This. Great idea. Actually, give him Boler's job.

I love David James. I think he'd be awesome as the TV play by play. But don't team him with PK. PK can be funny on the radio but as a color commentator he'd be worse than both Harp and Boone combined.

I think David James is the best sportscaster in the market. I never thought of him as a potential Jazz play by play guy, but I'll bet he could be good. I love his sense of humor, but I can't listen to his radio program anymore because his co-host is such an idiot. The morning show on 1280 with Hans Olsen is much, much better.

PK (his radio co-host) can be funny. But this only happens maybe 10% of the time. Another 10% is him actually talking about sports. The rest is him going off topic trying to derail attention from the sports conversation so he can focus the spotlight on himself. It's not worth the effort in search for a laugh. It's not like anyone's tuning in for a comedy routine. DJ is always trying to steer him back to the topic which only encourages PK. It is so annoying. But I can't imagine DJ with anyone else.

I don't like Hans Olson, but I've warmed up to Kyle and Jan.

DJ is still the best.
 
I actually think Boler is a good announcer. But, he creates sayings that are sooooo annoying. Here are some of my favs.

* Captain Crunch
* Money
* Jazz Nation
* Early Oop
* Over praising anything AK does

Locke is like nails on a chalkboard. His incessant whining and screeching is enough to make me want to lop my ears off.

This!

Can't stand Locke for play-by-play. I even shelled out the $10 on my phone app last year so that I can listen to the opponent's play-by-play announcer instead. Locke's fine on a radio show, not play-by-play.

Craig is fine for TV. I don't expect him to know basketball inside and out in that role. He is what I expect for a TV personality. He should have a good color man for the basketball sense and Harpring is okay in that. I prefer Booner honestly.
 
Holy ****, I swear every time I read a post by Numberica he's bitching about something (Unless it's about his love child Biyombo). He's like a woman or something really really vaginious.
 
Locke is a stat junkie. I like him as a fan of the Jazz or even a talk show guy (unless he's calling into someone else show where he has to breath into the phone super, super loud). However, no matter how you cut it, Locke does not have the pipes for a play-by-play guy. Plus, he seriously tries way too hard to have a play-by-play personality and says some really stupid **** like, "Ga ga ew la la. Throws downa wicked hammer jammer". Just let it come out naturally, Locke. It would make you sound way less like a douche.

BJack may not know the most about games, but he has a play-by-play voice and is easy to listen to. I don't need my play-by-play guy to be a genius about basketball, I just want him to call the game and give necessary information about the game, players, or coach.

I can't vote in this poll because the three guys you mentioned don't even deserve to sniff Hot Rod's jock strap (though I suspect that all of them regurlarly do that). Every one of them feels like they're spouting the company line. They always go to lenghts to put a positive spin on everything, no matter what we're seeing. I sometimes like Locke's fandom and and analysis, but his play by play delivery is just wierd. Bolerjack only has his job because the ladies once found him attractive. I think that day has passed but Jazz management is too loyal to make a change. Harpring needs to knock off the M&M, fry sauce, and JazzNation act. That stuff all got old really quick. I really miss hippety-hop the belt high dribble, pulls up on a dime and leaves seven cents change, and the cowhide globe hits home!

I'm with you couldn't vote hate them all
 
I want the option to turn off commentary, but still hear the sounds of the game. I want to hear what I'd hear if I were at the game.

Since I doubt that will ever happen, I can't stand Locke and I don't mind Boler. I'd prefer David James.
 
David Locke is 13 steps ahead of Jeff Van Gundy. Listening to Locke's play-by-play makes me want to cram screwdrivers into my ears, but Van Gundy is in a class all by himself. That guy is on a level of suckass that can't be explained.

Mission not accomplished, Pres. Osama Van Gundy can be found in Memphis, TN in one week.

I'd be the meat in that sandwich if it got me out of listening to Harp.

Wow, you really don't like Harpring, do you... or maybe you're just using this as a convenient excuse to experience a fantasy you've been harboring for years. Now that I think things through, that seems to be the more likely explaination. After all, your television has a volume control, doesn't it? You wouldn't really need to find yourself scrunched up between Ron and Rossie in order to avoid hearing Harp. Come clean now, Brotha.

Guilty, although my original fantasy included Roseanne Barr as the cheese. Two Rosies and some RJ.....Oh yeah, baby.
