I have listened to George ever since I was small. Now that I'm grown, I love to hear his voice announce my favorite basketball team and my hometown. George we love ya.
Steve Javie sucks. He needs to be fired. He did this power trip shit even when the 90's Chicago Bulls were playing normally with a healthy lead in games.
i know George Blaha has been the Pistons announcer since 1976,how do i know? ive been watching the Pistons since the 1996-97.(first year of the teal era.).
When George Blaha passes on... the Pistons defintley better retire his mic....
THEY BETTER! George is voice of the Pistons! You da man, George!!!
@garyboy46 holy shit, the blazers announcers are god awful. i had to listen to them once on a live stream of a pistons game, and i seriously wanted to kick my computer in.
Blaha is my hero. Most telecasters would be too pussy to speak up against what is wrong. This sickens me... refs trying to pull Detroit's big men out to leave room for Stern's darling Dwight Howard to shine so he can create a "superhero" story only to get viewer ratings... of course no one wants to watch a team like Detroit do well because they don't have a "superstar" status player.
i met Blaha when i was 17 at the Palace, when he was in his 19th season, now i am 28 and and I went to the Palace last week and met him, for a seond time. He was the same guy, very friendly and has no problems with chating with fans. you kick ass GB,hopee you telecast for many more years to come.
So that's why Pistons fans hate specific refs. It's not because they formed their own opinions from watching the games, but because when their emotions are all riled up they listen to George Blaha complain about refs by name.
I'm not a big fan of Dick Bavetta, but it has nothing to do with something one of my team's announcers said. It's on the fact that I have seen him call some terrible playoff games.
I don't need my TV play-by-play guy to tell me that.
In all the years I've listened to Blaha's telecasts, this is the only time I've heard him speak out against game officials...Trust me, it's rare and not only that, he's entitled to his opinion just as is anyone else. The fact that he's the voice of the pistons should not disqualify him from an opinion.
put this guy in the hall of fame because he tell it like it is. dont believe me, look what happened to joey crawford. he had been calling so many quick and unwaranted techs that the nba had to suspend him. that is some of the best announcing i have heard in a long time, not like those network announcers on ABC that just say "tough call" and sugarcoat everything to keep their jobs.
After all those T's on the Pistons big men, they still managed to sweep the lowly Orlando Magic. Those were some pretty ballsy comments made by Blaha and I agree with him 100%!!
i fuckin love you Blaha! GO PISTONS!

Blaha is right on. NBA officiating is an absolute joke. But as we have found out in recent week, the fix was in, right Mr. Stern.

Steve Javie and Ken Mauer are the two WORST refs in the NBA. Javie thinks that people come to watch him ref, he is an arrogant asshole.
