Exactly. I grew up listening to Marv call Knicks on transistor radios and antenna TVs when we won our two NBA Finals championships. Marv is revered by my generation because he was the best in the business at the time. But our poor little snowflake ass hole owner melted every time Marv spoke facts about his shyt-ass teams.

Nobody has ever done play-by-play better than Marv from back when he was the Knicks play-by-play announcer. I don't listen to many national broadcasts so I can't speak on allegations that Marv mis-calls plays and stuff like that. I watched him tonight and I thought he was fine but I wasn't watching close enough for flubs plus I try to mute out Chris Webber's voice at every opportunity so that also adds to the difficulty.


Marv plays it pretty straight. At this point, he's just trying to work in basic play by play coverage while being sandwiched between two knuckleheads and I felt for him.


Agreed.

I can't believe the station can't do better than those two. Reggie by himself, I can take. I'm not happy but I can deal. Webber is a clown, always has been.

Time for the world to hear the best NBA analyst in the world!

I'm not too big on Marv. Great at what he does, but he's been taking unnecessary low key jabs at the Knicks ever since he got canned. He needs to stay objective - and drop the pettiness.

Interesting that the Sixers ended up giving a harder fight to the Raptors than the Bucks.

Spicy P has to play the series of his life for the Raps to have a chance against the Warriors.

I said Raptors in 6.... I love being right. Raptors will beat the Warriors in 7, KD will leave. It’s the end of the Warriors dynasty.

Marv must think it’s our fault he dressed in lingerie and bit those women.

Anybody here do that NBA Playoff Bracket Challenge? My bracket's still in tact. I had Raptors in 6 which surprisingly turned out to be right. I just need Warriors in 6 to happen, maybe I'll win a prize.

Most of you made fun at me for saying that Raptors have at least 4 players that will neutralize Giannis
