No. I don't think folks want him sucking the opponents dick.

they thought Melo was the problem when we all knew it was D'Antoni I mean look at what he's done in LA with even more talent


Y'all are so delusional it's hilarious :lol:

For the past 10 years, there hasn't been much to be optimistic about, even as an announcer, and when a team beats your ass each and every night, it's pretty difficult to be a homer announcer. Which is why Marv Albert was let go. He tried to call the game like it was, and call how much the Knicks sucked, but Jim Dolan wanted him to be an over-optimistic Knicks announcer and not criticize the team.

Breen did the Knicks radio play-by-play when Marv was our TV guy. He's Knicks down to the core, and some of you are claiming he "hates Melo". Hahaha.

You can guarantee he wants a Knicks NBA Championship just as much as Clyde does. He critiques a little, and some of you get on his d*ck. Some of you need to grow a pair. He's clearly a Knicks homer, just not when he's calling games on National TV. When it's all said and done, he's most likely going to be in the broadcasting hall-of-fame. You fools should be greatful we have him, instead of someone like Spero doing our games for an entire season.

:crazy:


no one said they dont love the Knicks but we get bashed so much in the media who wants to hear that **** from your announce team

a bad shot or pass is okay to criticize but doing the same for the opponent is annoying along with praising them for tough defense and calling out our star player as asking for a foul when he plays D

You should first listen to some other broadcasting crews for a while ... MOST of them are beyond terrible.

Coming from a country with massive Napoleon complexes, you start appreciating anyone who at least tries being objective.

Of course Breen is more emotionally invested in Knicks, Clyde just likes the X's and O's and talking about his playing days.

Knicks should bring back the dude in my avy to call the games. Especially in the playoffs. Non-stop homerism.

Breen loves the Knicks. He just hates Melo and JR more. During Linsanity for the first time ever Breen sounded like a good announcer.

Also Hubie and JVG are super unbiased and fair. They call it the way they see it.

I would give him my naked body just to have him announcing Knicks games on MSG.

You do realize he does that on every broadcast, even the MSG ones.

I really think Breen is just a pissed off super-fan. Like when we see Melo chuck up bad shots, we get upset. When he sees it, he has to articulate it. When he says nice things about Pierce, he basically is covering up his own urge to say @#$!@#$! @#$!#$ mother$#@!#@

Some Alternatives:

The guy who does the Toronto play-by-play is excellent
Kevin Harlan (Who wouldn't have wanted to hear Harlan calling Melo a flamethrower after the 2nd 3 he knocked down)
Dave Pasch

Breen has got great pipes, so it sounds better, but the above announcers are pretty much straight down the middle.

I think the Toronto guy is better than Breen IMO

He tries to come off unbiased on local games and overcompensates some too but on national games he kicks it up about 15 notches. Today was disgusting. It's not pleasant. I don't want a homer but I don't want to feel like one team is getting all the praise either.
