Given time, I believe you’ll see more ’homerism’ out of Jones. Once he fully acclimates with the franchise and city. Only makes sense.
Better to remain silent and look foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.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.
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"?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.

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

Are you familiar with the term "code switching"?in the almost 20 years Doug has been around the team has he every not spoken eloquently?
It sounded like he was about to drop an excited f-bomb and sorta had to scramble to cover for it with a bad Symphony no. 5 thingyDoug redeemed a very awkward moment with 5 last words.
They're getting weirder and weirder as the season goes on.
Still not as weird as one of the local announcers from a team I can't recall on NBA TV the other day that said "Put that brown thing in the round hole!" after a made basket.
LOL... ok...If you stipulate that it's a "habit," why would you assume that it's "forced"?
i grow tired of the abbreviated words like hesi and midi. then you have the jelly and reaching into his bag. Doug is trying to make "feet set, jumper wet" a thing.I really like Mark, but he definitely has a couple habits that just come off very forced. Lots of "Jelly" references, multiple times a game (yesterday's game as an example). He also has a habit of pulling out a string of big vocab words when trying to emphasize how amazing something/someone is.

Anyone else catch the DuQuan Jackson name call and then doubled down on no relation to Josh Jackson?
