do whatever you want as long as you fire mark jackson

Why would you promote Doris? Her commentary is painful.
- Better than Mark Jackson?
  
  YES I'll take Doris over Mark Jackson
  
  I'd say Jackson is just consistently like a dumb npc with one liners. But when Doris is on one it's really bad as in I want to turn off the TV. I prefer Jackson because it's comically bad, Doris is just annoying.
- What don't you like about Doris Burke's commentary?
  (Edit: I think she's great)
- The fired van gundy and others after the finals

Gross. Doc Rivers voice is gonna make me mute every game he announces.
- You don't like listening to Basketball Tom Waits?
