Hoping for a fortunate turn of the carousel


Here's hoping for the periodic rotation of NBA announcers to the bench and visa versa leads to some good things for the fans. For starters, someone please hire JVG and Mark Jackson. Listening to those two bozos and Breen-meister is so painful. What a self-referential trio. Collins is another guy I would love to see back haunting sideline huddles. That Kobe-loving, uninformed front runner says almost nothing constantly.

McHale, on the other hand, seems a natural for this work. Kevin has always been a great talker. He has some really funny phrases, and is much less prone to the hyberbole that so permeates NBA commentary. If some of those clowns get the call to coach, maybe McHale will call more games.

Wonder if Mike Brown is any good on the mic?

Joined at the throat


Not that McHale shouldn't suffer some, but being replaced by Rambis has poetic poignancy that really must sting the deposed head Wolfie. Especially if Kurt can turn things around in Minny. I think Rambis is going to do well on the sideline.

Of course, you hafta have enough Wolves if you really want to lead the pack. Rambis will face the same basic problem McHale faced the past several years: Sub par talent and vast inexperience. Coach a team like that in the NBA, and you might get yourself clothlined by the All-Star Break.
