    Any word on who's calling the game tonight?

    Just interested in who is calling the game on TNT tonight. I thought ESPN did a horrible job Saturday with Jon Barry calling the game. Did he not get off at least 43 times talking about Derrick Rose? It was sickening. Thank god we dont have another game scheduled (2-4) on ESPN.

    Might be Reggie and Kevin Harlan - although they might be doing the Heat game tonight.

    Merv and Steve Kerr who did the Knicks vs Celts last night are doing that tomorrow night. So it won't be them.

    So that leaves maybe McHale or Mike fratello.

    Sorry I'm not really narrowing it down for you

      I would take Ian Eagle, the guy that called the Thunder/Nuggets game last night.

        It would be really special to have Reggie call a Pacers playoff game, which means that the network probably thought it was a bad idea and won't let it happen...

              I think it was from Wells on Twitter, but I read it, too.

                Dick Stocton isn't bad, but Webber? C'mon...we would get the worst announcer on TNT, if you even call him that.

                    I will be fine with anyone other than the people who called the game Saturday.

                      agreed. i honestly thought that game had the most biased commentary that i have ever heard. this is coming from a colts fan that has to put up with dan dierdorf.

                        I didn't realize TNT had 5 sets. Dick and CWebb? Not sure that is good. That is 5th string guys right there.

                            They tend to mix it up

                            There's

                            Albert/Fratello
                            Harlan/Miller
                            Stockton/Harlan
                            Barkley and Webber occassionally are thrown in to either of these pairings.

                              I'm just glad its not on ESPN with Jon Barry. That guy is just horrible and can't stay off D-Rose's nuts. I know he's got his foot in his mouth after he basically gave the Hornets no chance to beat the Lakers on Sunday.
