Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

The Knicks will be on national TV tonight...

...and I'm curious how everybody deals with that. The Knicks aren't much of a national draw these days, but they're getting a handful of nationwide broadcasts this season when playing big-name opponents. Tonight's game against the Cavaliers will be televised on ESPN, but also on MSG as usual. That creates a decision to be made for any in-market Knick fan: Which to watch? I'm curious what you guys think.

Poll
When the Knicks are on national television...
I watch the big-network broadcast. It's nice to see them get national attention and it's a break from the usual.

I watch the MSG broadcast. You can't pass up the smooth melodies of Walt Frazier

I watch the game somewhere else entirely.

what about the poll option that I don’t have access to MSG in california and so it will definitely be national tv?

true true

i considered that, but forgot to include it

I'll watch on ESPN

for the heck of it, but if they keep talking about “he who must not be named” going to NY or NJ too often, I’ll just watch hockey.

Odds are that they will say it a good 50 times before the game even starts. Might as well just watch the Islanders or Sabres game.

I'm out of state

So I find a pirated MSG broadcast online to watch.

Clyde > anyone else

I'll have to watch on ESPN

they’re announcers aren’t bad, actually the basketball crew is usually the best they have to offer (baseball announcers are horrendous, football OK).

Hopefully its a good game. If they win it’d be nice.

Be nice to see if there’s a few Yankee players in the crowd. Maybe they get cheered more loudly than the team (I think that happened after the Giants won and went to a Knick game)

How can

a blog whose very name is devoted to Clyde Almighty even ask this question?

Though I suppose that the involvement of JVG makes it a somewhat closer call.

oh

i voted clyde. but i might go with van gundy, because i’d like to hear him criticize the knicks. i’ll get my fair share of clyde on the knicks. but jeff van gundy bashing us is a rare thing. i might have to go to espn.

since I'm basically a basketball newb,

would anyone please explain why the blog is called posting and toasting? Thanks

clyde frazier

knick legend and msg commentator always rhymes his phrases. “posting and toasting” is one of them. the double entendre with blogging i would supose is also applicable.

i can’t believe i’m giving this lesson. i feel weird now.

two years ago

when they were on vs the celtics where they got killed.
All u heard was Marv Albert and Reggie Miller rip the Knciks and Isiah (of course it was on TNT)

by feaglesmvp on Nov 6, 2009 5:09 PM EST reply actions  

Marv

I’m still pissed at the idiot Dolan about that.

by fuhry on Nov 6, 2009 5:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Let's go

Cleveland is vulnerable right now and coming off a back to back. Mike D needs to get the team hyped up to run and win the game. The Knicks have been playing slow as balls on offense and D’antoni looks laid back and apathetic so far. I’m telling you this one is winnable and how sweet would it be making you know who look straight foolish on national TV 2 nights in a row

I tried to watch ESPN.

It lasted about 30 seconds — I just missed Clyde too much.

Knicks

Whatever network I choose, I realize one thing………. we are the worst team in the NBA! Been a fan of NY for 40 years and I am honestly embarrassed, never thought I would see it this bad!
