Are the Knicks not playing hard? I don't see a lack of effort. I see a team that is just playing very poorly. This whole "we only boo if you don't play hard" is a crock.

Knicks fans sure are intelligent. We don't like the way you're playing, so we'll boo you, which will just make it harder to get to the point where we won't boo you. Brilliant.

Mental toughness, that's a crock too. I don't care who you are, getting booed by thousands of people every time something goes wrong is not going to help you be on top of your game.

Ask Jordan about that last line whenever he played in New York.

you can ask Jordan a lot of questions that don't apply to most NBA players.

Ok. Ask Reggie Miller or Ben Gordon or Charles Barkley.

The best players always said fed off that negativity.

On the road! Barkley used to run up into the stands and spit on players who booed him at home, so he's a particularly funny example.

The origional statement I replied to was this:

Mental toughness, that's a crock too. I don't care who you are, getting booed by thousands of people every time something goes wrong is not going to help you be on top of your game.

No differentiation was made so I took it at face value.

The Bulls are unraveling. We might get back into this.

Bulls announcers: "Knicks fans chanting for defense, but the Knicks don't PLAY defense, heh."

STFU, Bulls.

But Miller, Barkley and Jordan were premeir players. Delicate types such as these Knicks would be off-base to emulate the way those guys approached the game.

okay, smartest fans in the world, show me a quote where those guys say they liked getting booed at home. I'm talking about at home. not liking the hostile environment on the road. the Knicks are fine on the road. what part of this isn't clear?
[/quote]

why would they get booed at home? They didn't suck. Part of the reason they didn't suck is because they had the physical skills and the mental toughness. If you don't have to goods, than you don't have what it takes. So lets' get some guys that have what it takes.

Or mental toughness...

ah, c'mon, this is a purely physical sport

I guess I'd just like to see a little mental toughness from the fans.

I'm not sure how you're missing this part of the argument - this team is good on the road. what's wrong with them at home? do they only have talent on the road?

I'm worried about the IT-Starbury situation now.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

Balkman is tough because, well, I don't get the sense that he's a big thinker, hence he doesn't get psyched out.

perhaps, it's not like this team has ever quit this season despite the boos. they've made a run in every game at MSG. BUT, it'd be nice if the fans supported them from the jump. it's like they're booing from last year.

Balkman is going nuts.

Yes. Thank you.

And it's really not booing per se. MSG crowd just has an overly itchy trigger finger right now and it's counterproductive to the team's success. Tonight, they start booing when the team gets down 15 after a string of turnovers (against one of the better defensive teams in the league). The string of sloppy play continues, the boos continue, and so on. Vicious cycle. Dumb fans.

Obligatory run. They have a chance to pull this out!

How come Marbury isn't wearing any Towels and has a Scowl on his face?

wait, I thought you were booing the lack of effort? so you're just booing because you're frustrated?

I agree with Tom. these are just frustration boos right now.

It's just pretty low to blame the fans. They do cheer the team from the get go. But then it goes south. If the players ca't take the home spotligt, it's on them. There weren't any MSG fans in Minnesota or in Atlanta.
