Well we kind of found that out last week.Originally Posted by endlessHIMdark
Am I the only one who wanted to throw up a little bit when reading this:
I didn't listen to the radio/online broadcast all that much unless I was on the road headed from Baton Rouge, leaving the home games or the games weren't televised and I'd just listen online but this should be interesting seeing as DeShazier always struck me as someone who never seemed to really like reporting on the Hornets although his articles seemed like an opinion blog mostly. And not to mention he talks with a lisp.
What's Avery Johnson up to?

Evrybody wins.
DeShazier's voice annoys the crap out of me. I'm sorry, and I know this isn't his fault, but people with bad lisps just shouldn't be announcers (except for Mike Mayock with NFL Network - love that guy). He should just stick to writing.Am I the only one who wanted to throw up a little bit when reading this:
Horrible move on the Hornets' part.

They need to let me do color commentary.
Think they could use a pseudo-James Earl Jones, Barry White, Hilary Clinton flare in New Orleans radio.
Edit: I mean George Clinton.

Jim Henderson ?? voice of the Saints AND Hornets/Pelicans/Krewe/Basketball Saints/Murder Birds.
I never learned a thing about the game of basketball while watching on tv. I'm sorry to see Gerry V leave because he was constantly teaching.

I noticed Henderson is indeed doing work with Fox 8 now. I don't know if I see him doing Hornets though.
I keeed. But they might want to bring in some ex NBA new Orleans talent to do no nonsense color. Robert Pack for instance. I'm sure there are more out there.

I know you keeed. But think about it. Can you imagine Avery's voice and having to listen to it THAT much? OMG.
Mo Bart?......
It is not as much his voice that annoys me as his complete lack of knowledge. He has shown repeatedly that he is not up to speed on the NBA. Bad move. Having said that. Bob and Gil needed to go. They were terrible and always have been.
That's what is so wierd to me about all this. John D talks with a lisp and frankly has a bit of nasaly voice. He's not been very charismatic in the nola.com videos I've seen him in, he doesn't have anything resembling a traditional "radio voice". I'll reserve judgement til I hear him call a game, but that is really an odd choice. He also hasn't been a very good source of basketball information, IMO. Don't understand it.Well we kind of found that out last week.
Agree with HornetsFan. Their time was done here. Personally, I would keep Gerry V as color analyst and bring in a name play-by-play announcer. But they already parted ways with Gerry V.

New broadcast team announced: Joel Meyers and David Wesley, with Jennifer Hale as the sideline reporter.

Joel Meyers? I've kind of enjoyed his commenting for the Lakers. David Wesley? Are you serious? LOL. D-Dubb. Where in the world did they find Wesley?
this guy knows he is boring....
This is depressing... How am I supposed to understand plays without the Mcgregastrator?
Contributor
wow that would be awesome. that's my uncle.
Wow, watching Hornets games without Bob & Gil will be weird (at first).
I'm certainly going to miss Bob yelling out "Bottom!"
"Yeah Moe that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked!"

Meyers and Wesley sound fine, but Hale? About as qualified to do basketball as I am!!
You work for Mr. B and I guess he takes care of you.
