No sizzle on Thunder announcers

So Brian Davis and Grant Long are going to be the Thunder television announcers. Doesn’t excite me. Of course, neither did Bob Licht and Gil McGregor when the Hornets came to town, and I quickly came to enjoy their banter and telecasts.

So I’ve got an open mind.

Davis has a solid resume’. And Long played 15 years in the NBA, averaging 9.5 points and 6.1 rebounds a game for — take a breath — the Heat, Hawks (twice), Pistons, Grizzlies and Celtics. We’ll see if OKC takes to him.

I think this does mean the Thunder needs to hire a local guy to be the third member of the broadcast team, for sideline reports and interviews. A Toby Rowland or Myron Patton or somebody.


Berry Tramel can be heard Monday through Friday from 4:40-5:20 p.m. on The Sports Animal radio network, including AM-640 and FM-98.1. You can e-mail him here and follow him on Twitter @BerryTramel.

Oh Gawd, no. No sideline reporter should be talking with a drunken stupor.
