1. What is this guy talking about?
2. Completely lacks any knowledge on the Celtics.
3. No history with the franchise, or players.
4. Way to young, and inexperienced.
5. Passive aggressive in weird way.

It physically hurts my ears to listen to this guy. Please Celtics fire this guy. This is a championship season. This guy should be left to high school games.

What would Tommy say to this travesty?

Should probably have a couple home games where Mike does color, and give him the Tommy Heinsohn/Red Aurbach school of announcing treatment, take his notes and toss them. Tell him to announce what they see in front of them , instead of dropping so and so went to this school and historical stats for players.

1. What are YOU talking about? Don’t understand your criticism.

2. This might be your most valid complaint. Anybody new to the organization won’t have the same knowledge as an internal hire. He’ll learn more of the history with time.

3. I don’t see how this criticism is any different than #2 above. He doesn’t need to be a former part of the organization. He just needs to understand its history.

4. True, but you should judge him on the merits, not on his age.

5. Don’t see it at all.

Speaking as someone who fondly remembers Johnny Most and recalls the days when Heinsohn and Cousy were broadcasting Celtic's games out of Ch. 27 in Worcester, for 2 games in I thought he did pretty good. Spot on analysis, not too intrusive with his calls and seems to be developing a rapport with Scal. I for one am interested in players' backgrounds (i.e. where they went to school). I think he will only improve as the season moves along. Now regarding the 24Autogroup, enough already!! I don't need to hear that woman (girl) screaming at me in a shrill voice twice during every timeout :upset:

Something has to be done about this, it's not sustainable.

I think he is good. Good voice. Good technique. He isn’t Gorman. But Gorman wasn’t Gorman 40 years ago.

He's okay. Nothing special but nothing offensive either

Just for the record I love Grande play calling lol. We are spoiled between him and Gorman.

Let it play out.

If he's no good then he'll eventually get replaced.

This reminds me of that genius that kept yelling 'Fire Ime' after the first game, no matter how good we started to look after the All Star break before making the finals.

Don't be that guy. Give him a chance bruh.
