Mike Smith

How do you guys feel about mike smith the color analyst? I personally can't stand him, he repeats himself and is an over the top homer.

I completely agree. He used to be better a few years ago, but when the team became legitimately good he became way too much of a homer.

He gets on my nerves. He's not only a big homer but his analysis is often symplistic and cliched. At least with Ralph you see he's just enthusiastic but Smith is a homer in a smug way.

He gets on a lot of Clipper fans' nerves. A lot of fans voice their displeasure with him on Twitter every game.

When I first started watching Clipper games, Ralph would be joined by the likes of Mike Fratello, Hubie Brown and Bill Walton.

He's too much of a homer, he'll have interesting insights, but he over exaggerates too much. Also if he finds any player he likes, he just overly gushes about them, he has some players in the league that he can't get enough of.

He should have told Ralph the other day that it's Oladipo, not Olapido. As Happy Gilmore would say, "Where were you on that one, dip-$#*!?"
