Can't stand Leander no more !!!!

[Estringonly]

Man, is he annoying. Can't take all his nicknames and just plain goofiness. Just give me Al McCoy and Eddie Johnson and leave Leander somewhere else.

 

[jenna2891]

i'm with you. man, last night when the video went out on the game and he said "well, i guess i'll have to be even more vivid in describing the game for you folks at home." more vivid descriptions? how about describing it at all, tom. i swear, the guy has a stupid anecdote for every player in the nba. he won't tell you why someone's shooting a technical free throw, but he'll be damned if a chance to mention nate robinson's height slips by.

Orange Crush nickname sucks so bad that it hurts

 

[Gee!]

Orange Crush nickname sucks so bad that it hurts

Ive heard him say that a few times and all I think of is the denver broncos.. It royally sucks.. And just what in the .... are we crushing anyways?

I can deal with Leander. Gary Bender is the guy that drives me nuts.

 

[Ryanwb]

Al McCoy need to go. Yeah, I know, I know, but the guy get's confused all the time and maybe it's time to move in a new direction

Agreed. Sometimes it seems like he thinks he's on the radio doing play-by-play. However, I get mildly entertained when Dan Majerle starts ribbing him.

the very best part of tom leander is marjerle's mocking of him.

i remember in a post game interview (with boris diaw, i think) at the very end, tom said something like "and please tell dan majerle to stop picking on me." diaw had this "wtf?" look on his face.

I don't mind anyone except McCoy. I know he's a legend but the "Woopdedoo for two!" gets annoying really fast.

Majerle is funny as hell because he's drunk every single game.

 

[Covert Rain]

It's funny how everybody's tastes are so different. I don't really mind any of the guys. From time to time they all do something annoying but nothing that sends me over the edge at least not like Bill Walton does. Everytime I hear that guy speak I am amazed that he manages to make himself sound dumber then the time before.

Al McCoy couldnt sniff Chick Hearn's jock (assuming he wore one).

Spoken by a true Lakers fan!

Chick's dead so Al's the man

 

[nathan]

While we're on the topic of Lakers broadcasters, their color guy (Stu Lantz) really sucks.

 

[D-Dogg]

Dead Chick could outcall Shazam boy, no contest.

I wouldnt go as far as saying he sucks. I watch a lot of Lakers games (many on the road) and try to keep an ear out for really good and really bad announcers.

Stu is a little silly, but not terrible. Play-by-play man Joel Myers is probably one of the best and isnt too much of a homer.

The Boston guys will make you want to poke needles in your ears.

lol... is that true?

 

[jenna2891]

also, abomb and d-dogg, go away. nobody asked you about the laker's commentators.

Don't come into the Smack Shack. Don't you know that's where Laker fans live?

 

[KingofCards]

Leander is a fool.

I felt like puking yesterday when he was talking Walt Fraisier.

Then he starts using Frazier's "Don King"slizing approach to words.

Walt Frazier equals totally overrated.

If he hadn't played in NY he would be Adrian Dantly

 

[Renz]

Dead Chick could outcall Shazam boy, no contest.

Chick was the best. Always will be.

RIP

 

[Gee!]

Ok, does anyone have an email addy where I can voice my disgust everytime Leander yells "crush!" when Amare dunks? "Crush" does not go with a dunk whatsoever...

 

[High Stakes]

If it aint eddie johnson or dan majerle post toyota club i aint buying

 

[DeAnna]

the very best part of tom leander is marjerle's mocking of him..

I loved it when he wiped his nose on Leander's purple tie
