I disagree with the first part and agree with the second part.
Donnie was awful.

Yea, I love hearing about Scal's illustrious career.

I prefer Tommy, Cousy, or Cowens.

I like Scals fresh take. But to each their own.

He's awesome.
Knows a lot more about modern basketball than any of the other commentary team.
Mixes in his knowledge with humor and I love it.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Maybe 30 years from now he will be heralded as the Bob Uecker of basketball.

Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

I like the fact that he can speak from the standpoint of both a player and coach.  I'd like to see him teach the audience a bit more about the nuances of the NBA game.  At times I've heard him get technical and he kind of assumes the audience completely understands what he's talking about, but I don't think its always the case.

But overall I think he's really good.  Helps that he's working with a complete pro like Mike Gorman.

  First we're talking about Snow and McKie and Claxton, now Bob Uecker. It' way-back day.

Scalabrine talks way too much and he never says anything interesting.
Mike Gorman is the best announcer in all of sports as far as I'm concerned.

Is Scal good? Or is he only good in juxtaposition to Donny? I think he's decent.
