My issue with Stacey is his being so repetitive. Once in the pre game and at least twice in the first half he repeated that the media keeps asking about what's wrong with the Lakers that they can't win and they should be looking at the Bulls and how good they are playing being 2nd in the East. OK you made your point, move on
First off I don't really care about the replacements. They are the backups for a reason. Moving on, Stacey doesn't put any effort into his job. He doesn't research other players or teams or hell even Chicago beyond a superficial average fan's level. He can point out a bad rotation or a bad decision but so can the average fan when slowed down on replay. This stuff isn't rocket science. As you said he repeats himself endlessly. He's got a few talking points "Bulls can't get complecent here" or "Zach just gotta let the game come to him, he's got help now" or "Ayo just has to slow down a bit there and find his veteran". He probably just writes a few things down pre game that he wants to talk about and that's the extent of his research.
But all that's fine, that's par for the course for broadcasters, most of them are hired because they are a former player or coach and have that cache with the average fan. But what really gets me about Stacey is just how mean he can. The cat barber stuff last night, like wtf? Going on and on about his name just isn't cool. And he picks on random opposing players constantly. Talk up the Bulls man, both sides are full of professional players.
The hypocrisy of a mediocre player (at best) that never worked on his game, never game much of a damn on the court, never really got into good shape -- critiquing players so harshly just rubs me the wrong way man. Like if King wasn't born 6-10 with a little lateral agility he wouldn't have sniffed the NBA. I'm not saying King wasn't a worker, he certainly worked to get to the NBA, but so did all the guys he's yelling on and on about how bad they are. Just praise our team man.
