ok seriously, jack armstrong has been on the air for the raptors for apparently 20 years, according to matt devlin pointing that out during the raps v pistons preseason game. matt devlin has been on air for the raptors for the last 10 years. I have had league pass for years, have heard every teams broadcast team. I would have to say that the raptors commentators are the worst or close to it. Jack has been doing the same high pitched one trick pony act for his entire time with the franchise. And Devlin feels the need to come up with a stupid nickname for every player on the team and call them that for every point, assist or defensive play that they make. Clearly they have a following, or have been blackmailing their bosses who put them on the air. Everyone i know can't stand to hear them call a game. Am i alone here?

For some reason our broadcasting team is incredibly polarizing. I for one love matt and jack but hate Leo. I would really prefer that they not get into politics and I would also like if matt would ease up on the stories and focus on commentary more but I still love them. They have good chemistry and they're exciting.

I dunno, Jack exudes a love of basketball which I respect in ways I can't describe. Matt is a corporate jackass but he's our corporate jackass. Together they make it work. You should be directing your dislike towards Leo whom I cannot fathom why he's still part of the organization. The man has the personality of a wall...not even a brick wall...like a blank, unpainted piece of drywall...yeah he's drywall. And don't get me started on Rod Black...makes me fucking cringe just thinking of that guy.

I find Matt sometimes annoying especially when he raises his voice
Jack has a hoarseness of a voice but he tends to be quite informative.
In total they are sort of middle of the pack, not the worst but not the greatest.
I care more about the product on the floor in general.

1. Jack
2. Matt
10001. Leo
Jacks awesome tho. Funny, passionate, and tells it like it is quite often. He's a throwback to the old baseball announcers from the 80s or something, this wacky old guy, doesn't take himself too seriously but you trust his opinion cause it feels like he's been watching the sport for 600 yearsLast edited by KeonClark; Wed Oct 11, 2017, 09:21 PM.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
