Cousy Out, Heinsohn Scaled Back at CSN

NOOO! i HATE donny marshall!! this had better have been a mutual agreement between tommy and csn due to health issues, or i swear i’ll get league pass, just so csn doesn’t get my business, and i don’t have to listen to donny blab about how he knows how these guys feel and think because he was a bench warmer for the nets. what a tool! i’d rather wave scal and have him announce then have donny do it. they call it color commentating for a reason, you color up the basics. tommy’s the man at this, and donny is as black and white (no color whatsoever) as a zebra.

Hey Jeff, is tonight game being televise other than CSN and Direct TV. I’m in Fla. and a cable customer.NBA league Pass dosn’t offer Pre-season Game. Can you get CSN via internet.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

You had to figure Tommy would get (sick and) tired of doing road games. Cous, too bad. You’ve gotta love his cynicism.

Please, someone. Can I get CSN via the internet. Thanks

All good things must come to an end eventually. My favorite games were when Tommy and Cous teamed up. Cous with the “shoots well from the pewifiwy (periphery)”, Tommy with the outrageous bias. Just the best! I’ve got to believe that it is Tommy’s preference.

I disagree w screwedupmainiac re. Donnie. Somebody should teach him how to dress a little better but I think he’s got refreshing opinions.

Bring back SCOTT POLLARD!

Hey, whats ML Carr doing these days?

I don’t have any issues with this…I love cousy and all but he does not have the voice for commentary point blank.. I also don’t dislike Donny like alot of you, as a matter of fact I like him. and to the person asking where to watch comcast sportsnet online…no offense but go look for yourself at google

This is sad, although the handwriting has been on the wall for awhile now with Heinsohn having cut back on away games so much. Those who like Donny, sure are attracted to style over substance, he comes across smooth on the surface, but he really has nothing to add/say, and his name-dropping and acting like he is a retired legend of the game gets tiring. As far as the new graphics, Comcast better keep working on their production value, they made mistakes befitting of a rookie last year and already carried it over to this year. They had this technique, loving to use their close-ups with HD, of showing a player who just made a play, a block, etc., as the play moves up court, they show a close-up of this player trailing the play, missing the current action.

This reared its ugly head again Wednesday, as the producer somehow thought showing us a close-up of an embarrassed Ratliff after having missed a dunk, right as Pruitt launched the lob pass to Walker downcourt was important, only cutting back as the ball was being flushed through, we had to wait for the replay to see the whole play. This happened constantly last year, treating it like baseball where you have time for all the face shots, not hoop where the play keeps going. Do we really need to see a close-up of the player who just made the previous play, at the expense of the current action? Comcast will have to do more than add a seemingly charismatic, youthful presence and nifty new graphics to impress me.

Cousy is the best. Tommy is an insufferable blowhard. CSN is going with youth and looks. In the words of Hyman Roth, “Because this is the business we’ve chosen!!!”

Donnie Wahlberg always did a good job when they had him on as a guest. Too bad CSN didnt hire him on instead of Donnie Marshall. Road games last year when Marshall was doing commentary I had to watch the game with no sound. Now Marshall will be doing all road games Yipeeee.

tommy is the primo bball voice. will miss him on the road. donny is good and bad but is not as bad as some are stating. mike will help him out.

Marshall isn’t nearly as bad to merit all of this abject panic.

I’ll miss Cousy’s telling it how it is. He’s the anti-homer and a brilliant basketball guy. Tommy, while being equally as brilliant and likewise, a national treasure, is too much of a homer. Cousy was appropriately absolutely brutal the first 3 years of the Rivers regieme.

As long as Gorman is still around we have a link to the past.
