are the packers 4-4 on the road and 0-4 at home? no, it's a different situation. I'm not saying fans aren't allowed to boo, of course they are. I'm just saying THIS Knicks team is clearly an example of the team not being comfortable at home and the fans aren't helping.

hey, I just thought ny fans were supposed to be so smart that they'd realize that the booing was hurting the team's chances, even if throwing a temper tantrum did make them feel better. I don't understand this at all - "I paid, I'm allowed to boo." didn't you pay to see the Knicks WIN? if you cheered them at least in the beginning of the game, maybe it'd help. maybe it wouldn't. but 11-0 run at home with the crowd booing/murmuring/sighing/weeping/whining.

why does the team have to be manly but the fans get to be petulant little children? cuz they paid?

again, I'm not saying it's the only reason, but there IS a pattern here: beat the Cavs on the road, lost at home, beat Boston on the road, lost at home, played the Spurs, Rockets and Bulls among others better on the road than at home. I just don't understand why fans would pay money if they are more interested in grandstanding than rooting for the team to win. especially when they're "the most sophisticated fans in the world." if you want to boo the team at the game - last laugh's on you - Dolan is still getting your money - LOL!

someone else here said this, but the most damning thing to Dolan would be the echoes of an empty Garden. that's more effective than booing. so yeah, booing makes no sense whatsoever to me.

yea, we see how the booing helped the packers, the jets went on to paste the packers even more in the second half...

"I can't be mad at them for me playing like garbage," Marbury said. "Was I surprised [to hear the boos]? They came here to see us win. They didn't come to see us lose. I knew I was going to get it. I had a bad game."

sounds pretty close.

oh, without the manly stuff though.

I don't think it's about booing per se so much as the tolerance level the fans have for the booing. The Knicks have been booed just about every home game this season, starting from the very first game. It's just created a toxic environment to play in. And it's not something limited to when the fans actually do boo-- think about going into a home game *expecting* to be booed at some point. It's different than just getting booed when you're getting blown out. Hey, I thought the crowd was alright for Toronto, but even then I heard a smattering of boos after the Knicks botched the first two possessions of the game, which gives you an idea of where the situation is at.
