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.

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?

"It's not an issue for me. People can boo, cheer, do whatever. My job is to come out and play. Honestly, I couldn't really care less what they do."

as marbury plays less and less at home the fans will support the team more

He's leaving Francis in with 4 fouls and keeping Steph on the bench... that's gotta tell you something

in reality, i think isiah is protecting him

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

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.

That could be true. Like if the Knicks somehow erase this lead and get up by a few points he'll probably put him in so it looks like he was part of the effort.

[Noone said they liked to be booed but if the KNicks had this guys attitude they'd be a lot better off.

I don't care what people say - it's about comfort level. and this team is clearly not comfortable at home right now and a big part of that is the fans. I don't believe Dunleavy when he says that anyway. I've read quotes from Knicks players saying the same, but I don't believe them either.

Yeah but, guess what, this guy performs at home and doesn't use it as an excuse like our guys do. That's my point. Booing the home team sucks, but when you are sucking as hard as our guys are they deserve it.

I know it's uncomfortable when the home team boos, never said it wasn't. I would prefer our guys played through it instead of constantly using it as an excuse.
