I know some are very interested on who the announcers for our games going to be...

Just saw that Marv Albert and Steven Kerr will be doing our first game on TNT. At least we didn't get Mark Jackson who has been quite horrible as of late.

I like Albert and Kerr. As long as we don't get the atrocious Mark Jackson, Van Gundy and Breen trio, or Reggie Miller, I'm fine.

I like JVG, but I dislike the other too (though I can tolerate Breen a bit). If it means having to listen to Jackson, then I'm happy to avoid them. I liked them in our championship run.

I don't mind Reggie.

When is the NBA going to invite Mike Gorman, he's like the perfect guy to have for these games.

Surprised that people don't like the JvG trio. I find that crew hilarious.

I'm one of the few that thinks Marv Albert is overrated. His voice doesn't have enough emotion in it for the big moments. Some people like that and some don't.

Kerr's been awesome, though. Great during the NCAA tourney and for any TNT games. Maybe it's just too many Reggie Miller and Clyde Frazier games(weird guy), but I really enjoy Kerr's analysis.

I don't know about any others, but I have Mike Breen's "BANG!!" burned into my brain after hearing him go "BANG!!" in last years game 7 with the ice cold Fisher 3 and Artest 3..  :'(

Other then that I don't mind them too much, I'm more of a fan of JvG and Breen than Jackson.

Breen, JVG, and jackson are only on the ESPN/ABC broadcasts.

Are they showing the games on CSNNE too? In NYC, they are advertising the games will be on MSG (Knicks telecast). I'd prefer to watch TNT over MSG (although Breen and Clyde Frazier are kind of entertaining, but I doubt Breen will be doing the games because of ESPN), so we'll see.

     Mark Jackson knows all the cliches....it's just that he usually picks the wrong one for what actually happened. Breen?...well I guess no one cares. JVG?...well I'm sure his  Mom likes him...(Cough).

    The best of em all? Well, of course, our old friend McHale! Second best?   None    Third best? Barkley.

I don't know because I'll be watching the games on good old CSN. How else will I get to hear how terrible the refs are. O BOY.

If you had the option, wouldn’t you rather listen to broadcasters who are just as emotionally invested in the team as you are? That’s why I’m sticking with Mike and Tommy. The national guys could care less….
