[ClutchFans] Bill Worrell planning retirement, Craig Ackerman to take over road TV duties

This whole "Bill is too much of a homer, not fair to the other team's fans" thing is such a joke. I want our guys to be homers. I really don't care what a bunch of millenials on reddit think about our broadcast, they don't have to watch if they don't like it.

 

I agree. That's the one thing that would actually make me purchase league pass again this year.

 

I like Ackerman. I think he has what it takes to do the job just as well.

 

One of the greats!

 

Am I missing something here?
Old decrepit Bill worell doing a road game over ackerman?
Wonder if his high pitch annoying tone of his got to do with this.

 

Heard Craig say Bill was asked to do this game by the team/network.

 

I appreciate bill’s service but FINALLY!

 

Oh how sweet it is, I usually muted the sound when watching rockets with craig or watch the other teams broadcasters unless its the fakers,spurs and j*zz announcers.

 

Craig is doing radio tonight. He said on Twitter that This is Bill’s only road game of the year.

 

Old people LOVE Florida!! Bill would never miss an Orlando trip!!

 

Prolly wanted to see his side b****. Worrell pop that viagra tonight

 

Love me some Bill.
Without him Rockets broadcasts are meaningless to me other than just watching the Rockets. I grew up with this man being the voice of my childhood passion.
Him, Gene and Jim are voices I will NEVER forget.

 

I could listen to gene Peterson read the ingredients off a shampoo bottle.

 

I wonder how he met his sick chick.. “ Hello everybody this is Bill Worrell with my wingman Clyde Drexler- You are watching Dallas Mavericks Basketball”

 

They should da at least 5-10 games as a throwback night where the commentary is Bill and Calvin. You get some great banter from those two

 

I seriously miss the days of Bill and Calvin. Not a fan of Ackerman, so it was a true treat to hear a true television voice and legend do the game last night. The Ackerman and Bull combination sounds like something you would hear for a high school game on public access cable.

 

I miss those days too! I just like Bill better. He's like Calvin, just a part of our history. Ackerman's whiny voice is annoying.

 

Hoping that the new owner thinks like us and drops Ackerman from the telecast and keeps him where he belongs which is on radio. He does a good job on the radio, but weirdly does not have a television type voice and personality.

 

I wasn't a fan of CA at first, but I think he is learning and has gotten a lot better.
