Gorman had some personal matters to take care of or so they said. He will be back Wednesday.

Gary Tanguay sounds like he's never played a game of basketball in his life. Guy gets excited over simple layups.

GT is bad. I'm not sure why he has a job

I couldn't help bu laugh when he would go crazy for a fairly routine play...overall, I'd rate him at an F-

Mike Gorman had a death in the family and has been attending to those matters the past 2 games. He's due back on Wednesday against the Hawks.

This is really my one and only complaint. He's actually not so bad at play-by-play, but he gets WAY too animated over rather simple or unexciting plays. One thing I've noticed though is Tommy seems much more animated and upbeat than he does with Mike...and don't get me wrong, I love Mike...

Damn you guys are harsh! Gary's alright as a fill-in. Tough crowd...damn!

Greg Dickerson would do better play by play than Gary Tanguay. That's sad.

Um, no way. I used to hate Gary more than Greg but ever since Greg has been doing the sideline **** it's the other way around, now...Greg knows EVEN LESS than Gary!

He really does make watching the games difficult with his hyping up every play.

The other thing that irks me is every time Tommy says something remotely funny (and most of the time it's not) Gary laughs hysterically and loud.

He's almost like the little dog from cartoons back in the day jumping on the bulldogs back yelling "You and me are friends! Right Spike? You and me are friends!"

So glad there is someone else who knows this classic Looney Tunes reference! And you're so right...

Yes. That bothered me the most. He makes Ed McMahon look self-respecting.

I thought Tommy was on is A game last night. Tommy was so upset at the ref Tommy said this about the ref "look at him chewing away on that gum, while I'm over here chewing on my finger nails". You got to love Tommy. He was so upset with the ref last night he couldn't even stand too see the man chewy gum. I've been there before Tommy.
