Yes we got destroyed by the pacers, but then again 2 weeks ago the pacers beat Miami AGAIN,chicago,atlanta,and philly it doesnt mean we suck, it means they are playing really good right now.
Clippers went 17-0 in december then start january with 2 back to back loses, one by 18, the next by 21, you dint hear them asking for vinny del negros head
It happens.
Now yes we have GLARING weaknesses, but one thing I have learned is NO ONE IS UNTOUCHABLE
I love shumpert, but if someone throws u a pick and a solid player, he's gone.
Redick for shumpert is not good, dudley for shumpert is ehh
Prigioni impressive passer, but doesnt score to save his mothers life.
If you can get pieces for amare, GOODBYE!
Copeland....let the kid play. He's not the next jordan, but he can score, and if you can score and can hit the 3, ppl have to play defense on him
Ronnie brewer is worthless if he's not D-ing someone. If woodson would let him play D, he would have some value. I remember when we had him on lebron earlier in the season, some of you guys were ready to name ur next child ronnie.
Camby or sheed......if you cant stay on the court I could care less what you've achieved in the past. We need those roster spots.
Dude..it's been 13 years since we've gotten out of the 1st round.
We've consistently had amongst the highest payrolls in the league and for a good decade or so this was WITHOUT making the playoffs for a solid decade followed by ROYAL ass whoopings from Miami and Boston. Yeah we had injuries and lost to great teams but we barely put up any kind of fight.
Other than when Donnie Walsh came in at no point were we one of those teams that had a low payroll but promising young players just waiting to grow together. Other than that pre-Melo team at no point could we shrug off losses like the one last night and say "oh well we're a young team and we're learning from this"
Fans are supposed to root for the team to win and care about the team. In my mind everyone who is still crazy enough to spend time watching the Knicks, rooting for them, pissing and moaning about them and checking some internet forum about them is probably amongst the most (stupidly) diehard fans in the Knicks fan base.
I don't see where anyone declared that as fans you have to always have positive feelings about a team regardless of the circumstances.
You think fans of any other team (other than maybe the Royals) is going to put up with a DECADE + of high payrolls AND losing AND what is universally viewed by anyone who follows sports as clumsy management and have a sunny disposition? You show me that fan base.
We're still watching the games and obviously care very much about the team and are praying that they find a way to win.
If you can withstand what's happened with this team since 2000 and still be upbeat then I commend you but I am absolutely mindboggled that you don't understand why people would criticize ownership/management/coaching/players.
If a true fan is someone who can do that and all the other mere mortals are just "fans" then I guess I'm just a so-called "fan" Shame on me?
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
