It's what I call Self Hating Knick Fans. I don't have to accuse anyone their comments make it self evident.

No different than ones who harp on them for feeling so. it's not like this team has enjoyed 10 straight years of playoff appearances. they havent, been awful for a while and decent recently with a setback. Even though I dont like this roster at all, i do think they may be better than last year. but that isnt saying much...last year is easy to improve on.

I disagree with the rationale of being overly pessimistic based on the moves Phil has made to improve the balance and fit of the roster and the huge improvement of the coaching staff and the new system. Phil has openly stated what he wants to accomplish with this team and nothing they've done so far suggests they aren't up to the task of changing the culture of this team. Rather Knick fans should be more upbeat given the change to a real basketball mind being in charge of things.

To be clear it's not rationale to be nasty and negative given the vast improvement in team leadership over who was making decisions before. If a fan can't appreciate the difference in having Dolan making all the major decisions verses Phil then they can't be helped and deserve to be called out. Everyone doesn't have to be ecstatic but geez some of the negativity is unwarranted IMO.

All that will change when the games are played....so far it's talk, stuff we've all heard before. Fisher imo has coached and said things that I have heard Woodson say as well in particularly defense, so once the games are played only then can the perception change. If the team is winning all fans will enjoy that, as no matter how anyone feels about the team they still want the team to win. I dont particularly like the roster at all, and really dont think the triangle even fits this group but I want the team to win.

All the other behind the scene stuff can stay there....just win the games you're capable of.
