I'll give you Sunderland, but the hate for Meyers is surprising to me. I think he's an excellent play by play guy, and Spero seems overrated. He does have that "voice", but I don't get what the fuss is about him. Meyers knows his stuff through and through, I think it's a shame they're ditching him and I feel for him. His insight was appreciated by me I didn't mind him giving some back ground on players. I have no idea how that could be a bad thingOriginally Posted by Kookcle
First it was Paul Sunderland who keeps saying "Los Angeles Lakers" instead of just "Lakers"..so annoying
Joel Meyers ,whoever is on the TV screen, always brings up the age,school and hometown....
" He's a young man out of the Valley who went to UCLA.....or .....He's a 26 year old guy from Arizona...blablabbla"
it got annoying after a while

Yes! I usually mute the tv broadcast & listen to the radio, this is awesome
YES!
[h3]RANKING THE PLAY-BY-PLAY MEN[/h3][h3]THE TOP 10[/h3]
1. SPERO DEDES: Lakers radio, 570-AM
When his contract comes up in a couple of months, the Lakers should do the right thing: Invest in the city's future by making him the permanent TV voice, with the stipulation that he moves to radio when a network takes custody of a game in the regular season and throughout the playoffs.
[h3]THE BOTTOM 5[/h3]Spoiler [+]2. NICK NICKSON: Kings radio, 1150-AM
Thirty seasons with the team covering more than 2,500 broadcasts, the broadcast booth named after him ... when does he move into that Hall of Fame wing?
3. RALPH LAWLER: Clippers TV, Prime Ticket
At last, "Oh me, oh my!" has some context with Blake Griffin. We'll even consider fastening our seat belt.
4. BILL MACDONALD: College basketball and football TV, FSN West/Prime Ticket
Why wouldn't the Lakers consider him a regular radio play-by-play man if Dedes goes to TV?
5. VICTOR ROJAS: Angels TV, FSW/KCOP
We get the feeling Rory Markas would approve. As do we.
6. JEFF LASKY: Lancaster JetHawks radio
Good things will come for those whose career currently is a loop between Bozeman, Montana and the Antelope Valley Freeway.
7. CHRIS FISHER: USC basketball radio, 710-AM
USC director of broadcast operations Ann Beebe agrees Fisher "runs a nicely paced broadcast, with excellent and sometimes humorous exchanges with colorman Jim Hefner, and pushes through adversity" as he did during the recent road trip to Arizona because of illness.
8. JIM WATSON: Galaxy TV, FSW/Prime Ticket
It's either perseverance or having too much fun. Watty went to five junior colleges, the University of Hawaii and finally graduated nine years later from USC.
9. CHARLEY STEINER: Dodgers radio. 790-AM
Keep us engaged in the conversation, and we'll laugh right along with you.
10. PAUL SUNDERLAND: College basketball TV, Prime Ticket/FSW
Continues to add class and a comfortable voice to any assignment he's given.
Honorable mention: David Caldwell, CSUN basketball and baseball; Allen Hopkins and Patrick O'Neal, college basketball TV; Brian Seimen, Clippers radio; Larry Burnett, Sparks TV; Randy Rosenbloom, high school sports TV; Chris Roberts, UCLA football and basketball radio; Chris McGee, high school football, Prime Ticket; Tom Kelly, high school football Internet; Al Epstein, Pepperdine sports; Steve Carroll and John Ahlers, Ducks radio and TV.
1. THE USUAL SUSPECTS
In the spirit of eliminating divisive rhetoric, and having already critiqued their shortcomings to the fullest extents of the laws of nature, hoping they may change for the better but finally giving up any hope of that, our solution now would be to put JMeyers, TSmith and ECollins aboard one of the free mattresses PArbogast hopefully got in an endorsement deal and watch them have one giant pillow fight over superiority in this category. They can each take turns doing the play-by-play.
The only problem I have with this is who the hell are they going to get to replace him on radio.Originally Posted by kingferic

"Amare posed on the front of [a magazine] butt naked!" Artest said. "OK, is that tough?"

Glad Ralph is getting the recognition he deserves.
BTW: Stu Lantz is annoying, Chick Hearn's greatness made him seem like a good color commentator but he's overrated. I'm sure he's going to join Spero on the new Lakers network , but they should weigh all their options.

Like I said yesterday, regardless of the Jazz and GS games, we have @ Port, OKC and SA over the course of 5 days. That's a tough stretch no matter what, there was no guarantee we would get all 3 of those, now with losing to the Jazz, they could be REAL important games in terms of holding off Boston or Miami and chasing Chicago. (It's obvious, the SA part is out of the equation now)
