Just wanted to know where people stand on the gentlemen calling our squad's games on MSG. I don't like Gus b/c he's too much of a homer. I don't like Breen b/c he's too much of a hater. I greatly miss Marv. Clyde, the rhyming dictionary himself, is great - especially when he goes "uh-uh!" when a shot goes awry. Haven't really heard enough of Mike Crispino to make a judgment on him. Kenny's OK but he's much better making fun of Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA. So yeah. Fire away.

Breen's been a lot less critical of late i've noticed... maybe the Garden brass has gotten on him for it... actually i've been hearing Gus make some biting criticisms of this team on the radio... he's described the way they played as "completely gutless & inexcusable performances" in some games... that's about as harsh as you can get, even for Breen.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Crispino is horrible BTW. He makes a lot of basic errors.

Bring back Marv to call it with Clyde. We had the perfect duo until Dolan went on another powertrip.

Gus Johnson, "jumper by marbury purrrrrrrrrrrrrre"
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Too emotional for me. Gus gets pumped up at the layup line.

Kevin Calabro.

This is without a doubt the single best post in UltimateKnicks history...

DrSithMirth registered October 30th, 2006. He waited patiently as months passed by, then -- finally, when the "favorite announcer" thread suddenly popped up on UK. He swooped in and seized the moment to rep his boy...

No "hey guys, I'm new to the board".

No basketball discussion.

No trade proposals.

No Alba ogling.

Just two words: Kevin Calabro...

...And then he was never heard from again -- DrSithMirth... I salute you.

Traiwig or what ever his name was really laying into the team at halftime.

I guess his days are numbered.

I turn on a Net game and hear Marvs voice and it just makes me feel at home!

I root for the Nets with Marv calling the game. I have heard that voice for 35 years. Its the sound of the knicks!

well the reason I like breen is because he tells it like it is. yes he criticizes the team and gives other players their due respect, but that's what he's supposed to do, stay objective. some times it gets to me too because I just don't want to hear how bad their defense is (I can see it, I know how bad it is). but some of you guys should really hear the local announcers that other teams have. many of them are just terrible, 90% of them are biased and just unprofessional in the way they do the broadcast. you guys don't know how good we have it in the tri-state area with breen/gus/marv/clyde/kenny

It was a tossup between Marv and Clyde. I went with Clyde.
