The team has improved this year. They should really keep these three....breen improved his commentary alot and although I used to hate mark jackson, I think hes gotten better at color commentary aswell. JVG also helps ALOT...im beginning to like abcs coverage for the first now now.

We still won more games than the 72 dolphins.....

i love jvg. i don't get the mark jackson hate.
he isn't afraid to call players out, and i enjoy that. jackson and jvg are fun together.
jvg used to coach the rockets, so excuse him a little today. i don't think it was that bad really. he was giving the rockets props like they should be given. 22 games in a row is amazing.
ppl dismiss that team, but they all have grown with adelman, and its not the Tracy Mcrgrady show anymore.
and battier needed some love. imo, he's better than bowen or artest.
i've seen two games in a row where he's did a remarkable job. against peja and now kobe.
imo, they are winning again tuesday. boston is amazing, but they'll be tired after the spurs, like most teams are and the rockets are playing like out of some movie.

besides the pregame show...tnts announcing crew is really overated.....doug collins and kevin harlan are great....marv albert has really lost a step imo. I really do think abc has the best single game announcing team in basketball....cant wait till the finals. (Every other abc team sucks though)

Marv's only good with someone who complements him but Miller and Fratello really suck .
Sometimes it's like only Marv's talking for 10 minutes then he trys to give the other two a hint for something to talk about but somehow they'll never get it. Very often Fratello and Miller talk about complete nonsense.

I still hate Mike Breen. JVG was this good with Marv before he coached the rockets.

Van Gundy is a clown, I like his honesty, but his opinion ultimately means little. Maybe I am living in the past, but give me Bob Costas anyday. To me, game announcing is just as important as background music in a movie, it sort of expresses emotions that the players can't and when you have Van Gundy being goofy all game, it takes away a sophistication toward the game.
