    As I've said before, a living room full of Spurs fans could call the games just as well as their broadcasting crew.

    I was on the road during the game so I listened to Knicks radio and it wasn't too bad but the commentary was definitely not impartial. They focused on Jordan Hill a lot but it was definitely one-sided. I heard a lot of "oh no's" and stuff about how Houston is "just a 2 win team" that the Knicks should not be losing to.

    Even though clyde and bull make some asanine comments, I am always happy to hear them commentate with bill. Always gives me a sense of 'home'. Like comfort food. Sure there are better comentators out there but ill take bill and bull anyday. Clyde... meh.

    I like Mike Breen's voice as the PBP guy as well. The Knick fans have no idea how lucky they are.

    I really dont mind Bull's commentary until he try too hard to be funny. Basketball wise, he usually does a decent job of explaining things to the casual fan. Clyde on the other hand is more humorous and has good chemistry with Bill, but basketball wise... yeah he sucks.

    As for Walt Frazier, I think he sounds dull and un-interested most of the time, but he does have some decent phrases and comments basketball related. He sees the game really well and could coach D'antoni's defense under the table. Must be frustrating to watch that from the sideline every game for him.

    I thought we traded for Frazier in the T-Mac deal.

    Listening to Walt Frazier makes me want to stick my hand in a garbage disposal. He is one of the most boring people to ever find their way on TV in any capacity.

    I beg to differ, sir.

    His analogies are glorious, his unnecessary use of the most complex words in his vocabulary is beyond entertaining, and he's very knowledgeable and passionate about the game. His commentary's pure gold.

    Frazier is a funny dude man. He'll rip the Knicks when they're playing soft and give props to the opposing team when they're doing well.

    The Knicks have a great crew, makes watching the Knicks this year easy on the ears.

    I've realized that the Rockets have below average commentators, Bill is either way too old or he is just dull. Drexler is terrible and Bullard is a huge whiner.

    His extensive vocabulary makes my brain discombobulated.

    Gotta agree. Clyde Frazier is why I try to watch parts of Knicks home games on a regular basis.

    If Calvin Murphy started a school for sports commenting, I'd be the first to enroll.
