110 - couldn't agree more. I said over on RGM a couple of weeks ago that Steve is like that annoying Uncle who cracks bad joke after bad joke that aren't even close to being funny and Steph is like the distant niece who feels obligated to giggle every time.Quote:

Steph as host, Steve as cohost (put him in that little cubby by the home tunnel) and give steph a good color commentator (maybe find an ex hornet who isnt mugsy "i cant carry a conversation" bogues)
i think its painful listening to ready. she doesnt add anything of sustenance, is not funny, doesnt really have a broadcasters voice and just seems to agree with the other announcer. not to mention her laugh makes me want to mute the tv. she may know tons about basketball and thats great, but her play by play is rough and i dont enjoy watching games she commentates on, maybe with more experience shell get better, but in the few games she has done. it just isnt smooth.
i agree that martin tells bad jokes, but i have never really heard a good game breakdown from ready. Williams knew what was going on to a degree, but more importantly he could bring that across clearly in broadcasting. Cheryl miller and Hubie Brown know whats going on during their national tv broadcasts. Stephany may know whats going on too, but she doesnt know how to get it across and ends up sounding like that giggly no nothing who adds about zero but repeats the same thing over and over. awful. neeeexxxxtQuote:

I like both Steve and Stephanie. I can't believe Henry Williams is getting some love. he was garbage.... you played basketball in Europe under Mike D'antoni... you like shooting, we get it... congratulations.
You just gotta give him that... If Dwight Howard is gonna hit shots from 3-feet away, you just gotta give him that.Quote:

I like Steph, she has a great knowledge of the team and the game, and brings a freshness to Steve's sameness. I didn't mind Muggsy but he would get annoying after awhile. I didn't get the chance to hear Alaa so I can't comment
I don't mind Steve, actually
i voted for Mugsy simply because he is hilarious in a bad way.
Being the nostalgic one, having G-Man and Martin reuinited would kick ass! Both have great voices and had nice play by play/color chemistry.
Ultimately though they could have Mike Patrick and Billy Packer, two of the most irritating, grating, terrible, etc. announcers ever do the telecasts as long as we win.
