justice98 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Well, folks were bent outta shape over Phil getting the boot and that worked out ok. Kara made people get over it almost immediately. I wouldnt love it if Buck gets dumped, but it's not the end of the world.

@DCGoldPants Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Nothing against Kara. She's fine. Also, I haven't watched a ton because of how bad the team is. But dumping Phil was stupid and unneeded. Dumping Buck is the same.  Just something unnecessary for a franchise that doesn't need any more ill will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Buck is awesome but him being let go is probably best for him. He deserves way better then having to watch this s-show 82 times a year. Â Its a shame because Buck and Phil are/were legends. Even more reason to not watch this team(not that we needed it). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 he has too much class to do it, but I would pay high dollars to hear Buck unload the clip the Ernie  Kara is great at what she does, absolutely nothing against her quality, but she is lacking the internal passion that Buck & Phil had. It was personal for them in a way it just can't be for Kara. We are a **** franchise, the very least you can do is give us people that feel our pain.  the few times I do check in on the games nowadays, its just to make sure they haven't completely broken Buck. Its like they want people to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Zach and Ted doing this. Firing Buckhantz will be the last straw for me with this team. Edited March 7, 2019 by skinswillwin06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I think we might be taking this a bit too personal... Buck is my dude. I remember him on Channel 5. Personally speaking, he's probably my favorite local sports broadcaster ever, probably narrowly beating out Chick...  I just think they want to go in a different direction though. They're not firing him I believe, I think his contract is just expiring.  If y'all wanna keep on crushing Ted though, please don't let this stop you. Seriously, as good as he's been with the Caps, it's been the opposite with the Wizards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Terrible news. Buckhantz is one of the best.   I like Kara Lawson, she's solid...but Chenier was great. If the Wizards are gonna suck, at least have good broadcasters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 100% honest, I have always thought Mel Proctor was better than Buckhantz.... at the same time Buck has grown into his own with play-by-play plus time with Phil... and we forgot about Mel. I haven't religiously watched them in 15+ years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I like Buck too, but did anyone else yesterday hear him call Sato Dirk while he was at the free throw line lol? I had to rewind the DVR to make sure I heard it right. And then I took a video with my phone lol.

@DCGoldPants Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 of all the issues surrounding this franchise that they keep leaving uncorrected. To go and change the play by play guy seems like moving around deck chairs on the Titanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Buck talk got to me because people were complaining about it all evening. lol  Personally, I wouldn't mind losing out, but if I get to see these bums play an extra four or five games this year, it wouldn't be the worse thing in the world.

Going Commando Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just one more thing that pisses me off about the Wizards.  Re: Kara, she's good, and Phil got old, but I liked him better. I also think Kara isn't going to be on the job for all that long because I think she's going to get hired by somebody to coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 They are what their record says they are. It's possible they could pull out a winning streak and I like reading that the team seems focussed on the playoffs. However, they haven't won the games they needed to the whole season. It is a different team with Portis, Parker and Brown getting minutes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
