You mean he's like Clyde..without the idiotic mismatched try-to-hard words with a second pause between each thesaurus looked up word?

Clyde is a joke, which is fitting, I guess, to a joke franchise such as this.
Tripuka is a great announcer. He's like Clyde without the color commentary. Teaches you the game as it goes along. Just without the rhymes and such.

this will be considered blasphemy but clyde doesn't really add anything to the broadcast. in terms of providing analysis, he's no better than tommy heinsohn.

Wow, really? You guys hate Clyde that much? Clyde is very good at pointing out what players could have done to be better, what they did that was wrong, and what they should be doing. The color commentary is a bit much at times but he knows the game and he does a very good job passing it on to you. Or, well, Me..I guess.

Tripuka does nothing different, except, there's no color commentary, it's just straight commentary.

One other thing with Tripuka...he doesn't let Breen just own the telecast. Think about it...with Clyde - Breen just takes over the telecast to an annoying level - going off on topics that have nothing to do with the game - even ignoring the game for minutes at a time. Tripuka seems to prevent this and keep Breen on topic.

That' my point. It feels like a national game where you have a Quinn Buckner type guy fly and do the game. These are regional broadcast.

I don't know Phar. I see your point to an extent. Trip is still new so hearing any new voice is going to make the game sound different. I think Trip offers some good insight on the plays that are made or the plays that should have been made.

Maybe you just need to get used to his voice?

Meanwhile.... we're down 18? Really?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow.

Again, I can hear about 1/3rd of the Knick fanbase tonight "That's it, season over, if a games on and I have nothing to do I'll check in, but, I'm not making any plans around a knick game."

when you look at the knicks as a bad expansion team, then these type of losses don't look so bad. and that's exactly what they are, a bad expansion team.

Yeah, pretty much, I guess. [Isiah] But we have talented players so how can we be so bad? [/Isiah]

Meh...it is what it is but this is pretty low. And NBDL team would be ashamed to drop 20+ behind the Thunder. In fact, Thunder, sounds like an NBDL team!!!
