I think Reggie and Cwebb are great

Barkley is an idiotic. Said Charlotte missed the playoffs last year

There was very little analyst commentary or insights worth anything and nothing that matched the flow of the game. Marv's play by play was often drowned out by Barkley's stream of consciousness. Miller's observations might have been good, but it was difficult to even follow him because he was playing sidekick much of the night to Barkley's antics.

I agree- I don't mind that kind of goofing about commentary in the middle of a boring game or a blowout, but it was a big, close game, and it was as if they weren't even remotely interested. It was really annoying after a while. And then when Barkley said that the one team that didn't make the playoffs last season, but will this year, would be Charlotte- I think that summarised the level of effort and knowledge that went into calling this game.

That was one sweet win.

I can't stand listening to these clowns deliver such an uneven broadcast -- one min. they're goofing on Melo taking a shot, saying something like "is that supposed to be the triangle?', and then at the end of the game they're praising Melo for taking and hitting that baseline shot over LeBron. Which is it? Damn hypocrites. LOL.

As far as I'm concerned Melo can take whatever shot he wants -- the dude's one of the premier offensive players in the game. I want the man doing what he does best. Be comfortable out there and go get the shots you're comfortable making. He needs to be afforded that amount of leeway.

JVG gets on his soap box too much. Hubie is really the best.

They were basing their prejudice on Bulls game and waiting for Cav's to kick it into gear and Knicks bench to melt down.

Agreed. I find Barkley amusing in small doses and he doesn't hate the Knicks because he says we suck every year, he's just stating the obvious. Hubie's great, I wish he did all our national games. I also really enjoy Doug Collins.

Hubie is GREAT!!! He really breaks it down and he has no agenda. Just pure Basketball is what you get from Hubie.

Hubie is the best in the business. He's a teacher at heart, and he wants you to understand the game. He's certainly explained a lot to me over the years that I wouldn't have realized was going on.

I Like Barkley. Mumbles and all. If you don't like the anti knick understand its well deserved and the only way to get rid of it is to win more than lose!!! Really simple.

It's not well deserved during a live game when the Knicks were winning and in a game that they were supposed to be the Washington Generals to the Cavs Globtrotters....Bash the Knicks during the TNT show, but live, during a game when the Knicks were playing extremely well. Analyze the actual game and leave your agenda on the shelf for the after game show or during a blow out....

I just rewatched the game this morning and Barkley was driving me totally insane. Never liked him, but he was despicable. His bias is one thing, but it is just the sheer idiocy of this man and the godawful garbage that comes out of his mouth that blows my mind. How does he have a job? Who did he blackmail? Totally wack. And to think he once thought he would run for Governor of Georgia. What a clown.
