We're awful.

And just when I thought we were going to go on a serious run; we've now lost 3 consecutive games (two + down by 24 @ home heading into the 4th Q vs. a trash Pelicans team).

I'll still watch every single game but I won't be posting as much anymore and wasting my energy on this team and no I won't be bumping up my stupid Eastern Conference Standings thread any time soon (because the best we can do is play for a play in).

I apologize to UK for my homerism this year + my idiotic 60 wins thread. After 20 years of Knicks darkness I wanted to use this team as an excuse to become fired up about NYC basketball again; but I was wrong.

If NYK wants to save NYKMENTALITY they better come from behind down 24 in the 4th Q and win because if not? I'll join team tank and let the MSG boo birds sing.

LOL! Man, 1-9 was awful but his passing was nice at times!

Either we’re winning 60 games or we’re the worst team in the nba which is it?

Been saying it all along this is a 41-45 win roster

I understand what your feeling. If you think fans like me are a little negative it is because we have been here before. The Knicks are cursed. Nothing good happens to us for an extended period of time. We have a good year then its back to being trash for another 5 years. The good year ends up being worse for us because we overpay marginal players. Optimistic people see our same record as last season. What I see is even if our record is the same our losses are way worse. We literally barely ever have blowout games in our favor. That is a bad sign for a team that is meant to be good.

We will lose to ANY team on any given night. The worst team in the NBA that is also ravaged by COVID and filled with G League players will still have a good chance at beating us. This is another bad sign. Every NBA team shooting better than their season average from 3pt line is a bad sign. Every scrub on every team gets their career highs on us. Another bad sign. So while our record is the same there are WAY too many red flags for me to think we will turnout the same as last year. We also have the second hardest rest of schedule in the NBA. Our record vs good teams is not pretty. I used to get super hurt by the Knicks. Now every year when it's obvious we stink I eventually stop watching games live and only check out games/halves/quarters in which our young players do well. That hurt your feeling now. I am not. I learned long ago not to open your heart to the Knicks because they will let you down 9/10 times.

Nooooooo. Don’t go. This forum is filled with pessimistic fans. We need and look forward to your optimism. It helps swing the pendulum. I’ve been the minority here since I joined because of my optimism. Now you took it to a new level but it’s needed brother. Don’t let these negative fans get to you.

Everything is fixable.

We all been there. Take the ball and go home.
Diva moment.
Knicks no good enough for your efforts and not your offended.
Im a life long fan and “winning” is not a prerequisite to my fandom.
I keep my equilibrium thru experience. I’ll share:

Spring of 1994. My second child born in April. Playoffs start. We go to finals. Im really into it. WE home a lot wit the baby. Knicks lose. It hurt. Next day I had to get up, go to work, put food on the table and take care of my young family. Had knicks won, same thing.

Whats the point? Winning is cool but im not winning. losing sucks, but im not losing. i might post here, maybe contribute, maybe troll lazy posters for making **** up, but Im not expecting anything i return from knicks or the UK. You seem to be. Your lists, your rah-rah… go team thing is about you? Your fandom need to be reciprocal? Its transactional to the outcome?

No doubt losing sucks. We are burnt out as fans. 3 game losing streak after good wins vs. hawks and Dallas!
Feels bad.

Take you ball and go home. Don’t sweat it, we ain’t going anywhere and likely neither are you. Door is alway open.

Great response. Out of all the posters I remember u being one of the few level headed fans in here. Sometimes u go left on me which is fine, but always come back. 😂

I remember one point we was the only few optimistic fans in here. Then NYK came and took over. Keep that MLK quote on your wall. A man is measure not in moments of comfort but during difficult times like now. Stay up beat. It’s just a game. And people in charge can make mistakes.

Like Nolad said, the door stays open. You still a fan that bleeds the same orange and blue like all of us.

Thats my ballast for not going pessimistic. I was despondent in the Isiah reign of terror as I did not have any confidence in the decision making process. Im not happy with some aspects of this team but I do think we have a competent FO and last year was not a curse. It was a gift. If one can’t appreciate it thats on them if they so choose. I don’t see us going on a great run but who really sees it anyway? We looked good a week ago and then “Boom, three straight losses”.

I've been happy that you've been an overly optimistic poster here to counterbalance some of the constant negativity. That being said (and I'll apologize in advance) I really can't relate to this post. For me, the Knicks and this board represent entertainment and enjoyment so there would be no time that I would consider quitting. While I may decide to take a few breaks now and again when things are not fun, how the Knicks play will ultimately not effect who I am, how I choose to act or how I go about my family, business and leisure. Personally I think at times you may be a bit hyperbolic and histrionic for my posting tastes and I suspect you can sway overly positive or negative depending on which way the wind is blowing with the team - but to each his own.

Why is when a player plays like trash and fan criticizes them, it's call negativity.

How exactly would you respond to Randle's play last night, "HE HAD A TOUGH GAME" you'll get em next time tiger.

Are you feeling insecure about my comment? Constant negativity/complaining about the Front Office / Cam Reddish trade because he was injured and using a misleading statement to support it. Constant negativity is waiting for the Knicks to lose a few games to post "blow it up threads" or polls on what is wrong with the Knicks. Constant negativity is stating the same agenda driven post over and over again about the same player's shortcomings. Constant negaitvity is attacking a player personally rather than how they play. These are just my opinions....to each his own.

The Knicks as a team played poorly last night with the possible excpetion of Mitch Rob. They deserve criticism. Likewise when the team or player is playing well dont they deserve praise? Constant negativity is only focusing on the negative without acknowledging the positive.
