The broadcasts might attract teenage boy audience, especially those inclined
towards juvenile delinquency, as the commentary emanating from WayRay wouldn't
be unlike that in 'Beavis and Butthead'. 

You just gotta love how WayRay digs up a couple of clueless nobodies that
predict a last-place finish for the Celtics, and Vescey- who hates everybody,
especially the Celtics - as evidence that 'C's impress no one'. 

The comment about Jordan outscoring Pierce was tops, though. Never mind that
Jordan scored 21 points on 9/21 shooting in 30 minutes while being guarded
mostly by Williams and the rooks, while Pierce scored only 2 points less in 6
fewer minutes (!) on efficient 5-10 shooting and 12 trips to the line (vs.
Jordan's 2, which is noteworthy in itself). Pierce only played 24 minutes
because his Celtics blew out Jordan's Bulzards. 

Furthermore, when Jordan was guarding Pierce, Paul pulled several moves that
left Jordan standing there like he was nailed to the floor. A couple that come
to mind was Pierce's shake-n-bake, foot-on-the-line 2-pointer over Jordan
despite MJ's best efforts to prevent that, and Pierce's spin move on MJ that
resulted in a basket and a foul, and left Mike looking like Mark Blount - i.e.,
dumbfounded. It is not possible to have watched the game and not seen all this,
and even if you didn't watch the game, the boxscore should tell you enough not
to make comments like that - unless you're trolling.
