Maybe we can get the dudes from Spectrum Deportes. Have them speak in Espanol. At least we would get our Spanish for the day. I love Duolingo, but could use some practical experience.
No thanks!
Y'all are missing the problem: there are people, rare though they are, who are simply irreplaceable. Most can be identified through one name: Chick, Kobe, Tupac, the Beatles, Biggie, LeBron, Wilt, Elvis, Kareem, Serena, Michael, Barack, Snoop, et. al. And once gone, their replacements invariably look second rate.
Since "winning changes everything," the replacements get a reprieve and there is little negativity. All seems well. But it is not. Notice how there were no announcing problems in the Bubble Year. Same announcers that are getting flack now. Why? WINNING!!!
So until we either start wining or another Chick shows up, save your fire. You will likely hate anyone who has two names

Uh no, I've personally been bitching about these guys since they got the job lol. So winning didn't influence me. Plus in the bubble it was different announcers I think? Don't remember now. And last season was one of the worst in Lakers history. And it didn't come up with anyone else. But I've kept the announcer bias flame a-burnin' a good long while now. And agree Speeru (sp?) was good. John is good on radio, but I don't like his announcing. Or the silver spoon he was born with. But that's another matter lol.

Probably folks had bigger fish to fry; maybe they were more preoccupied with navigating through the Global Malware, which hit us at that point. Lol. Couple that with the untimely passing away of the late great Kobe. There was a paradigm shift in the landscape and folks were struggling with coming to grips with the new world order….some probably still are. But the announcers still stink….lmfao.

Yes, individuals like Chick Hearn are irreplaceable. I understand that. Just because he is irreplaceable, we must settle for at least one announcer who clearly shows more enthusiasm for the other team and is terrible at his job? If that is what you truly believe, I hope you don't run a business. Yes, there is not a lot to "cheer" for at the moment, but for someone who doesn't follow the Lakers, it is extremely difficult to differentiate who Bill MacDonald is announcing for. That is a problem. If you don't see that, that is not MY problem.
Baad, not trying to be a jerk.. I have never been a fan of Billy Mac. I don't mind Stu. He just goes with the flow.
Actually, I think Stu is the worst of the bunch. On every botched play, Stu -- ever the perfect coach -- tells is what HE would have done. Stu -- coach or STFU. If anyone came here from Mars, they would never know Stu was an ex-Laker. Big Game James knows the exact amount of Lakers pride to show without being obnoxious. So you might say I am an equal opportunity Lakers-announcer hater. (Spero was the only good one BTW.)
As to my bigger point: we would not be talking about announcers if we were winning. "Monk's three point shooting is instrumental in our 17 game winning streak" would replace ""AD shooting 17% from three point line and the announcer has got to go."
