AL ALBERT BACK IN DENVER!




I think that the nuggets have the worst play by play man in the NBA. Seriously this guy needs to back to calling volleyball. The Nuggets and the fans deserve more. Just heard old Al Albert has returned to Denver. Got me thinking maybe he would be a good fit for the Nuggs again
I hope this means we can dump Marlow....Hastings is great, Drew Goodman is great at b-ball 2... so Goodman or Albert.. lose Marlow Please.

I’m quite fond of Marlow and his subtle humor. Hastings and Marlow have great chemistry together IMO

Is Al related to Marv?

Cos I know Marv the biter had a brother that does sports play-by-play.

Also: sometimes I find Marlowe annoying. Then I get mad at myself because it means I left the volume up and don’t have music going.

You can usually tell what is going on with the Yahoo! play by play and the television going about its business without the chatter of the announcers.

Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?

yes Al is marv's bro and

there’s another Albert brother in the business and a son (dont know whose)

Marv is of course the voice of the Knick championship years, round about 140 B.C. and an incredible talent.

Al was the voice of the Nuggets for about 20 years

became associated with the Nuggets as much as David Thompson in the 70’s. I’d love to see Al back with the Nuggets…

I just see Marlowe as a volleyball guy doing basketball.

I think and Hastings and Marlowe make a great pair. I don’t care if he is a volleyball guy doing basketball. There are many more idiots announcing games that are much worse. They have great chemistry together, besides who said you have to be a former player or have to spend your entire career announcing basketball to be a great announcer. God, we have to see worse anytime you watch an espn game or tnt game!

I completely agree

If you asked me two or three years ago, I’d say yes, replace Marlowe.

But his comments have become increasingly less assinine, and he has showed a more than acceptable progress in his knowledge of basketball to this point. He is still quirky and says stupid things, but they aren’t as bad as they used to be and come off more charming. He does of course have his face palm moments, but they are every game or two rather than 5-10 times a quarter like in ’07 or ’08

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
