Kick, punch, it’s all in the mind
If you try to test me, I’m sure you’ll find
That the one piece is real /s
Edit: one piece is ball eh
Not even a Knicks fan, but this shit is 🔥
💯 give me more of this
Check out her instagram to see all of them all the way into last year, Divincenzos miraculous 3 against the sixers last postseason is the best of these videos.
Can’t do insta
Agree on that, don’t want to give zuck any of my attention to sell to advertisers.
I’ve watched this over and over again and it’s so damn good
This is the radio broadcast I captured from the game - from Jayson Tatum dunk, to the steal by Mikal Bridges, and the fact they couldn’t find someone to interview, and their opinions after the game.
Radio broadcast are just so good.
You can tell Monica McNutt is one of us. She couldn’t even speak during the whole sequence and went nuts like a crazy passionate fan!
She almost knocked off both of their headsets, lmao
She has more willpower than me. Went into pro mode rq
that’s the best part. I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING. wait…job first
Lmfao
The ability to collect herself then deliver the nuance of whats happening now in connection to larger narratives. She is one of the best.
I’m so impressed at how she pulled herself together to deliver that summation off the cuff. What a professional.
Monica is a Knicks goddess. So great at what she does, knows hoops, diehard for NYK, beautiful, and charismatic
Haha, I agree with you completely but this is radio, I don’t think she’s suppose to, people are trying to listen down to the second what is happening and not what they are thinking
if anything she was trying to hold back from screaming to not interrupt the play by play
Impressed that she freaked out without making a sound / without interrupting the play by play
She’s not supposed to speak because it’s distracting from the play-by-play. You’re totally right about her being a huge fan though. What you’re actually seeing is here trying her absolute hardest NOT to make any noise while also having a huge natural reaction to what was going on on the court.
That was a nut if I’ve ever seen one.
Second time I’ve seen a McNutt clip and she seems pretty good. Do Knicks’ fans like her as an announcer?
Also, good to see a woman get something besides a sideline reporter gig.
She is great, has been doing the radio color commentating for a while and she has even done it on the MSG network streaming in place of Clyde.
She’s objective and passionate.
its just commentating, no need to bring color into this
I actually agree, my radio can’t show any color whatsoever.
Wow, white noise suddenly lost its identity with you? Disgusting behavior, do better.
Man if being color blind is a crime, put me in El Salvador already smh…
Well now you’re colorblind and tone deaf. My god you left a bad taste in my mouth if you smell what I’m cooking. You feel me?
Sensual.
Our color commentary, Kayte, would’ve said “I didn’t get a good angle on that play”
And then go into a diatribe about an experience she had
While Monk does his signature mohawk slamma jamma and she’ll continue whatever she is spewing the next three possessions. Love it.
I think she’s great but based on this clip I’m throwing a challenge flag on ‘objective’ lmao
And that’s totally cool with me
Knicks fans have been riding with Monica for years now. You can even see in this thread people want her to replace Clyde at MSG when he retires.
Whatever keeps her in the Knicks org is all I care about. She’s been one of the best subs for Clyde on the road games.
She’s our princess Diana
Golly I hope not
She got do broadcast a road trip with Breen earlier this season (Clyde doesn’t go on the road as much anymore) and the fans really liked her. MSG Network has kinda been trying out different people to eventually get that spot once Clyde finally calls it a career, so a bunch of people have gotten the opportunity. I’d say her and Jamal Crawford are the ones fans that I’ve seen seemed to like the most.
Fans love her in general though whether it’s the post game table or commentary. Definitely a rising star in the industry whatever she picks as her career path, whether it’s more national stuff or Knicks stuff.
Personally I like them both but I feel Crawford is more insightful during studio segments while Monica has an energy that blends nicely with the vibe of a live game.
Us Knicks fans are absolutely spoiled when it comes to who and how talented our commentators and analysts are.
That’s New York sports media for you. There’s a lot of talent out there to pick from cause it’s a place everybody in that field flocks to.
Having Kenny Albert who calls (or at least has called) all 4 major sports leagues in America as our backup is crazy. Then sometimes you just get Gus Johnson who is a legend in his own right lol
I loved Crawford he was a great choice on paper (former well-liked Knick, great career, tons of recent league experience) and he definitely had plenty of ability to give great insight and show a little personality…but it’s not like the charisma jumps out of your TV speakers. Monica is sort of the opposite: less basketball clout and experience (though still enough) and a ton of charisma, passion, and ability to express herself.
Yeah she knows ball and she knows the Knicks. She was a former player too.
She doesn’t over yap about meaningless shit like Doris. Monica keeps it real and brief.
Yeah I feel like most of us do. She’s a Knicks fan but doesn’t act like the Knicks can do no wrong like many other color commentators in sports do. She calls out their bullshit, praises their positives, and provides solid insight. She checks all the boxes for me.
She’s a Knicks fan but doesn’t act like the Knicks can do no wrong like many other color commentators in sports do
That’s Walter Robert Szczerbiak Jr to you
Bro gets on the mic just to do tricks on it, embarrassing behavior honestly lmao. Like read the room with how your colleagues act lol
This is how I learned Wally World is a commentator.
He does the pre and postgame and halftime analysis on MSG mostly. He’s better there than in the booth lol…definitely our biggest homer but I kinda like that because everyone else keeps it pretty damn objective
i think she’s great, she did the Christmas Day game with Mickey Vision, against the spurs this season and was fantastic
We adore her
Lotta fans are hoping she can fill Clyde’s patent leather shoes one day.
Jamal Crawford filled in a bunch of games this season and did well too. Hope we lock up both since they both doing some national coverage too Ala Mike Breen.
Pretty positive Jamal signed with NBC unfortunately. Happy for him but sad for us. He was very promising.
Yeah we adore her — she’s the worthy successor to Clyde
She is excellent and deserves whatever job she wants. Would love to see her take over for Clyde eventually, even though nobody can ever replace him. She is really smart, fairly objective, GREAT at knowing the time to inject commentary vs letting there be pauses and breaks to let moments soak in. And you can tell she’s a huge Knicks fan but doesn’t let it cloud her judgement or how she calls things.
She is often on ESPN now too I think.
Amongst Knicks fans she seems like the heir apparent for Clyde’s job when he’s done. We love Monica
We love her
I think the reception to her is very positive. She’s very insightful in her commentary and is very knowledgeable of the numbers along with the context and circumstances to properly interpret them. The best part though is her clear passion for calling these games for the Knicks. If Clyde ever decides to call it a career, I hope she succeeds him.
I like her as an alternate color commentator but it’s hard to replace Clyde. Her>Wally sczerbiak for sure though
I mean that’s easy, I’d almost have Rebecca over Wally.
It goes her>jamal>Hahn>old man gus>Tina cervasio>old shoe>random knick city dancer>Rebecca>wally
Gotta appreciate the craft and work it takes to be a good announcer: keeping your emotions in check and having your talking points and stats ready to go at a moments notice. It’s harder than it looks.
She’s fantastic and has been doing these reaction vids to down-to-the-wire Knicks’ wins for a minute
She also called out Stephen A Smith for not watching WNBA games when he was cosplaying as someone with WNBA expert knowledge…
She’s already a legend in my book.
MSG Network x Knicks really has some of the best basketball voices + brains in the league.
Knicks have been blessed by Clyde and Breen. The fact Monica has emerged in the past year or two is incredible. She’s brilliant and the natural heir to Clyde.
Absolutely love her. She’s stepped in for Clyde along with several others and she’s got what it takes more than most of em. I’d love her to take the reins when the GOAT finally steps down.
I work nights occasionally driving a truck. So I listen to games on the radio when I’m on the road. She’s easily one of my favorite commentators. She’s super knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for the Knicks
we love her. most of us are convinced shes being groomed to replace clyde one day. shes great.
Love her; there’s a large contingent of fans (including myself) that hopes she takes over for Clyde once he retires
she’s great. She loves the Knicks and we love her
McNutt really is coming into her own as a color commentator. I can see her replacing the irreplaceable Clyde when he decides to retire
There are few people in this league that the game won’t be the same without as broadcasters. Clyde is one of them. Breen and Stu Lantz are my other two.
Mad respect coming from a Kings fan to give Stu his flowers.. a piece of me died when chick died, but I was still kind of young, Stu has been an absolute constant in my life. Respect
don’t forget Harlan!
I’ve been blessed to have Breen and Clyde calling Knicks games for me for what feels like forever.
I’m old enough to not have not been able to afford cable television back in the day. I lived through those early 90s Knicks teams by listening to Clyde and Breen call them on the radio.
I don’t even like to think about Clyde leaving. Legit makes me emotional lol. I have a lot of trouble imagining anyone overtaking him as the GOAT Knick in my eyes. Hall of fame player with our only two titles and a hall of fame broadcaster with almost 40 years blessing us with his one-of-a-kind approach to color commentary. My username is even a Clyde line lol
Also, Breen is his ride or die. The one true blessing Knicks fans have had for decades.
Yeah I love her too, as long she can be unbiased and call the Knicks deficiencies as well like Clyde she will be more than enough as the next color commentator.
her name is also great
McNutt.
A bunch of Knick fans McNutted last night.
These 2 have amazing chemistry. McNutt is on national TV from time to time but I love her passion for the Knicks. Hope if Clyde ever decides to hang it up, she’s the one to succeed him.
I know Tyler he’s an awesome guy and it makes me so happy to see people appreciating him here.
I think most people expect for her to fill in for Clyde whenever he’s done. I selfishly hope it isn’t soon as I need at least a couple more seasons of Breen and Clyde calling games together.
If Monica isn’t Clyde’s replacement as main color commentator at MSG we riot.
I think there’s a consensus that Monica might have too much going on with ESPN, but it’d be great for her to at least be on games for MSG every once in a while.
Breen gets pretty busy too but he’s still our guy.
I’m hopeful they can work something out if there’s a will to do so.
Jamal Crawford is better replacement as a former NBA player imo. Monica just has kind of a high energy voice, but we already have that with Breen’s bangs
Jamal was a bright spot on those terrible mid-2000s teams but I don’t love him doing the color. I’d 100% take him over Wally and Alan Hahn, but he just feels so mechanical when he’s commentating. When Mike Breen is doing play-by-play, especially on MSG, you can tell that he’s living his dream. Same goes for Monica.
I hope they work out some kind of platoon especially since jamal is going to be doing games for NBC.
Jamal Def has a unique perspective with this crew since hes played under Thibs and played with mikal and kat.
Monica is a gem 💎
She was locked in before the buzzer
Im starting to believe, I was banned from knicks reddit for calling Brunson a midget…. I was wrong. Dudes ice cold
Respect the honesty brother
You over 6 foot 2 homie? Just curious.
Slightly, and he is listed 6 foot 2 but he looks real small out there
Shut up, midget.
McNutt is rising
League Pass would be much better if you had an option to play the radio feeds over live video. Pretty sure the MLB offers it. NHL still does simulcasts… It’s an NBA specific thing where they don’t respect the radio broadcasters, they don’t even archive radio broadcasts anymore.
Basketball is so fast-paced nothing compares to a good radio call narrating every step and move of the play. That’s what you used to imagine as a kid balling out in the driveway or at school. Not Doris Burke going on some off-topic tangent.
I just mcnutted
gooner thoughts have won
We love her ❤️
Monica hit the BRAKES on shouting like a lunatic when they get the final stop.
You can see it in her face haha, she wanted to explode soooo bad but gathered herself, fist pumped and then went into her call
Monica busted her McNutt there
Monica McNutt is so good at doing color on the Knicks radio broadcasts. It’s always a treat when they’re on the Sirius XM national broadcast.
Great chemistry between them. Good broadcast
This was cool.
The respect for their skills just elevated even more when you can actually watch them doing what they do. It’s all the professional commentary you’ve come to expect unfolding in real time from people who are soaking up the action just like everyone else!
I’d watch this livestream for the games if available. Way better than listening to Lights every time.
McNutting
I would die for Monica
I’m still in disbelief. This team has stepped it up in these playoffs. I think the physicality we saw with Detroit made this series a bit easier. We’ve been a better road team all season, let’s get these wins at home and close this series.
love these posts.
The Boston fans in back leaving ahahaha
I respect her self control. If this was me I would be SCREAMING into the mic.
The way I was acting last night when Mikal snatched Tatum’s soul was not fucking normal. Like some kind of euphoric demonic possession.
i love this shot
CLIMB A TREE, TATUM SUCKS D, CELTICS CANT MAKE A 3!
SPIKE LEE, DAVID LEE, SUNI LEE, KNICKS IN 3
Monica HAS to take over for Clyde when he finally hangs it up.
Monica’s a real one, I listened to the fourth quarter after switching the game after the 20 point lead, great commentary and glad I caught on the last bit on tv. Completely agree, such a gritty team, group of dogs determined to win. I’ve seen a lot of Knick teams that were the opposite.
We gotta build a statue for the Knicks broadcasting legend Monica McNutt
Great call. That’s some epic commentary.
Worked with Tyler in minor league baseball, amazing person. Knicks fans you got a good one!
Funny cause he’s such a New England guy through and through but somehow he grew up a Knicks fan. Not sure if he hates the celts but this mustve felt good for him.
Wow I love this— the excitement and then coming back to ground themselves to do their job. Hahaha it’s so pure
I never heard of her before and I hate the knicks. But she’s great lol. Great call by both
I love Monica. She’s made for this job.
Her composure and professionalism.
I’m on the Knicks bandwagon
That’s a proper homer call. Love it
Wish TV still had great play-by-play guys like this.
That call was so good
I like this. Especially cuz it was against the celts.
I love Monica. She’s amazing!
Those are professionals lol. React while silent, compose themselves, then back to their jobs.
She went mcnutts
Lol gave me chills there for a sec
Since things aren’t looking great for the Warriors, the Knicks will be my backup team to root for.
Very nice. Now let’s see the Boston broadcasters reactions.
Tyler Murray’s reaction is priceless - like a kid who couldn’t believe his luck.
GIMME A KAT VS ANTHONY EDWARDS FINAL PLEASE JESUS
Jimmy will be in shambles.
Who is still listening to sports on radio if I may ask
People stuck in traffic or at work or at a stupid party you agreed to way before schedules were announced or the met gala.
People on the road like truck drivers and long commuters.
My son And I were on a road trip in texas and we wanted to watch the Mavs-Lakers game. I was driving (we had to get to our next destination) because of blackout rules we had to listen to the radio stream, it was actually a lot of fun.
Edit - typo
If you squint they look exactly like Miller and Harlan
What better place for Game 3 than MSG?
How can you listen to the radio online for sports? Someone was posting the other day about muting the TV and listening to the radio
It’s hard cause you have to sync it up since the buffering for both can be wildly different.
not a single Celtics fan in sight this week how beautiful
I believe!!
The stats will catch up…hope is before the Celtics get swept
I’ve watched this several times. Still getting chills.
Homerism done right, baby!
Shooting a big mcnutt for this one!
Love Monica McNutt!!! Can We Please Give Her Flowers Now!!!
Love the excitement
Mcnutt is a real knicks fan unlike that fraud Stephen A
I like Monica McNutt. She’s good at her job.
I mean yeah cool but those botched 3s def helped
Both announcers are very good at this.
Hype
Homers
This is special
Shout out Monica McNutt, leaps and strides since those first appearances on ESPN. Keep on blossoming Monica
Lol so funny
NY McNutt > Boston McButt
Love seeing the passion
inject this shit into my veins 🥹
Congrats Knicks fans!
They compliment each other very nicely
Damn it. Don’t make me like the Knicks.
This is really phenomenal. Great pair. Perfect for the job.
That’s why we like sports baby, just pure emotions, very cool to see
Her professionalism 💜
I love these two as a broadcast team.
ANYTHING IS POSSSIBBLLLEEEE
Orange & blue skies
You know what I wished she showed more of that emotion on the call. By the time she talks she’s so calm and collected. Let’s hear the love!
I like her
She did an excellent job not stepping on his call in the moment, not easy to do for local crews who are so invested in the outcome.
I love this shit
You know what? I WANT to see that Knicks vs Pacers in the Eastern Finals. And have Reggie Miller call it with Spike Lee :D
I like her voice. But not for basketball
I’d rather have Monica commentating for my station than Lisa for the Bucks. Can’t stand her voice. Monica is great.
Yap yap yap
That woman was on fire. Great announcing.
