Homicide

Thought it was odd Huddo did a Perth game. Is Lachy barred from doing the channel 9 games?

Redhage is so whitebread and boring. Who selects NBL commentators?

I find the Redhage-homicide interactions uncomfortable. Redhage is always up for banter but Williams just rails on him. There were a couple of times Redhage made a joke or a sarcastic comment and Williams flat out said he wasn't funny. I laughed as did lachy.

Redhage single-handedly saved the broadcast on the weekend. Huddo seemed to have nothing to say most of the game, and Homicide has nothing to say unless he's disagreeing with someone.

McQuade is really bad

I don't know about you guys, but I watch basketball to be entertained. I don't care if what he says is offensive or unprofessional, and I don't care if Shane Heal is a bit of a wanker, they both entertain me so I watch. Oh I am sure you'll get more insight from Matt McQuade, but do you really want to hear him say "WWWWROOOAWWWRRRWWWRRWWW" after a "Cammy Gliddon" open lay up? Yeah, no thanks. I'm also not trying to hear two hours of Cam Tradgardh making obscure dad jokes.

Homicide is ok. He is paid to add entertainment value. A lot of fans outside of Perth actually appreciate him standing up to the biased likes of Reid and Redhage etc Dont take it all too seriously all part of the entertainment package.

Any player that enters into a business deal with Heal must be intensely stupid.

"You realise the NBL is encouraging him, right?"

Yep. They put him on as many broadcasts as possible. I guess they consider him the key man to their broadcast product.

It's not about Perth, it's the thing's he saying is not professional. Never hear an AFL commentator bag Collingwood?

Arrogant? When you have high standards it's what you expect as a club and the money we pay you expect to get your money's worth.

His a toss!

Absolute wang chomper of a commentator.

NBA has analysts like Doris who have INTEGRITY. NBL has footy bozos and this troll and it is holding the league back.

Love him. Its only Perth fans sooking. Who are the most arrogant fans in Australia. Tasting your own medicine and you dont like it.

As a perth fan, it's actually hilarious watching how triggered some of the "red army" get. I wish were there were another name for these fans!

Used to hate him, but I can tolerate him now. Says some stupid stuff but once you accept him for what he is there for and just embrace the troll and meme that he is, he's tolerable

You realise the NBL is encouraging him, right?

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll.

The powers that be are quite convinced that he's a good thing for the broadcast, and they become more convinced of this the more people talk about him whether good or bad.

So don't feed the troll.

The other commentators know who signs their paycheques.

Was pretty funny today on Twitter (yes I follow him, just so I can troll back, it's pretty funny calling him out on stupid things he says), most fans have named him "pesticide". :D

Best thing us Cats can do is keep winning, however that won't stop him saying the things he does. Fair enough he has an opinion about us season long, but he's such a dumbarse he'll keep spitting shit even if Cats go undefeated 10 games in a row, and Cotton averaging over 25pts. The other commentators will get sick of it and start calling him out too.

Never heard a commentator in any other league talk about a team or fan's the way he does. Our product is going so well on the court. Commentators need to promote not provoke a team's supporters.

You feed him because it does your head in! His a troll but he brings it to the broadcast which baffles me that they let him go on about the pathetic things he says.

He’s got nothing else (apart from insightful comments like “New York City in the house tonight”)

I can tolerate him now because I’ve realized that they have two commentators on the broadcast plus a broken down comedian who got a laugh with a line about 5 years ago and has been pushing it ever since. Have to feel sorry for him really.

As long as people keep feeding the troll, he's going to have a job.

We had great talk with Rob Rose about how the NBL needs to improve, who the greatest NBL player is and more. He also talks about his career playing in the NBA, why he had so much fun in Adelaide and what he thinks of Mike Dunlap! Was a great chat.
