Mark Jones named new TV PBP voice

[KingsFanSince85]

Given time, I believe you’ll see more ’homerism’ out of Jones. Once he fully acclimates with the franchise and city. Only makes sense.

gotta say, really love how the Kings have taken the Knicks formula of top ESPN play-by-play guy and goofy former player who really enjoys wearing loud suits and ran with it.

Anyone notice how different Doug is without Grant there?

He says way more goofy over the top stuff with the new guys because he knew Grant would call him out and try to make him feel stupid for doing it.

Better to remain silent and look foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Doug with his "that's what he do" talking all fake.

Serious question: why would your default assumption be that how he sounds on the broadcast now is Christie "talking all fake," as opposed to how he talked when he was doing the broadcast with Napear? How do you know that wasn't him "talking fake"?

Ya, no idea where that came from. He’s not really that much different. More exuberant and slightly different lingo with the new broadcasting mate. Which, I mean, cmon. We don’t need Robert Langdon trying to crack this cipher.

Christie has always been exuberant. I actually think paired up with Jones he has picked his spots to be exuberant when in previous seasons, his exuberance felt forced or at least not in flow. Don't know if it is the new pairing or if it is just the maturing of Christie as a color commentator. Probably a little of both.

in the almost 20 years Doug has been around the team has he every not spoken eloquently?

Are you familiar with the term "code switching"?

Also, "spoken eloquently"? That was intentional, right?

I’m really enjoying Mark Jones’ PBP; for the most part he and Doug are working well together.

Though Mark does occasionally throw a few passes to Doug that are a little too hot to handle (ex. 7:28 4th quarter yesterday referring to Fox’s “un-impeachable” speed )
