Punch Matt Harpring in the face night.

Harpring and Boler were both awful tonight. I think Boler had a few too many 5 Hour Energys before the game - he was talking at 100 mph and was mixing up words and stumbling over his own sentences constantly.
 
So we win tonight.....

Y'all just need something to bitch about?

Y'all need to get laid, or get girlfriends/boyfriends.

Pathetic.

That 3 pointer would have tied the game. -- Matt Fartpring

That was an amazing moment in broadcast stupidity.

It started when Houston called the timeout and he quickly screamed out that he didn't know why Houston was calling a timeout. At first, I thought I misheard because, I mean, why wouldn't the Rockets call a timeout? Did he magically expect them to push the ball up court in 2.2 seconds for the game-winning score?

Of course not.

So then he starts rambling about how Utah needs to foul. At this point, I've realized Harpring has had a minor stroke and is suffering live on national television.

But then he fully ***** himself with this insane idea that Utah needs a three pointer to tie the game.

Looks like Matt has suffered one too many head injuries during his football playing days.

Come on he is just a rookie. He is only what 38 years old? He has so much potential. Every now and then he sounds just like Walton, sometimes with flashes of Hot Rod and Boone. He will be the next great announcer. He just needs the time and minutes to develop. Sure his confidence is off, but when he gets the green light and the starting nod he will be what we all expect him to be, the next Chick Hearn.

Instant Classic!

"See, the thing is, you have to learn the ropes. You have to be willing to put yourself on the line every night. You have to go all out. That's Matt Harpring. He's a warrior. The guy is physical. He played football on a faked trip to the moon. He's willing to leave it all on the line anywhere he is--in the booth, on the court, doing a weight challenge--he's goinna give you everything he's got.

"The thing oranges do right is they just sit there right on the table wanting to roll. But what you got to do is you got to pick at them to get them to roll. They don't just roll on their own. But if you're the orange, you have to let your point know you want to roll. That's what orange there didn't do, see. Orange didn't look the lanes and let his picker know he wanted to roll."

--Hubie Brown teaching Matt Harpring proper color technique.








Harpring for president!
 
This was mentioned by me and a few others in the game thread, but deserves another for the total lack of irony on Harp's part and the awkward silence that followed . . . I mean you'd think if Boler had an ounce of actual respect for Harp he would have tried to rescue the latter in some fashion, but no . . .

Harp: "That was disturb . . . able" . . .

Boler: um, ok, moving on...
 
A little off topic but did anybody hear the Sportscenter announcer's laughing at Locke today? Harpring is definitely becoming annoying as a color guy but at least Locke is not doing the TV show. I would have to stop listening to the TV announcers and find the radio broadcast. And it would not matter who was doing that broadcast because Locke is the worst announcer I have ever heard.

Agreed. They need to get that homeless black guy that was in the news last week. That guy has pipes.

Didn't Cleveland already sign him?

I wouldn't miss Harpring if he left. At least I wouldn't have to hear that stupid "pants on the ground" thing again and again.
