no bill walton. the whole western finals on tnt? might be a good thing. i like magic, ej, kenny, and charles. marv and fratello aren't bad. marv and tolbert might be interesting.

That's a start. Now get rid of his clone wannabe, Tolbert...

I get the feeling Tom Tolbert thinks Bill Walton is an idiot. I actually like him.

I agree 100%

You can tell that Tolbert hates bill walton and Waltons love for the lakers. Tolbert always keeps his distance.

Tolbert and Walton is not a good match.

Tolbert is good.
Walton is bad.

I actually enjoyed the suns games on ESPN with Tolbert as the announcer.

COming as a HUGE surprise to everyone here I'm sure, I disagree with BIM. I think Tolbert gets to act the crazy, off the wall guy like Walton tries to be, but he has a FAR superior ability to analyze the game and offer his opinions. Walton's an idiot, Tolbert's just a little weird. I like him.

Could it be his alma mater that causes you to not like him BIM? Hmmmmm?

Oh yeah...there is always that.

I think it has more to do with my listening to the Jim Rome Show each day. Then hearing the CLONE, aka Tolbert, doing a game. I guess it just doesn't sound "fresh." To me he sounds like a younger Deadhead...

Doesn't matter to me, as long as the games are on TNT, Marv, Fratello and CO. are doing the commentary, it's all good with me.

If I have to ever hear freaking Brent Musberger call one more stinking NBA game, it will be too soon.

I know I am in the minority here (go figure), but I like Bill Walton. He used to really bother me, until I started watching him do Clippers games. Then I realized that most of the time he is just trying to be funny. If you just take him as being your big, GOOFY, moron uncle that is trying to be funny I think you'll enjoy him more. Especially when he says things like "Ostertag is having a game for the ages" or "That was the worst inbounds pass in the history of the Clippers organization". It's just funny. Of course if you want serious basketball analysis, he is a pain in the @$$.

Yeah, he's funny, but it gets annoying when his obvious homerism for the Lakers shines through...

I admit, when he's calling other games, he's kind of entertaining.

He's laughable LakeShowMan, but I dont think its intentional. I dont think he's intelligent enough to be so purposefully awful. I think he's just awful.

You are very likely correct. I still get a kick out of him though.
