don't want to throw anyone under the bus, but I can at least say the two didn't get along as well as they portrayed. can also say this was a good move for everyone

I never was a fan of Wesley's commentary, he always seemed overly critical of Pelican players.


you weren't?

Downvote away, but I'm not going to lie, I would rather have Nancy Lieberman than Daniel's.

Daniel's can be critical at times which I like, but he likes the Thunder more than he does the Pels. You could watch him after a Thunder game and he would be much more knowledgeable about the team than he was when doing a Pelicans broadcast.

If this is because they didn't get along professionally working together, can we just move David to radio to pair up with Graff? He'd be an improvement over Deshaizer.

These guys(and gals) get passed around between the different Fox Sports South West team broadcasts like groupies. It's possible Daniels knew more about the Thunder because he was assigned to them more often rather than some anti-Pels bias. He seems very professional and covering the Pels full time will make him become more knowledgeable about the team.

I'm not sure. Just said that he can't stand working with him.
If true, I would take Joel over Wesley every time.

Yea its pretty bad. It'd be nice to have our own team.

At least its not Del Harris. He is the absolute all time worst. How this guy got a job on TV I have no idea.

"The ugh, pelicans, ugh, didn't ugh, umm, just didn't ugh, do ugh, enough, hehe, in umm, the paint."

Instead of Boogie, he used to say "Bogey." Drove me nuts

The only time I like to listen to Del Harris is when I'm trying to sleep off an adderall binge

David Wesley started off so bad and worked his arse off and became so good. This gives me a case of the sadz.

Don't know for sure, but I'd be kind of surprised if those Fox Sports people do more than one of those shows in a night. Like they'd do a Pelicans east coast game, then the same crew would do some west coast game. All under the guise that the crew was the "hometown" crew for both teams.

He's going through some personal stuff right now, but I think we should expect to see him back eventually

Yeah, delete it. That explains why he wasn’t at all of the swim meets this year. I used to see him 2-3 times a summer.
