Ain't no way we gonna match the Celtics in my lifetime. I went to a Boston-Heat game couple years ago in the season the Celts won and there ain't nothin' but world championship banners hanging in their Garden... no Eastern Conference banners, no Atlantic Division banners. There's no room.

But if Miami gets their third before we get ours, I will be pissed. Then I'll cry.

im not old enough to recall when it really was that... no ny based college or pro team has won a title since long before i was born.

the knicks have been to the finals 8 times only the celtics, lakers, and sixers have been more times then that, not to mention less then 20 teams in the NBA have won a championship. even less have won 2 and I haven't even mentioned how many times the knicks have been to the conf. Finals

this team is nearing 40 years with only 1 title, and 2 other finals runs. unless you are in your mid to late 40s you have no mem of a champ knicks team. look, the bulls, pistons, spurs have all won more titles then the knicks... the flippin nyets have as many finals losses in the past 30 years as the knicks.

What's your point? I get it the knicks haven't been good for a while but I was under the influence this was a forum for knicks fans yet most of the time all I read is people dissing the knicks. Where'd the loyalty go? I'm young so the only knicks playoff game I've seen was a recording yet I'm still supportive. If you want to know why the knicks are a storied franchise then why don't you look up how many times the knicks have made the playoffs in their entire history and then compare that to every other team in the league, which would be hard to do because only a few of them have been around as long as the knicks have. This has been the worst decade in their history and because of that I think everyone has forgotten this so I'll remind everyone: LOSING IS NOT THE NORM IN NEW YORK

point --> ny at the college and pro level isnt the mecca it once was (hence my agreement with knicks1248).

what do you expect folks to say right now? how great it is to lose 50? if we didnt give a poop, no one would be here. folks are looking for better times... i would agree with you more if they had just a few down years in a row, unfortunately they have been trending down for as you noted 10 years. it isnt fun to watch, and yet, folks still post in game threads... most times its just hoping some of the younger guys are doing well. as noted, folks are looking for something to root for. hope this summer provides the elite talent boost to make this team relevant again.

I have to second this. I don't have love for either team and my disdain goes back and forth, depending whose in the lead. As a matter of fact, i'm pretty pissed off that the Cavs are playing well too.

You aint no real knick fan then so ..go on

You dont even know in the old Celtics Knick playoff wars at Boston Garden when Knicks played the Celtics org
used to raise up the temparatures in Knicks players lockeroom > 90 degrees as a psyche tool to get into knicks
minds.

Knicks team used to request adjustments but it didnt matter
when Knicks beat Celtics in east conf finals in Game #7 at boston garden it was too sweet to put in words.

You going on wasting yo' time hating the Heat whom were born into the league in late 70's or somewhere in 80s.

I dont care for HEAT either and Pacers were from ABA.
No one I know in NY area whom are Knicks fans forgets the Boston Celtics.
