    I like them both. They don't stop the broadcast to shine light at what they ate or other stupid stuff.

    Initially i wasnt a fan. Sounded a bit monotone at times. However, I have grown to appreciate him more now. I'd keep him.

    Hollins is great. He gives a sense of what’s happening on the rockets bench. For example - during the Hornets games he was adamant in telling the fans what Silas was doing as he was coaching.

    Hollins is still really embarrassingly stupid, but I guess it could be worse.

    Gotta love the bit where he was trying to gaslight everyone into thinking KPJ missed what would be the game clinching FT on purpose.

    Honestly, as I’m watching the game I’m not even paying attention to what they are saying. The announcers are just background noise.

    He's alright I dont mind him. His high energy spurts doesnt seem much different than Chris Webber or Kenny Smith when they're hyping up a moment. Dont necessarily have to be a fan all your life to do that. It doesnt detract from the game much for me. Chemistry with Craig & team while come in time (in fairness, the on-court product doesnt give anyone anything to work with, thats tough in a new role)

    Idk how y'all could have listened to him in my Space and still not been a fan, but I'm gonna guess y'all didn't tune in.

    Do it next week.

    Now they're all gonna go to myspace.com. :D

    I've liked Big Goofy since he first showed up. He sometimes gets a bit too excited and sometimes does say a thing here or there that makes you say "wth?" and maybe messes up a name here or there, but overall a great improvement over what we had and actually gives pretty good info during the game without it being robotic spewing of stats andd data.

    It's early but he talks too much and should let Craig get some more comments in.

    Last couple games they've been screwing with each other a bit, becoming a pretty good pair honestly.

    I really like our announce team, have you actually listened to some of the others around? The Bucks team the other night had me on suicide watch they were so monotone and uninteresting.

    Sometimes he gets too into the game and too excited.
