Toppin was excellent and Sims looked very very good.

Sims was very impressive. Who knew? Toppin was looking good. Quickly looked good but shot was off.

Fran Fraschilla was saying that he thought Sims was better than Kai Jones.

Why is Monica McNutt, who covered the Knicks all season for MSG, relegated to doing sideline features one or two times a game? She’s great, what a waste of talent. As for the game, I was impressed by Obi’s ability to finish and wow, the athleticism of Sims! Liked the aggressiveness of Grimes and McBride as well. The very limited playing time of Vildoza doesn’t bode well for him.

Show need Fran as an analyst and the other guy was ok as an announcer. I do like her and figure we will see her more often.

The very limited playing time of Vildoza doesn’t bode well for him. While I love the low risk, high reward of getting Kemba, we should've doubled down on what Quickley, Mcbride and Vildoza brings to the 1. We have 5 point guards and 6 if you include Rokas, who was talking in an interview like he wanted to come over sooner than later. As for Monica, she's awesome but when you are a woman of color working for ESPN, as seen by the unrelated Rachel Nichols/Maria Taylor situation, opportunities are far and few between on that station. Which is why she's still on MSG PM. She does some ESPN shows as a guest sometimes as well.

I didn’t want to say it, Jason, but yeah I figured that was the reason. Kimberly Martin is another one. She covered the Jets for a few years then moved on to other teams, and I’m a big fan of hers. She’s on ESPN now and doing bit parts on Mike Greenberg’s show when she’s capable of so much more. And I can’t stand Greenberg! And his ratings always stink, so I’m not alone. Yet they give him different shows, they move his time, it’s never his fault. Kimberly is also on ESPN’s Sunday fantasy football show, and is she in the studio with the boys? No, she’s relegated to a remote spot from a stadium while the guy in the studio embarrassingly flirts with her. And while the problem is worse with women of color, it’s bad for all women in general with these outlets. Anita Marks on ESPN radio is great, but all she gets is spot jobs on weekends and when the guys are on vacation. And Kim Jones on WFAN is so much better than anyone else on that station it’s embarrassing for them that she doesn’t have her own show. It’s why I don’t listen to sports radio at all in the house only when I’m at work and only then because we can’t agree on what music to listen to!

Agreed on Kim Jones, I love when she filled in on the weekend. Then Carlin and Maggie Gray get a gig. Much rather listen to her than anyone on that station. They ruined Evan Roberts w that buffoon. Loved Bart Scott as wellC but he left. Evan and Joe actually talked the most “sports”. As does Kim.

Maggie actually works with Malusis now, who’s just awful. Carlin is actually pretty good, but like Bart Scott has moved to ESPN. As for Evan and Carton, I actually think Evan is the problem there. You’re right that Carton is a clown, but he can be pretty entertaining with the right co host but Evan has chosen to try to be a comedian too and that ruins the show. Boomer was a good straight man for Carton and kept him focused and on topic, but if Carton gets childish, Evan gets childish too and the show goes out of control. However who am I to argue with ratings and they’re now the number one show, so nothing will change.
