    Brian has his little stock sayings during a game. Thumbs up or Down on if you like them or wish he'd never say them again because they are dumb:

    BOOM SHAKALAKA!!!

    BANG!!! PA-POWWWWWWWW!!!!

    And (Opposing Coach) is (Three words that start with the same letter)!!!

    THEY ARE DANCING IN THE AISLES OF (insert arena name here)!!!

    IT'S LIKE THEY PULLED THE FIRE ALARM AT (opposing team's arena)!!!

    And once again, we can say... It's a great day to be a Blazer!

    RING IT UP!

    (PLAYER)... A THREE/SHOT FOR THE GAME!!!

    OOH THAT WAS NASTY!!!!

    Any more?

    You didn't think it would be easy, did you?

    X minutes left -- it comes down to execution here.

    I never get to listen to Wheels, but my favorite is when he uses the 3 words to describe the opposing coaches ".......Kevin McHale is......CONFUSED.....CONFOUNDED....AND some other C word!"

    The only thing I don't like about Brian Wheeler is that I can't listen to his afternoon radio show while I'm at work.

    They are all fine and part of the show. It could at times get a little dry and boring without them. I could do without the alliterations, but meh.

    More announcers need to be using "boom shakalaka." It's the greatest. I endorse any NBA Jam quotes.


    IS IT THE SHOES???

    "If this continues they might as well pack their bags and head to the airport. "
    "Apparently Scott Foster sees better from 30ft away than Dick Bavetta does right next to the guy"
    "If it were a fish, they'd throw it back!"
    I love Wheels style, can't say the same for Tone though..

    Ha, ha. I like this one. I don't know what it means, but it's funny. And he's so stressed out when he says it. ;)

    When Tone says something trying to be funny but not..Wheels likes to answer, "well ok then, just goes to show how much I know"

    "You told grandma you'd wake her up if the game was good!"

    "It's absolute bedlam here at the [Rose Garden]!"

    I love his schtick.

    It works. It feels genuine, even "canned". We have the best radio guy by far.

    Everything Wheels does is great - think he's wonderful. Still not a fan of his on-air partner, but not much he can do about that.

    Wait until Wheels and Channing Frye or CJ McCollum pair up on air!
