Is this our home team play by play announcer? Yes the Knicks have been terrible the last couple of years it still give no excuse that, I as a fan watching the game on my home network feel like I'm watching an opposing team feed. C'mon give a frickin break here, enough of this jerk already, by the way he isn't that great to begin with. In closing Screw You Mike Breen

I like Mike Breen. He covers the important part of the game - the officials, their role in the game, their trials and tribulations. He correctly points out player mistakes and boneheaded moves. If only the players would listen to Mike Breen the game would be so much better. Better yet, if the league would just eliminate the players and let us watch the officials! Ahh. Now that would be some good entertainment.

Maybe somehow someway Little Jimmy will get over himself and the only PBP guys we have are a returned Marv and his kid.

Yeah, I know.

Breen can lick it as far as I am concern. I will never forget that his success came as a result of a man biting a woman on the neck and back while wearing panties.

Breen falls into the Michael Kay classification of announcers.

Yeah, he's technically sound and knows the team and the game -- but he's boring and does nothing to add to the fan's enjoyment of the game.

I grew up with Marv and Scooter. These were announcers you actually looked forward to listening to.

While I never look forward to Breen, he doesn't annoy me too much.

But don't get me started on Kay...

Gus should do every game. He's a great homer announcer. Kenny Smith is great as a color guy too.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

I like Gus but only when he is not a homer announcer. I HATED Kenny and don't mind Breen.

Kenny Smith was awful. Gus is great, so I don't mind if he'd be the one to replace Breen, but other than that, Mike is OK. He gets annoying at times, but he also knows stuff and he's not affraid to point out certain things that are correct. Sometimes he just talks about stupid stuff like annoying the refs and getting techs, and being a poor sport.

Breen gets about a B I would say.
es the Knicks have been terrible the last couple of years

Couple? Dude, we're hitting Clippers territory right now. Our last .500+ season was 2000-2001 and that was when we were eliminated in the first round.

Why do you think you never hear people talk about the Knicks anymore, the way they talk about the Giants and the Yankees. It's b/c they've been bad for really really really long. Just remember, people ALWAYS talked about them when they were good.

All youse guys do is complain
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Actually Breen doesn't know his stuff. He is constantly being criticized for double talking by his color commentators on both ABC/ESPN and Clyde. Sometimes you can hear the frustration in his partners' voices. He often repeats the same thing over and over to try to get his point of course which of course was proved wrong. Reminds me of the NBA version of McCarver.

Breen blows pandas.
