Breen does a pretty good job. Kenny Smith is horrible. I like the job Mark Jackson does for the Nets. How come all of the good ex Knick employees now work for the Nets?

Because they are trying to get fans from New York to be turned on to the Nets.

how about you run a petition to fire Isiah. The Knicks are under .500 team and your biggest worry is to fire Breen. We have a team who has no shot to win a championship the next 5 years and your biggest thing is fire Breen? You are like Bush in 2004 election where US was in a war with Iraq but his biggest issue was gay marriage. Some Knicks fans have lowered their expectation too much.

Marv was the best. Breen can be annoying, but he so much better than anybody else they got other than Clyde of course.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

You're with us or against us please forgo the constant Thomas must go Banter, in fact go create your own petition to fire Thomas. To bring bush into this is just stupid the man got the brain capacity of a 5 year old and is position to push that Fuckusall switch. Yeah fate of the world on a whole equates with the state of the Knicks.

Snagged from Isola's blog:

You guys need to cut Knicks play-by-play man Mike Breen some slack. He’s only doing his job by calling it like he sees it. He comes prepared, he talks to players and coaches on both teams and he takes pride in being objective during the telecast.

If you want to hear some real homers get the NBA League Pass and listen to broadcasters for other teams. They have the pom-poms out from start to finish.

I’ve been around Mike for 11 years and I know that he wants to see the Knicks do well. (It makes life easier for everyone in the media when the team is winning.) What is the big deal if he’s complimenting the Phoenix Suns? Did you see the game? The Suns put on a great show. If they played in New York there would already be a statue of Steve Nash in front of Madison Square Garden. And maybe one of Stoudemire as well.
PURE KNICKS LOVE

You're missing the point. Say the team is mediocre. No one would care, but as Phil in LA so aptly put it: "Breen is a sanctimonious prick."

Andrew: I like the Isola blog. I really don't have a problem with Breen. Prefer it to the phony schtick of Marv with the voice and others.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

C'mon Frank there is nothing wrong with loving the Suns. They're the most fun team in the league to watch...I know it...you know it...Isiah Thomas knows it...we all know it. The league and it many changes reflect the fact. So you don't think I'm being unfair...I think Breen obviously knows his stuff. Still, he's a home commentator and his "on-air" language shouldn't sound like he's applying for a position in Phoenix.

My point still stands...its hard enough to sit through a big Knick loss but to hear him go on and on about how great the Suns were (as if the Knicks weren't trying or showing signs of life) sucked. I had no other choice of network to watch. League pass was blacked out. I had to watch it on MSG.

I did watch it...all of it. And unfortunately listened to it. My girl was half laughing at me but telling me to shut up and just turn the volume down becuz of how silly I found him to be. At one point I started counting off how many times he went overboard on the Suns. (at one point I considered keeping a real time log on the blog with all of breen's quotes...but i doubt frank would approve)

When Kenny Smith (who I don't even like to listen to) sounds HE is the one defending the Knicks (because of Breen doesn't miss a chance to beat one of them up) I find a problem with that.

If Breen calls it like he sees it, then maybe the way he sees it blows. Its not indicative of the KNICK FANS WHO WATCH THE GAME FROM START TO FINISH. I'm sure he's a tremendous guy and hard worker ( how else could he land the job)...but it's his language and perspective of the Knicks and their play that he is paid to shell out. As a commentator, he's lumped himself in with the rest of the NY Media and how biased they are AGAINST THESE KNICKS.

IIts like the media is taking out on this team the frustration they failed to take out on the five years before.

How could he call out Steph when he argued the call that got him a technical? Breen said something about wishing that technical fouls were treated as personal fouls and accumulate til they fouled out(cuz thats when "players would start to take referees more serious")...

I mean..c'mon...Steph isn't a whiner-complainer like Rasheed Wallace or Alonzo Mourning. Steph got hit on the play and many plays before it...he's been getting hit a lot...and its been mentioned before that he gets an unfair amount of "no-calls" because of his strength. he gripes, gets a technical...that should be the end of it.

But of course that was not the end of it. Our home commentator goes off and implies that our main guy is a whining baby and the rules of the league should be changed so that players like him could be further punished. That's a load of sh|t. From our home commentator guy? Did you hear how Kenny Smith didn't go along with him? Did you notice he left him out there to dry? And Kenny Smith is a ultra conservative commentator when it comes to player conduct and behavior...so what does that say?

I find it funny when people wonder what Isiah has on Dolan...

as if Isiah has something secretive on Dolan forces him to leave Isiah with the job...

If you look at what happened to the Knicks franchise under Dolan's control, why do you still wonder?

Dolan ruined it with his "God-Squad" "Corporately Correct" version of the Knicks. Those Knicks blew. Everyone knows it, including Dolan.

Isiah still has a job cuz he's doing a better job than anyone in recent Knicks history of re-establishing a foundation...for the future.

You're Vince F. Admit it.

So this guy was mad the Knicks lost, and he took it out on the commentator. Nice. Sounds like a really frustrated person with way too much time on his hands.
