    Default Pa Announcer

    In my opinion the Bobcats really need a more "professional" sounding PA announcer. This is the NBA!! There is no place in the NBA for a over the top circus "act". This is the kind of PA announcing you hear at arena football, indoor lacrosse, and indoor soccer games. The PA announcer should have enthusiasm in his voice but this "act" is way over the top. He actually has a good voice and would be a good PA announcer. I'm not sure if it's the Bobcats that require this act or if its just this guys style, but there is no place for that at an NBA game. It really makes it feel like a minor league event. Could you imagine going to an MLB, NFL, or even college basketball game and hearing this style of PA announcing?

    Knowing the Bobcats, they'll replace him and the music with a human beatbox in order to save money

    is there anything good about our team?

    i'll tell you one thing...at least our players are not controversial or bring a bad rep to the franchise (other than the fact that we are not winning)..

    but...jesus, the PA sucks, the uniforms suck, the team sucks, LB sucks...

    You don't like him?

    PA: "Deeeeetroit"
    Crowd: "basketballllllllllllllll"

    I don't know...that's kind of cool the crowd is involved. Our guy just wants to make me wear a headset with 106.1 on.

    its not our announcers fault the crowd refuses to participate in anything... i really dont think he is that bad this year. he stopped the "go cats go" continuously over the baseline which was a huge plus, now he only says it once.

    I mean, if the announcer and the sound effects were off, the arena would be like a library
