Sergio Rodriguez Just Wants to Play

Third string point guards don't tend to get a lot of minutes. Sergio has never shown himself to be anything better than that. He should consider himself lucky to have an NBA contract. He's stuck behind Steve Blake for a reason, and Steve Blake is not an elite point guard.

Clyde's coverage of the knicks season opener, is it real. Only a hand few of people will be able to confirm. Not every body is going to have a copy of that first to find out.

Here's how it went.

The boo generator , screwing up my whole knick experience with his rhetoric. We probably lost every Young new fan after listening to his commentation. He’s the worst!!
ok, here goes.
1st 19 minutes of the game no praise for the shooter of the first 7 shots. In fact negative comments. Starts off by noting that Crawford had a dreadful pre-season. That’s boo generator’s way of setting the stage for a let down) First 19 minutes Zahc hit’s the rim, Boo generator says OH.
Knick gets the ball back, Boo generator says, “right before Zahcs shot”, Both team getting second opportunities but can they finish (setting the stage for a let down) but to no avail zahc scores. No comment from the opponent cheerleader/Boo generator. Instead he comments about he knicks dreadful pre season. ( do we really need to hear that on the opening day when so many are whatching.
Can’t it wait)Wade scores the boo generator say’s WADE WILL NOT BE DENIED.
Crawford scores again after, no comment from the boo generator.Then zahc scores, delay reaction from the Boo generator.
Note: 1st 20 minutes of the game
Marion passes to wade for the basket, Boo generator comments GOOD DISH BY MARION TO FIND WADE COMING ON THE BASELINE.
No negative comments from gus, thus far.
The boo generator points out that Q Richardson has been shooting POORLY AND HE’S LOOKING TO ERUPT(setting the stage) he points out after when Lee makes an attempt , LEE HESITATED, YOU CAN’T DO THAT!, YOU NEED TO BE CONFIDENT.
26 min
Crawford drives and takes a shot and misses. Boo generator says THAT’S WHAT CRAWFORD HAS TO STAY AWAY FROM, THAT’S NOT A GOOD SHOT, CRAWFORD HAD SOMEONE OPEN ON THE PERIMETER.
(Talk about scrutiny, no room for error on the boo generator’s watch)
28
The Boo Generator comments when Marion scores a layup OMNI PRESENT MARION SHOWING HIS LEAPING ABILITY TWICE then he breaks it down TWICE ONCE WITH THE REJECTAND THIS TIME SCORING OFF THE GLASS Boo Generator/opponent cheerleader points out we knocked it out of bound. (Were watching the set to Boo guy, this is not radio, are you going to point out when someone scratches. Some negative things can be overlooked)
By this time Crawford the great had scored the first seven points and finally the boo generator (obligated to comment) acknowledges.

32min
Now the Boo Generator, goes to work on our other shooter who checks in from the bench. ( Yea, I’m a die hard knick fan, I refer to the NYK as” our”) Anyway, the boo generator goes to work on Chandler.
Marion Scores the Boo generator notes, This is after chandler’s scoring on one end, CHANDLER HAS TO GET UP ON MARION, HE’S JUST STANDING THERE NOT CONTESTING THE SHOT.
If you have it on tivo go back to it and see for yourself, just watch the first 20 minutes. Print my comments and compare. This guy is notorious.
33min
Fans are cheering, at least on my set on Direct TV, Lets Go Knicks!
The Boo generator (see for yourself, we were down ONE POINT)) says THE HEAT HAS TAKEN THE CROWD OUT OF THE GAME. As the Boo Generator is saying this Lee is scoring. (can you believe this guy, what stadium was he in, is there glue on the mouth piece of his head set?, what is he breathing!?)
(how much did it take for the boo generator to say something positive, without a negative about Crawford. What has he said nice about chandler until this point 35min. Compare his boo generating comments to any other commentator, whether it be other teams or co-announcer. He is the captain. Nobody can generate more boo’s and discuss than he can. He is subtle to the naked eye. It takes a keen mind, and I am not trying to insult 99% of you, to notice what this guy has done for years. Why? My guess is that he wants an early vacation. Playoffs will delay his trip to the islands. Why else would you toss the home team under a bus? I don’t know. Compare his enthusiasm when the home team scores and the opponent scores, night and day. I mean talk about imposters. This guy takes the cake, candles and all.

Chandler scores no individual praise as he will do for Banks from the opposing team. Instead a courtesy team gesture. In the same instance after Chandler scores, Nate the great steals the ball and runs it down to the basket in an attempt to beat the clock. No enthusiasm from the Boo Generator. ( Now how do you mask something like a spurt of enthusiasm, I mean even if you were playing the good cop, bad cop routine, how do you control something like that. Why would you try? I mean this feeling of unhappiness must be in the root of his mind. Imposter! I mean, I am a die hard Knick fan, but if I am watching a game and I see Jordan leap in the air on single bound, and stuff that ball in that basket; shit you gotta say, Dam! That was hot. I mean this guy, and I think by now you know who I am referring to; ok I will say it, the BOO GENERATOR is cold. I mean this guy is unbelievable. I mean this guy has kid knick fans wearing his tee shirts. )

Banks from boo’s team, drives to the basket and Gus Johnson, “The real deal”, points out, it appears he got away with a travel ,“ right before he scores. The Boo generator follows Gus remark with, DID YOU SEE THE IMPOTENCE OF BANKS, THE WELL BUILT BACK COURT MAN, now this guy must have had 6d contacts on, because his direction is clear. He goes on to say, THAT TIME, OVERWHELMING THE KNICKS.
Then He manages the Digital Replay and says THE HANGING AND BANGING of Banks, I mean this was starting to sound like something from a flick. He praised this Muscle guy, more than any knick in the history of basketball. (OK, that’s an exaggeration, but you get the point.) This guy has a vision, the islands. What else can it be?
47
Then Marty Collins, takes it to the basket. The opposing Cheerleader/Boo generator conveniently points out (Negative/positive) that Marty, previously Failed when he went to the basket and now he’s back on the line. (Very close to what he said. Don’t take my word for it. Listen for yourself)When Marty misses the second foul shot, You know who; OK, I will say it, The Boo Generator, whispers OH COLLINS.

GOOD JOB BY BANKS SACRIFICING HIS BODY, THE BOO GENERATOR PRAISES AGAIN.(All I am saying is that if he coverage is going to be unfair, than let it lean towards the away team, since they have there own commentators. I have seen the coverage for the opposing team and that’s how they do it. I still can’t believe that he said the Heat was taking the fans out of the game when we were down by one point. That is totally bias. He said it while the fans were cheering. Listen for your self. That’s the way I heard it on direct tv.)

Knicks are winning, the boo generator comments, both teams are in disarray.
He praises Banks again who charges for a layup. The Boo Generator/opposing cheerleader says BANKS WITH HIS QUICKNESS AND POWER, BREAKING DOWN THE KNICKS DEFENSE TO GET TO THE LINE. He continues and says, THE COACH IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POOR KNICK DEFENSE. (This is the season opener, cut the knicks some slack, boo generator, they were only losing by 1 point. Give the coach a break, are you aiming for him to have a nervous breakdown)
50
Chandler makes a master dunk no enthusiasm by the boo generator in the same sequence, Nate the great steals the ball and scores, back to back plays, The Boo Generator, finally obligated to say something because of the sequence of events throws the Knicks a bone and says something nice.(Now if that had been the other team, The boo generator would have pulled out his remote and replayed on the digital cam, the spectacular efforts of the team)
50
Then #30 from the heat does a mediocre layup, the boo generator compliments him, this was right after the dunk and nate the great steal which the boo generator did not compliment Nate on.
Then Gus the magnificent, replays the Chandler dunk, the boo generator, obligated to comment throws the Knicks a bone.
54
Jamal attempts a three and misses , the Boo Generator/opposing cheer leader comments Jamal had a remarkable start(positive/negative) but now he is struggling) then he goes on to say after an illegal defense, that the knicks is so concerned with Banks they cause an illegal defense . BANKS HAS BEEN BREAKING DOWN THE DEFENSE he continues.
Q shuts him up by scoring then obligation sets in again.
It would be nice to give him a taste of his own medicine. Fire the boo generator! Would be the best chant I could here at the garden. Fire the boo generator! Fire the boo generator! Fire the boo generator!
Don’t take my word for anything I said today. Go back to your TIVO and replay it. On channel I was watching the knicks fans were cheering when the boo generator made that comment, that the heat took the fans out of the game.
It took me time and effort to deliver this to you guys, I hope the fans from this blog and the others that I will post it on appreciate it.
Your Welcome! Now let’s give the Boo generator a taste of his own medicine. Sorry in advance for any typos.
I only saw the first 55 minutes. I will watch the remainder today. Did the fans finally take the boo generator out of his game? Yep They Did. The Knicks came through and Won!

Is Clyde being replaced? Finally a new guy yesterday.

Rodriguez gives the answer to this problem in his quoted interview. He doesn't want to be traded; he wants to be the coach and replace McMillan!
It is not the player's job to figure out the rotation. It's the player's job to play the game as coach says.
Hey Rodriguez watch "Hoosiers"! And learn!
