Yea, this wasn't a guaranteed win. Especially being on the road. These guys were 7-3 during their past 10 games with wins coming against the Clippers by 8, Knicks by 10, Nets by 15, Milwaukee by 12, Denver by 6, Houston by 2 and Toronto by 6.

Really loved how Felton, J.R and Melo attacked/performed tonight.

Yeah but they were also missing nene

Just like how Golden State was without Lee (lost tonight with Lee against Boston). The Knicks were without Melo but yet still trashed Miami by 20. We were without Shumpert, Kurt Thomas, Stoudemire and Camby but still beat San Antonio. One of our loses against Houston we were without Melo. Etc, etc. I can make excuses for Knicks loses as well and/or mention all the games we've won while being down multiple players. Nene? When does it become enough? We're 15 games above .500 and have won three consecutive.

It doesn't matter if the Knicks have not had a healthy roster all year, or that they have also played B2Bs. It's always, "Everybody in the league has injuries...everybody plays B2Bs." How come the same thing doesn't apply to the opponent? Why do we hold the Knicks to standards that we don't hold the rest of the teams in the NBA to?

It's simple. It's because it doesn't fit their negativity/bash the Knicks 24/7 type of agenda. That's why.

Stop accusing people of being disloyal. Some fans are critical becase they love the knicks and want them to do well

It may not apply to you StarksEwing but NYKMentality and Diva both have a point here.

In no way shape or form what I talking about StarksEwing. Only commented on how he posted about Nene being out. Nothing deeper than that.

LOL so true!

Im excited about the Heat game, especially since we are on a winning streak. We have a chance of proving we still are contending material while stopping their now 13-game winning streak.

And Camby will play!!!

Damn right to both post's. It's the people who hide under a rock after Knick wins that make remarks such as "NYKMentality is no where to be found during loses". Which is bull****t. I'm here defending our players non stop. Created a thread on RealGM last year not even 5 minutes after we were eliminated, thanking the fan base for a fun ride in regards to posting throughout the season. Took a little break from here during all-star weekend, the negativity was insane, but it's sad how the same guilty conscience hypocrites then become the same posters stating that I'm "not around for loses". My ass.

Why is this place so dead after Knick wins? Because the little lovers of Lin, Gallo, David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Mozgov, D'Antoni, **Pekovic** along with all other ex-Knicks have nothing to pick on and/or make fun of after Knick wins. That's why this place is quiet after Knick victories. Let me guess, they're currently too busy watching their Denver Nuggets vs. OKC Thunder. Yea. Right. Too busy to enjoy a Knicks win.

They make me out to be a bandwagon fan all because I believe in our Knicks, talk up our Knicks and go at these guys as they surround every Knicks related topic with negativity. I've loved the Knicks and Jets since childhood days. Knicks were my first love in regards to sports. Became a Jets fan back in 1995 and quickly realized our franchise wasn't good (to say the least). But my Knicks were different. They showed me winning basketball. Never seen my Knicks win a championship. Yet I'm the one who only comes around after wins. lol. As if I'm a Lakers/Celtics fan.

People here don't realize that GM's, scouts, coaches and all executives in an organization don't live on a game to game basis. They evaluate their team throughout the year, win or lose, and make judgments. It would probably be hilarious if Grunwald posted his thoughts on what the Knicks did wrong after a win and a bunch of people started calling him a "hater". Because that's what will probably happen. If Grunwald posted here undercover, or any GM for that matter, and expressed his thoughts he would be insulted and told to STFU and enjoy the win. Guys like NYKMentality are so defensive about everything that it's hard to take seriously. He is trying too hard to sugarcoat things that can't be defended. It's insulting to many people's intelligence and downright annoying. Stop denying the truth.

Papabear Says

Hey I'm a fan and a die hard Knicks fan. I didn't post because I was catching up with everyone else posts. And after reading every post of the Wiz vs the Knicks tonight it's real sad to see that 75% of the posts were negative or close to it. What's going on?? Sometime I don't know if I'm on the Knicks forum or a we hate the Knicks forum. The first winning season in a long time and we are chopping up this team like I've never seen before on this forum. Oh I have my questions about this team but what I am reading, It's real sad.

I'm with ya my dude. Papabear's one of strongest posters on our Knicks forum, but yet was left off the list of best posters. Same with OGk. A positive fun loving Knicks fan, enjoying a great season; falls off the face of the earth. Because of the posters here. You know what Bear? Think back on it. We're on a 4 game losing streak. And I responded to you personally on here, and told you to not lose hope or enjoyment in regards to our season. Don't let these negative fans ruin our greatest season since possibly 1993-1994. That's what I stated my dude. I've seen it before. And OG, keep lighting up those L's after Melo gets that first bucket. Our franchise player isn't in a three legged horse race with Durant and LeBron for the scoring title for nothing.

Look around and observe the situation(s) of these threads during loses and/or after wins. It's sad to see. I see so much potential in this place. This is a great forum with a great front office in regards to our owners/mods. These guys who look over this place? They allow the truth to play out. Us posters? We decide who's right and who's off basis with reality. I enjoy that. This place allows a New York fan base, to be just that... A fan base. But as long time Knick fans who remember our fun years of the entire 90's and remember the heartbreaking years thereafter? We shouldn't allow these guys the opportunity and/or enjoyment to ruin this season and/or this forum on us.

Lets beat the Heat come Sunday. Madison Square Garden.
