Poll: The broadcast team- Who should be working with Steve Martin?
If there are any new people that we have yet to see in this whirlwind "Announcer of the day" tour I'll add them to the poll. But I'm interested to see who you guys prefer to fill Henry Williams' old seat.

I hate the fact she's a complete homer. I believe that if our guys screw up it should be pointed out, perhaps a little nicer than if the opposing team, but being a Bobcat does not mean you don't make mistakes.Originally Posted by Chef
Williams was horrible about this. My fav was when playing the Magic, Dwight had 45 and he said "its ok, you know he's going to get his". Uh...he doesn't average 45, so allowing him approx twice his average is ok? Come on.
I'd like to hear Steph and Alaa together as the broadcasting team.
I'd rather get rid of Steve Martin - who I am not a fan of at all.
Where is Henry going?
that is true. i like to hear my announcers be homers but like us...love the cats but not afraid to criticize. i just hate the bland national media types.
Slam,
On this you and I agree. I think Stephanie can be more objective but is being "respectful" of Martin who has been a local staple.
I actually enjoyed Alaa as he provided legitimate, unscripted insight on the fly of what was going on on the court. Too often I feel as though our broadcasts are slanted to make a point and the things that don't support that point are just glossed over.
That said, I doubt Steve is going anywhere.
Isnt Ms. Ready having a baby?.... Doesnt that mean we'll just have to vote again on who replaces her?
I would much rather have her doing the play by play. As man i love seeing a woman talk about sports. She knows the team and players and knows basketball.
Muggsy was horrible, He couldnt talk clearly and keep calling players by the wrong name.
Alaa was ok, Just has hard name to pronouce
Mike, He's under contract somewhere else and i'm more then happy to leave him there......I wasnt a fan of his as Hornets broadcaster

Kat,
I like Ready as well. Knowledgeable and definitely easy on the eyes (don't kill me feminists!). I like her MORE when she's not paired with Martin, b/c I feel like she spends time humoring him when her independent thoughts, knowledge, and understanding of the gap exceeds his.
