My Booner

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.

It's hard, and sometimes really frustrating when trying to get someone to stop doing something that they love doing even if they are terrible at it isn't it Duiz.

Thats how the rest of us feel when you continue posting.

I love the Booner. I want Hot Rod back. I don't want insightful commentary, not that Boler provides that. I want the the drunken ramblings of an old man and I want the obvious observations of an air head. Hot Rod and Booner make me feel like a kid again. You gotta love it, baby.

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?

Hot Rod is a real play by play guy. You don't need basketball savvy, you need a quick tongue. Williams to Boozer, Boozer to Williams, Williams to Korver the three!!!!! NO, Millsap the tip, YESSSSSS!


That is what I want.

I am glad I can make you miserable. :nod: Good one btw.

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.
