I thought he was pretty good Briggs. He got a few things wrong though, which of course, is from not having to watch games THAT closely in awhile. I think he'd be a very good commentator if he worked on it just a little bit.

I wasn't too impressed. Didn't see the whole game, but from what I caught I heard a lot of cliches and not much insight. I know it was his first try and all, but I don't get much out of hearing him tell me "that was a good play" or "this is a good game" or "that was a bad call," especially without going any deeper-- I can go to a bar and hear the same stuff. Definitely prefer Kerr and Collins. But at least Barkley wasn't a sieve sucking entertainment value from the game like Breen.

the only good thing Kenny Smith contributed to the telecasts this year was Nate's 49 cent nickname.

Kenny Smith is olny interested in telling corny azz stories and unfunny jokes. Who the hell brought a rocker in to broadcats knick games anyway?

Kenny Smith to me is decent, nothing special. I honestly thought Barkely was God awful. He makes good points, but there were times when he was too fixated on certain things.

Yeah, Clyde is fun to listen to. Back to Sir Charles:

I can't count how many times he would say: "Brian Cook is way too inconsistent.", "Briant cook has a great jump shot." "Come on young fella!! (Bynum) BE MORE AGGRESIVE!!!!!!!", "Kobe is playing great just passing and he'll be KOBE anytime." "I'm faster than any 67 year old man." "Mike Bibby has been fantastic, and the rest of the Kings haven't."

That's pretty much all he said. lol

Jet always works with breen, so he spends most of the game arguing and bickering back and forth with breen. That I'm pretty much sick of.

I wish breen would go to hell and take channing frye with him.

I thought Barkley was funny. What I like most about him is how comfortable he is being himself. If he were to do that regularly he should consider learning the rules, so he can help guide you through game ending strategy. His takes on individual players I thought were pretty accurate. And him challenging Bavetta to a race is what makes the NBA on TNT a great TV show as well as a way to watch an NBA game. Making Marv put up with Barkley for three hours was also excellent.

they need to get rid of Kenny Smith & bring in Mark Jackson... he does a pretty good job w/the Nets games.

Mark Jackson has a monotone voice. Listening to him is painfull. I'd take Kenny the Jet any day over Jackson, besides he's a New Yorker too.

yeah, his voice isn't the most pleasant thing to listen to, but give me a guy who makes salient points having to do w/the game & intelligent analysis over a cheesy 1 liner wannabe DefJam comedian anyday.

Sounds like he is picking style over substance. I actually like Mark Jackson and I think he would be a good color guy. I also liked Greg Anthony but I don't think Zeke will let him do broadcasts with the Knicks anytime soon. Patrick Ewing also did some color for the Summer games, he would be a good candidate.
