You're bringing up some good points Toledo. I forgot about the hairline comment. I agree, that was weird and inappropriate. I'm tired of the krutstache comments, but used to them now. I don't find it interesting that someone grew a mustache. This isn't 8th grade.
But I think the reason Kaifes and Wojcik didn't receive much time is because this was a tough series. This was not the series to let the 8, 9 and 10 get some minutes in. It's interesting that Hebb received a fair amount of minutes and those two didn't though. But based on the way Hebb played, I can't say I disagree. I'm sure he is progressing in practice and Porter sees value in giving him more minutes. Kaifes has been disappointing this year. I'm not sure how much of it can be attributed to an injury that he experienced a year and a half ago.
Speaking of injuries, I wonder when we will see Big Frank again. I think he will have an impact when he returns.

Being a habitual purveyor on Ramblermania of off-topic and offensive-to-some comments myself, I find it difficult to understand some people's intolerance or impatience with occasional whimsical divertissements.

Sure it's juvenile to comment on mustaches or receding hairlines, but I never laughed harder or more often than when I was in 8th grade, so I still have a soft spot in my heart for "juvenile" humor. (As should be obvious from my posts.)

I mean if a game is televised how much do we really need an announcer describing the action happening before our eyes or an "expert" explaining the obvious?

I prefer announcers who make me feel like I'm sitting with them in the stands discussing the game like buddies would. Those conversations often veer into amusing tangents that are more memorable than what's happening on the court.
Harry Carey built a Hall of Fame career doing it this way.

There's a lot that's not captured by the camera. Without going into detail, there were a bunch of things this weekend that needed explanation that the announcers totally ignored because they were in the middle of one of these tangents. On a different note, there are far too many human-interest closeups like the face of the guy who just got yanked that linger past when the action has started back up.

I confess I'm more of a "human interest reaction shot" fan than most.
Two of my favorite moments during our Miami tourney game were Jake Baughman storming the court while twirling the towel and Laranaga clutching his head in disbelief after Donte's buzzer beater.
I guess the question with announcers is striking the proper balance between straight game reportage and fluffier stuff.
Where that balance lies is a matter of personal preference...but my personal preference is the correct kne.

My feeling is NBC Sports should make sure the score is on the screen and there's not a giant "Keys to the Game" graphic covering half the court (during play!) before worrying about the human interest stories.
