Am I the only one who thought Bill Walton was being a complete moron by saying Detroit was playing horribly and trash talking them at half time when they were TIED with the Spurs. That guy is an absolute tool.


I don't mind Bill Walton. He's about the only analyst that hasn't been stamped with the sports analyst cookie cutter that everyone in America in every sport has been stamped with. He will say what is on his mind, and most of the time I'd rather hear that if its wrong than hear the usual BS that Greg Anthony or Hubie Brown or Tim Legler will say. Those guys rarely offer anything of substance. So in other words, I'd rather hear a few colorful incorrect words from Bill Walton than hear any of the other guys use 100 words to say nothing. Walton is the closest thing we can get to the European soccer announcers (which are the best in the world for any sport).

I'd be content if they did away with play-by-play and analysis and just played old school hip-hop during the games.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I still think he's pretty much a tool, but I enjoy his analysis the most.
