“Trae Young, tweet at us” - after Hawks give up 82 points in the first half
The team is a godsend but we’re also unbelievably lucky to have this commentary crew
I love Scal and Drew so much 🥹
Scal has improved so much
Scal has always been good, it just helps having someone you can banter with that isn’t 80 or 90 years old
Personally, I don’t think he started well. He was an upgrade over Donny Marshall, but he was routinely condescending to the rest of the broadcast team as the only former player in the room. He has definitely toned that way down and he’s become a really measured and insightful commentator with a strong personality and he thinks quick in the moment. Greater ritter with Drew too. Total 180 to me.
I agree that he definitely improved a lot. The chemistry with Drew has grown, which obvi takes time. Drew is fantastic.
I’ll always miss Mike and Tommy. I especially loved Mike. Celtic legends, both of them.
I’ll also always remember going to a game in like 2005 in Boston and watching Tommy house like an entire large pizza at halftime. Hustled to get it all down as fast as possible. Tommy point
I love Tommy as a Celtics legend, but I would watch ESPN coverage over him if a game was on both. The homerism was hard to watch. Also, the jokes were really old and corny. Tommy was an amazing human and had so many great accomplishments. But our broadcasts were in a rough place.
One thing I miss with Mike is having a guy who was a lifelong fan of the team. Drew is more of a hired gun. But Drew is great and I would love for him to stick around long-term.
I think he’s complained less which is a major and fair criticism of his early years
I think he didn’t want to step on Mike and then was feeling out working every night with Drew. By the end of last season they were exactly like they are now.
Best commentary team around
He has. He really was a bully the first few years. It wasn’t good. It was like he was trying too hard for an Inside the NBA vibe, but he just sounded like he was harassing everyone.
He has really toned it down with Drew. Scal is great now. Was great last year and even better this year.
I remember not too long ago people were hating on Scal and calling for his job.
Thats my dude man cant imagine watching a game when hes not calling it, hed honestly be awesome on national broadcasts and people would love him.
Sometimes he gets a bit off task but his calls are pretty dialed in.
Place is empty at halftime.
people was talking so much smack about young and look at the team now.. they cant even put up points, even though Hawks would’ve lost anyway but with young the score would look much different 🤣🤣 too bad now, Yall traded him away for salary DUMP, what a disgrace/disasterÂ
