Reminds me of "Misery" every time you call him the #1 fan.

Oh im sorry, I thought the national TV announcer should so some excitement during a 21-0 run down the stretch. Guess that's him hating on the Knicks though....

Laughable.
On the other hand JVG hit the nail on the head when he said "I don't like this offense the Knicks are running" in talking about Melo's series of iso after iso.
you're reaching. he says "way off" almost every time it isn't in-n-out. it's just a phrase he overuses. and you admit he says Green was out of control, but your paranoia hears it in a bad way.
then you praise JVG for criticizing the knicks when he said "i dont like this offense the Knicks are running."
your vendetta is blatant.

No. I don't criticize people for criticizing the Knicks. JVG's was smart and on the mark. Breen's was silly. JR was not way off. Green was way out of control. We're supposed to just "interpret" and "translate" Breen's mistakes and bias into a different language?
Breen has the agenda.

Pretty much the sum of this.
Breen has an obligation to call the game.
The same way Breen was broacasting the Celtics 21-0 run, Knicks fans were panicking in the GT just the same.
Breen has called timeless numbers of Knicks games and has showed the emotion when warranted.
Fans want a homer, and just wont say it.
Breen is one of the best in the game.

Re: Lets be real about Mike Breen
Calling a game without bias is what we want from Breen...
But he hardly ever gets excited for the Knicks, and goes out his way to criticize them..
Like the coach that has a son on the team, treats him like crap not to show favoritism,
But winds up being too harsh....
Hard for Breen to announce normal when the Knicks are involved....he sorta in a catch 22.

He shows favoritism to whoever we're playing. Once it was obvious we were going to win last night he kept brainstorming about how the Celtics could still comeback, it was sad.

It isn't hard, he does it, you guys just want every play glorified.
When warranted, Breen delivers.....

No need to even post the countless calls during Linsanity, breen was all on that.
Want Breen excitement, make the plays.

Re: Lets be real about Mike Breen
Honestly...Spero Dedes has grown on me and I think he does just as well as Breen without trying so hard to seem unbiased. The more I listen to Breen the more I think his worst moments come from overcompensating to not seem biased.

Re: Lets be real about Mike Breen
this ridiculous conversation is still going on?
there's a reason breen is considered the best in the game... and it's not knick-hating. knicks have the best home broadcast, and breen is a huge part of that. we lost little in transition from marv albert because of breen.
you want a drunk tommy heinsohn? thank god some of you aren't in charge of personnel.
MSG might as well be the soviet union when it comes to how it wants to be represented in the media. and they think breen does a great job. that should tell you enough.
but there's no changing the minds of some of you social disorder-having mofos. so why even try, right?

No. Gus Johnson was horrible. Spero Dedes is so boring I can hear in it Clyde's voice he's thinking "why am I paired up with this guy".

Re: Lets be real about Mike Breen
Breen just has too many connections and relationships with the Knicks, he shouldn't be doing the nationally televised games and have to pretend to be someone else. I want someone calling the game who has more distance from the team and can see things from a fresher perspective.

They're good, Jeff is more of a Sideshow BOB type imo.
Kevin Harlan and Breen are the top dogs broadcasting now.
There's good ones but they are the best.
