[/quote]Guys like Felger,D.Marshall that haven't got a direct link to the Celtics such as either being a native New Englander or played a professional sport in Boston areas do not carry the same level of info or spirit as say Max who was a Celtic at one time or Tommy.Some of these announcers get these jobs and become very critical of the home teams or just cant relate to what is needed to be said for us fans who know a lot of history of the teams and do not need to be told over and over(Marshall).

On the commentary:
I disagree. Max really wasn't doing much for me. He doesn't have the passion for the team, and neither does Felger. I like a little more bias for the Celtics and Marshall does a better job of recapping plays from a Celtics perspective by far. Speaking of Felger...
Geez, Felger really doesn't believe what he says, and I don't think he really listens, either. He just sticks to three (or less) talking points which are usually trashing some unconventional player like TA or Iverson. It seems like someone is paying him to pretend to like basketball...oh yeah...
He made me miss Tanguay, and Max made me miss Tommy and Couz.
Go Celts!
