donnie marshall

It has been brought up here before. I can't take him anymore. When does he shut up!!!

[screwedupmaniac]

i hate that guy, and think he should be a NJ nets announcer. afterall, it seems like he is always so fond of his bench riding days there. he's terrible, even worse than the c's have been the past 9 games.

[The4Time2Doctor0]

i have no problem with him.

[dark_lord]

i find him more annoying when the celts lose bc everything annoys me when the celts lose.  overall, he is just ok. he'd be better if he didnt name drop, appear egotistical, and ride ray's jock.

My favorite tonight was his retort to a Gorman comment on Lebron:  "well, you know...I played against the greatest EVER...Michael Jordan of course"


It's ok though, he rated the Celtics' performance a "B" tonight - what's that Donnie?  That they B stinking up the joint?

You're awful.  I'd honestly rather have Bill Walton do color.  At least the (usually) unintended comedy makes him entertaining.

To me it is just that he never shuts up. Every basket, every missed shot, bad pass, free throw, he has to comment. I just cannot enjoy the game because of his incessant chatter. Poor Mike Gorman! It must be terrible for him.

I cannot stand him. The other night when he was going on and on about Wilson Chandler and the Knicks being so much better than their record blah blah blah, I wanted to reach through the screen and smack the ear rings out of his head.

I picked up on that also.He always seems to blow smoke up other players butts when they win.That tells what kind of player he was on a team,kiss a**.

Donnie irritates me very much. He needs to be fired.

Ge Max in there to replace him

I wish the announcer would shut up!!! 

Come on, he's not that bad. Look, I know it's odd that the storied franchise that is the Celtics couldn't find someone with better Celtics roots than Donny Marshall, but the fact is, Donny's the guy they got, and it's not Donny's fault that he didn't play for us. Also, I'm not sure why everyone gets so mad at his Ray Allen man love. Tommy goes crazy for individual guys, too.

[Actionjakson]

I dont mind Donnie. He is no Tommy, but he is not bad IMO.

[KJ33]

Donny just said he was a "great free throw shooter" for "my entire career"

Donny's career FT%  77-113  .681

[Locomotive Breath]

I don't mind him as a studio analyst but as a color guy his awful. I really wish they find someone a little more interesting even dead silence would be better.

but brick, without donny, who would i get to hear a thrilling recap of the last uconn alumni game from?


God i wish they would just steal max from the radio and replace donny.

[Marco Vincent]

Wow.  I'm not sure why everyone hates on Donny Marshall.  When he is in studio he is great.  And when he is doing away games with Gorman he is great.  Tommy and Mike both seem to like him (as opposed to Tanquay, whom relentlessly seeks Tommy's approval). 

I've lived in a couple other parts of the country, and though Boston is my home and I try not to be jaded... your hard pressed to find better in game announcing.
