Where did you find this news? Perhaps they are making room for Mike Breen, who IMO is a lot more entertaining to listen to. Of course, if Dolan made the decision, I'm probably wrong to defend him.

Well obviously Breen will get the job, but how do you figure he's more entertaining than Marv? Marv is a legend in the broadcasting business.

Marv has just got tiring and I just feel it's time for a changing of the guard. I don't have a problem with the move. I do, however, have a problem with the guy who did it.

MSG and the Dolans issued a statement saying that Marv Albert would not be back with the Knicks.

I like Mike Breen more, but no one they have currently can replace Marv Albert.

hey V, you are missing Tiny Archibald. He was a legendary PG in the NYC area.

Clyde has about 10 lines. Every play, every night, he just picks one to fill-in in that particular situation. He's so damn boring and sounds silly at times. If Greg Anthony was willing to give up his ESPN spot, I think he'd be a good analyst. He's a former Knick, has a good vocabulary, has a sense of humor, and knows his sh*t. Plus he hasn't been out of the game for over 20 years. Having him would really help Breen out.

Greg Anthony fills in play-by-play with the Knicks already, so expect to see him sometimes. I really like the transition he has made from player to analyst.

As for John Starks, vdf has to be kidding. Starks has trouble speaking, let alone being the play-by-play man for the Knicks. I wouldn't even want to hear him attempt to be the color analyst, but the thought of him doing play-by-play is downright comical. I love John Starks, but he just doesn't speak well. Hopefully he will improve, but I'd keep him doing the halftime work with Trautwig. Earl Monroe does a good job with the color when Clyde sits one out. Clyde is great.

Anyone who has anything bad to say about Marv Albert's play-by-play work is clueless with a capital C. Dolan and the Garden should be ashamed of themselves for trying to reign in his criticisms of the Knicks and essentially pushing him out the door. What a joke.
