Listen to him more carefully when he's not calling a knick game and see if you agree with his calls, then ask yourself who's really being bias. If you think melo took 29 good shots your freaking blind.

I recall breen saying Melo started hot going 4 for 4 then went 0-5 finsihing the half 5 for 12, which meant in went 1-8 after the hot start. He forced some shots, held the ball too long, and had a couple TO's.. By half time everybody was questioning the too much meloball.

But since BREEN MADE SOME NEGATIVE COMMENTS about his play, and didn't sugar coated like a HOMER, he's being bias..

Breens not perfect, but I have had league pass for 7 years and some of the homers I hear are god awful.

The best to me is HUBBIE BROWN!!

Melo took about 10 awful shots last game and was isoing us out of the game in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Breen was absolutely terrible. There, it's not only the melo homers that see it.

To put things in perspective, Reggie Miller is often kinder when speaking of certain Knicks players than Mike Breen, FREAKING REGGIE MILLER. When Reggie Miller is less biased than you during Knicks games you should probably consider your employment with the team "you grow up loving".

Yes, I have had League Pass for 3 years and I agree there are worse broadcasters than Breen, but they are not employed by ESPN to be "unbiased", and they only do the games of their local teams for a reason. In all my time listening to them, I rarely hear them make under-handed snarky comments disparaging the talented players on their teams. Better to be a homer broadcaster than a liar, at least you can appreciate their affection towards their home team. I don't see how Breen's passive aggressive word-vomit doesn't irritate you. It's like that bandwagon friend that we all have that claims to be a lifelong knick fan and gets up and shrieks every time Lebron dunks on us. Lifelong Knicks fan? OKAY, if you say so.

So if melo takes a bad shot and breen says "melo with an awful shot" or "not a good shot by melo" that makes him bias..But if a Fan says it, it's understandable..

No, the "melo with a bad shot" vs. "pierce way off" argument was not mine. It goes beyond that. For instance, Melo was playing stingy D and Breen said "Melo is just begging for a foul" vs. "Pierce is playing really tight defense". This is what I am bothered by. You don't see the difference in these quotes? They are not paraphrased.
