Can Zema Explain Clyde And Walt Being "Paid To Brainwash People Against NY"?
You've Said This 3 Times Within 1 Page Of Replies, I'm Interested In What The Agenda Is
We All Know How Breen Can Be But He Was A Knicks Fan Before You Shot Out Ya Daddys Nuts, Please Explain This Brainwashing 
It's not
just their job to call games and report stats. It's their job to teach you how to think about each player and team. They do it very well. Example: Breen was saying the Clips complain to the refs a lot. What does that have to do with the call, how they're playing, and how they play? Nothing. There's a reason it's in their job description to tell you how to think about
behavior, rather than just basketball. It's like the news, they don't just report it, they interpret for you. Brainwashing.
Breen used to be very objective. During the 2009 WCF between the Lake Show and Denver, the other "analysts" were comparing 2 superstars (can't remember which 2), and Breen said "why compare them, they're both great". Now that Breen is so popular and people love him, the NBA saw an opportunity to use him to brainwash people. So now, 99.9% of the dialogue during games from Breen, Clyde, and Van Gundy aren't about stats and what's happening in the game. Most of it is about other things like their behavior, the latest gossip, what trouble they might be in, their personality, narratives like the money made them make certain choices (if Breen says it, it must be true), etc.
Exhibit A:
What does McHale have to do with that game? Just call the game and I'll form my own opinion of McHale being fired. Right now, the game is on.
Some quotes about this from around the league:
“Media is a business. It’s
more about getting eyeballs to coverage,
than properly informing people. Often done through scare tactics, and troll tactics.”
“I hate the business of media. Negativity sells ads, Narratives get callers, piss off the biggest market and get us talking. Objectivity, truth and real analysis don't sell. Trolling does.”
“Here's the thing about media and fans: Once they decide they don't like someone, they try to shape evidence to fit that line of thinking.”
A good friend of mine said it best when he said:
“Education and critical thinking is so sparse in the U.S., that media corporations are easily used as propaganda machines focused on influencing public opinion; telling people what to think and how to feel.”
That is what all media, including sports media, is in summary.
You can tell when their following a script too. They're not good at acting. They try to sound "natural", but you can tell it's a talking point written on a card that they were told to bring up. It's just brainwashing.
Breen has officially sold NY out to keep his job:
During the Pelican's game, Breen kept pointing out how they weren't doubling 'Melo because MSG knew they were gonna play a clip of 'Melo explaining that he was being doubled a lot late in games (that's how KP got that open shot in Charlotte). So, Breen made it a point to say "single-coverage" before 'Melo would shoot, to force the narrative that 'Melo doesn't get doubled a lot. He has never done that to a player before. I defy anyone to provide an example. Then he said "Carmelo has faced doubles in his career, but I think it's x, y and z", what do you think it is Clyde". So, it doesn't matter what 'Melo says it is, even though he's the one going through it. It's whatever Breen and Clyde says it is.
And in the 4th, right before 'Melo shot the ball, Clyde made it a point to say "this is where 'Melo has to step up because his team needs a basket". That was a lie. NY had the lead. 'Melo missed the shot. 'Melo went on to score 8 points in that quarter on 50% shooting and they won, so Clyde, Breen, and the people they work for lost that night. The new anti-'Melo narrative they're trying to force is that 'Melo just doesn't "step up" for his team late in games when before that game, he was averaging 5 points in the 4th, ranking in the top 30, even while coming off of injury. People stay lying on 'Melo. He's now averaging 5.3 points in the 4th on the season, ranking in the top 25.
Before the game against Charlotte in the Garden, Clyde was drooling over Batum's highlights. When they were showing 'Melo's, all he talked about was how they should have doubled him and that's why 'Melo was shooting so well. He wasn't calling for doubles on Batum, he was just saying that's how good Batum is.
'Melo stayed home for the money, even though he left
buku millions on the table by locking himself in to a 4 year deal and not renegotiating his contract next season when the cap will go way up, and has a no-trade clause. Lj is renegotiating his contract next season when the cap is going way up, but Lj wasn't thinking about money. During 'Melo's 62 point game, Breen made it a point to say "you know he wants to shoot it", so that 'Melo's performance would be about the ballhog narrative, rather than his great performance. During the recent Charlotte game, Kenny Albert said Cody Zeller defended 'Melo when he dropped 62. That was an intentional lie to minimize 'Melo's performance. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was being abused by 'Melo so much that Clyde said the team should help him by doubling 'Melo.
When 'Melo takes 18 shots on weak team, he's a ballhog. When Lj takes 20 on a stacked team, he's brilliant. Curry too. Breen even made it a point to say during a game "Lj is taking 18 shots per game. 'Melo is taking 19". It keeps going up and down but right now Lj is taking more than 'Melo on the season. When Lj takes 32 shots per game on 39.8% shooting in the Finals on a much better team than 'Melo's, he's "putting his team on his back". If Melo did that, he'd be garbage under the gutter. 'Melo is a ballhog for his fga's but Lj is brilliant for his, even though Lj has more fga's than 'Melo for their careers, and has 'Melo hasn't had the teammates Lj has had.
When 'Melo averages 3.1 assists on a weak team, and not even control the ball anywhere near the amount of someone like Lj and KD (when RW was out), he's garbage. When Durant averages 3.0 assists on a stacked team, and controls the ball a lot, he's brilliant. When Lj averages 4 assists in the Finals on a stacked team, and controls the ball a lot, he has "no help". Dirk is a great shooter who can't defend, pass, nor rebound, and he's called a great player. 'Melo can do
all those things and is called a great
offensive player.
Those are just a few examples. There are plenty more.
Be from LA and think you know more about the Knicks than a Knicks fan from NY brehs.
You mentioned you became a Knicks fan recently so how you gonna know more about the franchise than I do?! I don't live in NY but I've been going to Knicks games since the late 90s. I know a thing or two about this team. i don't think you've ever agreed with a fellow Knicks fan in any thread because once you see something you don't like you write a paper on how that person is wrong and everything you say is right. How are 30-40+ Knicks fans on this board all wrong and you the only one that's always right?
for the most part everyone here gets along and if we disagree everyone gets their points across and nobody beefs but how everytime u get into a discussion with someone it's like you talk down to them like everything they point out is wrong ?
