Fire Leo Rautins Petition

[KeonClark]

Could we start a petition to stop frivolous petitions?

I think you just broke the universe

[Joey]

Meet the vampires in NO............

As always, Matt looks like a total Dweeb, and Leo looks pretty damn cool.

And to be honest, this is the MOST awkward pose ever by Matt. Ever.

[Superjudge]

This entire thread is embarrassing.

[GoldenBaller]

This is entirely unnecessary, It's not like he's a Buck Martinez or anything so there's absolutely no need to fire him.

[Nilanka]

I'm surprised that 8 people actually signed the petition. That's 7 more than I would've expected....

[The Great One]

Lock this thread petition.

Like Craig said, this entire thread is embarassing.

Let's get drunk.

When Leo says:

"Why would you jump on a pump fake?" DRINK
"Why would you block the ball out of bounds? Just grab the ball. That's way more intimidating?" DRINK
"You have to catch the ball in triple threat position. Knees bent." DRINK
"The have to start taking it to hole. The can't start settling for jumpers." DRINK

I don't like him. But to be fair, I have friends that aren't hardcore hoop heads that find him informative. We're just too smart for him guys! I imagine he'll be the token canadian commentator until Joel Anthony retires.

"Matt, that's a seven footer out there".

LOL. I love the level of vitriol that Leo inspires. If you've never had the pleasure of meeting Rautins, I can assure you he is much more unlikable in person....

You embarrass quite easily I take it..

[JimiCliff]

Dunno, he'd be a miracle worker if he could make Leo anything slightly more than lifeless, but I'd rather not think about Leo as a play by play commentator.

Jack and Leo would never work together, seeing as they're both analysts. My point was about the Jack/Matt - analyst/play-by-play man relationship. I don't think that chemistry is special; I think Jack would get along great with any other play-by-play man.

Really? You have a story? I wanna hear!

I typed up a response but decided I can't share. He's just one of those people that instantly rubs you the wrong way. You know that condescending, arrogant tone he uses on TV while he name drops and reminds everyone he played in the NBA? Yeah, it's no different in real life.

Am I the only one that doesn't care who the commentators are? My only complaint is how biased they are towards the raps

Biased? They're hardly biased.

[Jangles]

All 3 have some annoying tendencies, but all in all I've never not enjoyed a raps game because of them. If Jack ever stops scaring the crap out of me with his random BACAADIs, that would just be icing on the cake.

What I would like to hear is completely unbiased commentators who aren't afraid to say when one of our teammates actually does something wrong. This would help to educate the common fan so people stop thinking that Bargnani is good (as an example from a few years ago)
