

I swear, either I'm going crazy, or I've heard Leo use that same BS joke five or six times.

Among Raps guys? Easily, by 13, 000 country miles.

Now all he has to do is stop overrating Rasho and stop with the occasional jabs.

I don't see how Leo could not hate Chuck.

I mean, if the co-worker you spend the most amount of time has no problem reminding you of your professional failures, like constantly, how could you not hope that said co-worker doesn't contract AIDS?

As far as "telling it how it is", Leo's near the bottom on that list as far as Raptor broadcasters go ... He'll be the first one to say what X-player brings to the Raptors, while he's on the team, no matter how much of a scrub X-player is ... As soon as X-player is gone, Leo will be the first to bring up what X-player lacked ... A far as honesty, you're more likely to get it from the radio guys ... after the Philly game, Smith and Jonesy weren't afraid to criticize the Raps for getting outboarded and giving up more second chance points ... I'm old enough to remember Leo in his playing days, thus I can vouch that Leo sucked as a player and sucks equally as a broadcaster ...

I never realized how bad our analyst/broadcaster until I got a Dish.
