Ron Boone, the color commentator (not by race) is known to have been a player full of longetivity. It was for many years that he didn't miss any games. I don't know if he is the one that holds the record for most consecutive games. Bowen's suspension made me want to celebrate the guy who says Ilgaukas (withouth the 's'), Venezuela (instead of Villanueva), Sefoloza (instead of Sefolosha)...
Man considering his consistency on being consistent, I think my rallies to get the man fired will be useless.
Take a look yourselves.

I really dont' like our announcers, Hot Rod was much better. I'd rather have like, oh, David Lock and Jeff Hornacek.
Can someone let management know? Thanks.

I like Locke because he loves the Jazz and loves basketball, but he can get annoying and he can be a jerk to callers. He is sort of like the Sean Hannity of Jazz Basketball Radio.
Would he be as bad as Boler and Booner? Maybe not?

I am glad I can make you miserable.

I liked the obvious change of pace by Booner this game, getting Llayden to talk about Garnett's kick out pass. Dissapointed that he only called it twice out of 6 times it happened. He could have began to redeem himself.
I must say it, I really don't like Booner cause I can't learn anything from Booner. I must really accept, and really, most of us don't really understand basketball to the fullest and sometimes what coaches are trying to do.

I enjoy Mike Fratello, and Doug Collins too. They make you understand what the heck is going on.
Booner is as always monotone and has nothing too insightful to say. He points out the obvious, and annoys the hell out of me with mentioning "That's gotta be the Morgan Jeweler's play of the game, isn't it?" about 6 times on the game.
I think I remember once we had Horny in there and he was giving us an insight to the Jazz offense more contextualized with Korver and that was cool to hear, also it is good to hear some of the strategies and thoughtful things to look for.
Ron Boone is like Orrin Hatch, just another day on the job. Very consistent though, props for that.
