Sherm is a bit low-key. He needs to work next to a more dynamic personality. Sherm with Chuck Swirsky might be ok.

But he's still better than Leo. Of course, a case of herpes is probably better than Leo.

All of our colour commentators are trash, including Sherm.

Matt and Jack definitely have the best chemistry in terms of commentary. Matt and Leo are just awkward sometimes especially when Leo starts grilling Matt about something random and Matt has no idea how to respond. But that's more Leo's fault than anything.

Sherm is just as bland as Matt and doesn't really add anything insightful but he's def better than Leo.

One thing that bugs me is when Matt will just stop mid-sentence then takes forever to end it. "And Demar was..............Trying to get a call there but....................The refs let them play on"... Meanwhile 3 different plays have already happened on the court.

Absolutely not. Sherm is one of the worst comentators I have ever heard. Way worse than Leo. I am stunned anyone would say different. He should have been fired when they got rid of that white nerdy guy with the glasses. Order from best to worst

Jack
Leo
Devlin
Sherm

Also Devlin doesn't just stop mid sentence. He adds the first word of the next sentence onto the end of the last 1.

Davis makes a jumper, Jose..............with the assist,Rondo.................brings the ball up the floor,KG......................receives the pass,Doc Rivers................ calls a play from the sideline.

Horrible.

Sherm sucks too. Doing colour for an NBA game is out of his league.

I hope Jack's here for 40 more years. He's literally the voice of the Raptors.

Kyle Montgomery. Hands down. This is the guy who does the nba.com top 10 and daily zap.

Him and Mickael Pietrus should just do commentary. The comedy would earn their contracts based on that alone.

Absolutely.

He's not bad, but when he took over for Jack last game it was the kiss of death for the team.

Yes, I would rather drink a glass of water than a glass of sour milk or urine.

I'll say that was one of the best called games in a long time. I love Jack, truly, but there is a difference in intensity when you focus all conversation on the game, compared to when you're joking around. It was pretty enjoyable so Sherm gets my nod.

Also, I was worried Leo would come on. Thank The Lord that didn't happen.

:o passing in that clip was sweet. Individual highlights are fun, but Team Game is always more interesting to watch.
