What did Webber say about Walton at halftime? I missed it... but I agree please take away Walton's mic.....
They were interviewing Webber on the court at halftime and the reporter asked Web something to the effect of how he was playing such a great all around game (points/rebounds/assists). Webber replied back with something about not listening to what acommentator says, maybe referring to the fact that Walton has been dissing Webber for not taking enough shots or the big shots.

I hate all three of them... Like Stu Lantz said on his 570 AM radio show, NBC announcers give too much opinionated commentary. They should be telling the game like Chick and Stu. Good announcers are like news reporters. They are suppose to telll you what's happening in the game play-by-play and its technical aspect, but instead these dumbasses criticize players and give their thoughts how each team should play.

It takes a lot for me to start cursing at the TV, but I just can't contain myself to scream out "SHUT UP BILL" everytime he says anything.

You wouldn't believe how true that is for me. I've done the same exact thing. I can't believe that ABC/ESPN doesn't realize that all fans hate Walton. I've never talked to any basketball fan who has thought he was decent.

I think Walton says a lot of off the wall and controversial stuff just so people talk about him and he gets more publicity. NO ONE in real life can really be that stupid.

Have you ever worked with the public? I can assure you, you are mistaken ;)

Yes, yes, yes, NO ONE could possibly be that stupid, AND ANNOYING!!

I've thought long and hard about this, and decided: Bill Walton is a longer, taller Jerboy!

whoa there cowboy, i understand that Walton is taller, but what's all this about "longer"??? Most people don't describe height using the word "longer." They use it to describe other things.

Of course, Walton is "longer" than Jerboy. Have you seen Walton's feet? Foot size doesn't lie, sports fan!

Now, iLoveDivX, when you say that you "love" Divx, are you admitting that your's is spindle sized? :Q ;)

lol I said the same thing to my friend after game 2. I'd like to hear some expert commentary, not frickin Lakers #1 superfan. If I hear "throw it down, big man, throw it down" one more time I'm gonna puke my spleen out onto the coffee table.

he's expanded it and used it for Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson too. That phrase is getting pretty annoying

GRRR. I was just saying to my roommate earlier this game, that walton should be shot & castrated. He's SO god damn bad at commentating. And he's on par with madden with some of the most idiotic, common sense riddled, aids infested commentary I've ever heard.

I HATE BILL WALTON!!! everyone i know who knows anything about basketball hates bill walton!!!! can't stand how he always goes "throw it down big man, throw it down" and how he over exaggerates everything... the nets score 6 points and suddenly they have life in the series!!! they've turned a complete 180! the lakers are on their heels now... you can see them tightening up!!! this is what the nets need, this is how they're going to win!!! (lakers score 2 points) oh no, the spark is gone... new jersey is playing like they've lost the series already... look at the poise, look at the confidence of the defending champs... you can't beat them... (nets score 2)




or how about someone's down by a grip, they score two points and "oh, they're right back in the game... there's no stopping them now...!!! AAAHHHH I HATE HIM!!!! HATE HATE HATE HATE.... someone shoot him!!!!

he is so biased towards players in the paint since he was a center. like he is the bigger proponent of having webber post up every time he touches the ball.

Bill Walton is an idiot. I have been harping about him for the past four years. I can't stand him. None of my friends can stand him.

I wouldn't mind NBA coverage if Walton and Jim Grey weren't around.
