Yeah, I actually just went and saw some highlights of Swirsky saying crazy things. Yeah, I totally agree with you about having to step back a little to understand your own commentators... I used to love our own guys, until one day it dawned on me that they pretty much screamed every time we made a three. That's gotta be annoying for opponents and is the same thing I probably find "bad" in another commentator. Heh, thanks for the input altRaps (and mW, of course).

You might hear some dissenting views on our announcers, though. Chuck Swirsky is considered to be quite the homer in these parts and it was really apparent when he made an aboutface with respect to Vince when he left. While here, Vince was "the man" right up until the end. Then, as a Net, he was always "lazy" and "let his team down". That started the hate-on and it continues to this day. That said, it sometimes takes a new set of ears to make us appreciate what we have. Myself, I still loathe him, but listening to other broadcasts around the league, I admit he isn't as bad as some. Great breakdown.

Scary game in the 4th. That said, I think when you let up 19 and 12 to Bosh and Rasho in one half and 2 and 2 in the second, you're looking good. CP, DX, and Peja were firing on all four cylinders, and despite their late lapse, the Hornets proved that they're one of the premier teams in the league. Amazing game through 3.
