Hello all. Thanks for having me.

Love this team. Looking forward to the ECF. Let's go Knicks.

And most of the were correct at that moment.
He suprised everyone but perhaps Leon!

Lets be real, its not easy to predictl Few months ago some were thinking we should trade Kat for Sabonis!
If done, who would have known any better given how things are playing out.
Now KAT looking like a great fit! Things change.

All newbies must answer this correctly.

Jessica Alba, Sydney Sweeney, or more like m'lady?

Jessica Alba all day.

I do love the movie Christy though.

I don't eat Krispy Kreme donuts!

Is that a Mike D'Antoni smiley?!?!

These are people who have a job to cover a sport. They get paid well enough that they should at least do a little work and look into the player himself. Because I absolutely saw this coming from Jalen. I do construction for a living. They take one opinion and retweet/repeat it over and over. Passing a false narrative around as expert analysis and then backpedal consistently without just saying they were wrong. They do with a lot of players but, ESPECIALLY the Knicks players.

Anything Knicks comes with a spoonful of salt. There's no excuse for it other than they don't know enough about what they are paid to talk about. They are also inspired to and directed to take shots at Knicks for clicks. It pains them to have to compliment the Knicks at all. Sad part is the league promotes or to. What other team CONSTANTLY has rival enemy players calling their games every single game?

I like to revisit the sour milk takes they have. I would rather talk to fans of the team about what's really going on.

Good work JB. I loved the clip. Most of those guys are clueless, and you rarely ever hear any of them fess up on blunders. It's crazy to think Dallas got Luka and Brunson in the same draft and now have neither, so the craziness isn't limited to the media

And just a heads up about Nalod, since your new. He has this self righteous schtick where he likes to remind everyone (except himself) that there's another side to the story, and that other side is probably true no matter how ridiculous it seems to mortals.

That said, he's a true fan

My self righteous act is to remind many, not everyone that GM's are on the clock to make a desicion and the rest of us in hindsight get to be critical of it AFTER THE FACTS. Which makes it hypocritical! We can all see things coming, like Brunson's playoff performances when Luka was out in Dallas but the point was not so much can Brunson do it, but he had yet to for long stretches to that level AND you now paying him 100million! In HINDSIGHT a bargain!!!!! Get it wrong, and your lambasted by the fans, the media, etc!!!!

We all saw it coming, but non of us were accountable. My "Schtick" is so remind some of you that you can all have the synapse and perhaps even as a fan write about it but like the media, its rare to say your wrong! Not saying never.

Not everyone likes when I call out fans for being inaccurate. The excuse is "We fanatics and are excused from it". On the UK we do exchange info and if we are to be credible, perhaps my pet peeve is when opionions are presented as facts like the fan is in the room or has inside info.

Im not the only one that corrects innaccurate statements, but Im the poster child for it so I get my fair share of push back.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance. There's no excusing the media. That's all. That's my opinion on things based on what I have observed and learned. I just like the humor in the terrible takes they ALWAYS have. Especially about the Knicks. Nothing they say matters. I would rather talk to fans who watch the games and live and breathe this stuff for free. Far more knowledgeable than any of the media. We suffered through it all. Here we are now.

I tend to look at the big picture first. Where are we collectively as a team/franchise. Then you sift through the minutiae of things. I try not to let my fanaticism get in the way but, I love being a fan of THIS team. We are witnessing greatness the last couple of years. I'm here for it.

I do not like the why us narrative out there however.. Why not us? Aren't we proving ourselves as much as ANYONE has in the history of the playoffs this year? I don't have the same old Knicks trepidation at all. I see a great team and a great chance to end the drought. You have to play the games first though. We are only 1/2 way there. I love the way we got the first 8 wins. I hope we get 8 more.

I look forward to talking Knicks.

I think it goes something like this:

Nalod: It could happen that way, but it might happen this way too and none of you should act so confident about either outcome because I don't play "I told you so" games like some other people here do.

Random Knicks Fanatic: It just happened that way!

Nalod: See I told you

JB, did you really just, not only use the word minutia on this forum, but actually spell it right?

Bravo, my good fellow!

I think I bumped my head this morning falling out of bed.

It also goes something like this:

Some player movement happens...
Knicks Poster: I don't like this move for such and such reason
Nalod: you can't judge the trade until all the chips fall and all the picks are picked and 5 years later so we can see what they all became.

Five years later:
Knicks Poster: I still don't like that trade, and never did!
Nalod: Why are you still talking about that trade? That happened so long ago. And you have the benefit of hindsight!!

Ever the contrarian. Love playing the devils advocate. Got it. People like that never admit they are wrong without a stipulation like hindsight is 20/20 or whatever. Duly noted.

I saw his excuse making for Wemby as if he didn't look directly in Naz face before elbowing him in the throat. That should have been at the very least, a hefty fine and a one game suspension. Mitch was fined for a post game tweet. What are we doing here?
