Quote from well known personality who led their high school team to a state championship.“As a captain, I played furiously. I drew a lot of fouls, but I brought everything I had to every practice and to every game. I left everything on the court because I simply wanted the team to win”
I'd say he's average, I don't mind him. I hate Leo so much though.
I enjoy Armstrong more than RautinsWhatWhat wrote:

Something about the word uber is so... not cool. But Jack is awesome and I can't stand Devlin. Nice guy I just can't take anymore lame nicknames and cheesy calls. I'd offer Gus Johnson $5M/Y if I owned the team!
Keep Calm & Chive On
Chuck Swirsky was way better then Matt!
Reasons why I like matt:
"Money Weems" , "New Jack City", general level of excitement
Reasons why I don't:
"Kid Compton", "Get Up Bird" uhh, non witty banter, He's not the swirsk
Why I like Jack Armstrong
"HEEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOO!"
plus he plugs MGD so well every time i see one I think of him
What if... Blazers had drafted both Drexler, Jordan?

Michael Jordan was the #3 pick in the 1984 draft, after Portland selected Sam Bowie second.
Devlin is alright. Not great, but not awful. Plus, he had some pretty big shoes to fill. Chuck was the only thing that made watching those bad Raptors teams fun throughout his tenure.
As an aside, i've yet to come across a person who likes what Leo has to say. Apparently I haven't talked to anyone at MLSE yet because they have a huge boner for that idiot.
Devlin sucks I want chuck back!!!!!!!!!!.. ever since he left weve been the Craptors LOL it must be the curse of the swirsk LOL
I love Devlin. I love the way he's a real life Michael Scott. I love how he gets players names wrong, I love how he gets sidetracked about all kinds of BS no one cares about, I love how he gets plays wrong when he's sitting right there. I love his fake ass, warmy-shwarmy company man personality. I love him so bad I'd replace him with the radio team in a heartbeat. I love him so bad he makes me not hate Leo as much as I do.
Just once I want a player to mess up his hair. Bet he'd totally lose his shit.
He should hang out with the Young Gunz at the Republik after a tough loss...

I miss Chuck too. The salami and cheese just isn't tastin' the same anymore..
the "Onions" dont taste the same anymore either...
Matt is alright but Chuck was great...Armstrong is more entertaining than both so thankfully we still have him...
ya, really if gus johnson and jack armstrong were the announcers even 30 games a year, together, i would jiz in my pants.

Somehow this is how I picture Devlin. Dude looks like he comes straight from a 70s leisure suit swingers club. Devlin hair seems to be a play-doh mold from the mop top barber shop. I swear he was a guest on the Love Boat, and if he was a guest, he would have wanted to visit the poop deck with Gopher.
Besides his creepy 70s used car salesman look, he calls games alright.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
Devlin is HORRIBLE
Misses half the sh*t that happens.
Misses blocks, gets foul calls wrong, etc etc
Annoyingly gravels up his voice EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY SCORE
"Money Weems" is a horrible nickname
Double D BARF
Stop calling players by their first name you f'ng tool.
He calls shots as swishes when they rattle in or hit the rim
DOES. NOT. UNDERSTAND. BASKETBALL.
Swirsky was much better.
But I would love Armstrong to do a game by himself.
Not call eery single play and say who has the ball, but just analyze the game as it goes on.
i just laughed my ass off when i seen that LOL.

I preferred Swirsky, but i dont dislike Devlin.
He did give us the "Punjabi!"
Devlin: " Raptors Lead by one, Harris takes the shot at the Buzzer. No good. Overtime........ no, no Overtime Raptors hang on and
win against the nets"
Professionallism at its best
Not great...
Devlin's not great, but at least he's better than Leo "He should have caught the shooter's shot instead of blocking it out of bounds" Rautins.
F'ing Rautins has been saying that every time a Raptor gets a block for the last decade. OK, Leo... we get it. Yes, it is preferable to retain possession. Actually, instead of just catching the ball, why doesn't the player catch-and-shoot in one motion, for a long 3? That would be even better, no?
Sorry for the rant. Can't stand Roundball Rautins.
