I vote we get Dee Brown to do some TV.

I thought Dee Brown was awesome for ESPN after winning "Dream Job".

I have to post here, I really don't like Donny Marshall as a commentator either. A market as big as this deserves better. Its not just his voice, he just comes off like a video game announcer.

We should get Scott Pollard back for this one


Scot Pollard is currently looking for work as an analyst/commentator, that would be one easy solution.

Am I the only one who thinks Pollard is horrible.

Now there's an annoying personality/person/makes Boston fans look like dummies.


Fixed

And agreed with your original unfettered post, it's amazing how annoying and whiny his speaking voice is...it totally matches his picture, though, especially when you first hear it...

I agree Donny is fine...as long as Greg and Gary are kept the hell away, I'm OK

Last I checked Walton did the Clipper games as well as whatever he does at ESPN and seeing how he is a West Coast guy and his kid is a Laker he isn't coming.

I would guess this is kind of about money. Comcast is just consolidating their employees and I know Cousy's feelings are hurt but what is the point of him coming on with Donny on the road?

I really hope that the plan is to replace Tommy with Cedric eventually, no sense having a better color man on the radio than on TV, whether you like Donny or not Max is a better color man and knows a lot more about NBA ball expecially at the level we hope to be watching it at. But Tommy should be able to dictate when he hangs it up.
