I like watching Isiah suffer.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

Whether I like players on the team, whether the team blows, whether Isiah is still coaching, I just have to watch the Knicks. It's also still fun to watch the other teams that come into the Garden.

Also, who doesn't want to listen to Clyde?

i have'nt orderd my annual league pass 'cause i'm so pi$$ed, but i gotta keep up by way of you guys and highlights. probably because of my fixation w/these damn knicks. i try to hate but my love is too strong, regardless of what this "team" does to me. it's like having two wives.

Pretty much it. I want them to win and when they do like the CHI game it's still fun to watch them. When they lose I pretty much just watch the train wreck and laugh while marveling at the other team's 20-2 run - and wait to hear the crowd attack them as well.

I dunno...just can't stop watching. I tried. I shut off that Orlando game. I didn't watch the game in Houston. I've caught all the others though.

I dont watch anymore and I seriously root for the team to lose. This isnt like LBs season or last year, when you could say we had a young team, or a new group, or it was just a coaching problem. With this group its painfully obvious that the Knicks or just a bunch of overpaid, overrated scrubs. THERE IS NO HOPE. I have better things to do with my time then come home at 3AM and waste 2 hours of my life to watch DVRd Knick games where we dont even compete.

And the truth is, I feel that my level of happiness has improved greatly.

Good for you guys who are not watching. Kudos. Why do you care if others still watch?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I only care about others who still attend games. People who pay ridiculous amounts of money to attend games at MSG and then chant fire Isiah are, IMO, idiots. They don't realize Isiah will never get fired as long as the Garden keeps selling out.

As for me, I barely watch. I usually find something to do while they're playing and check the score from time to time on Yahoo. If it's a sure loss in the final minutes, I put it on to laugh at them and then hear Isiah's excuses in the press conference.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I haven't watched a game all season... the writing was on the wall.

I have, however, listened to them on internet radio, because I needed my Knicks fix. It's pathetic that I can't completely walk away.

With all the tourists that go to games, and with all the cheap ticket $10-$25 promotions I don't see the Garden hurting for money even though there are many empty seats. Those seats aren't empty because they aren't being purchased. Most of them are no-shows.

Its like we're watching what we're told is a Rocky movie. You think at some point, the theme music is going to start playing, and we're going to fight our way out of the corner.

You want to be watching when that moment happens.

Might not be for a while though.

I hadn't watched any games for maybe three weeks, then I attended the Houston game last night because I got free tickets.

It was much more enjoyable in my newly-detached state. I was not really rooting for the team to win or lose. Just watching a basketball game.

I attend and watch every single game.

I think watching Isiah get run out of town by an entire city makes me feel just a little bit better about my own pathetic life...

same exact situation. I stopped after those 2 losses, because they were the clearest indication that we suck. I dont watch anymore, I may flip the tv on to see a few plays but as soon as I see some stupidity, which is almost instantly, i turn.it is just too painful.

I will always watch the Knicks because I am a fan. Before Isiah I was watching games and I will continue to watch games when he is gone. Basketball is a game that I love to see. I don't care if it is 13 year olds having fun playing I will watch them play. When we first got Ewing this was a losing team and I watched the Knicks. There is nothing going to change now.

gotta respect that C, but that's some frustrating shlit.
