Then that's nothing to be proud of!

Nothing worst than a self hating fan. Unless you're a Mets or Jets fan, then you're excused!


huh?

Guessing you're not proud to be a Knicks fan.

You'd rather be right about TS% and WS than pledge allegiance to United State of Dolan!

No, you just don't understand the difference between "rooting for" and being an "unthinking fanatic." Rooting for, simply means when you watch the games you hope the Knicks win.

How about right now? There's no games to watch, it's the offseason, we've clearly upgraded the roster, yet in your esteemed opinion, the Knicks moves add up to a "C" grade.

Wow...

When I watch the team this year, I am not "hoping" for a win; I Expect a win. We have an excellent team with great depth. Offense and Defense. Toughness and high BB IQ.

No, we haven't clearly upgraded the roster. You're ignoring that our veterans will be a 1 year older version of themselves, which will mean that nearly all of them will be downgraded a little from last year. None of the players we've added are anything special. They're just legit league min players. Are you just vaguely using the word upgrade or will you put your money where your mouth is a predict a better regular season win total and deeper playoff run?

Go out side NYC and tell people your a knick fan. They think its funny.

Knicks improved a bit, but so has about 2/3rds the team. Some players that they are developing are ready to step up. Some draft picks/sigings will suprise some. Some teams have one year of chemestry under their belt. Its naive to think just because we improved (subjective) that others have not.

Boston has not, but Nets clearly have. One can hope their chemistry fails, but its naive to dismiss the possibility they could win 62 games as well. Toronto and PHilly are not contending so it should be a two team race in the Atlantic.

Bonn to me is a fan who will intelectualize his points perhaps based on factorals more than on emotion that many UKers exibit.

Is one more accurate than the other? Is one more "FANTASTIC" than another?

Jeeze, we really going to argue degrees of "fans" and the legitimacey of "Troll vs. Hater vs. Somerite vs. Melodite lover"??

Its all good.

LOL won't all of the other rosters in the NBA be 1 year older too?

How come other contending teams wanted the same players too? Guess they like doo doo minimum players also.

The team's clearly better than last year, roster and depth wise, as well as younger. Record wise, I'd say we're above 50 wins, but won't say we'll exceed 54 just due to the parity in the East now.

no chuckbuck, how we can be better if we added "one of the worst players in the nba" in bargnani?

that remark is one for the record-books, to me it shows an absolute ignorance to the game of basketball. ill take the "failed eyeball test" any day over these true shooting %s and all this other crap to the degree they are relied on by some.

Jesus Christ, are we still telling people who don't agree with the front office that they aren't fans? Yeah right, guys who have literally thousands of posts over years on a KNICKS message boards aren't fans. Give me a break

We've added Andrea Bargnani, Metta World Peace, Beno Udrih. Resigned Pablo Prigioni, JR Smith, and Kmart. Drafted/signed Tim Hardaway JR, CJ Leslie, Jeremy Tyler.

All added to the core of Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler.

Are you saying we didn't even slightly improve over the roster last year on paper???

I actually liked our offseason for the most part. However i agree with azama. I mean we all love the knicks but certain fans seem to get on other fans who have any type of criticism of roster moves. I mean we love the knicks buts its more important to be objective and not too biased

Who did we lose of value besides Chris Copeland? Weren't we able to replace that and then some with the moves made?

I thought i was pretty clear in my first sentence. I think under the circumstances we had a good offseason. However lets be honets if we were perfect than we would be going to the finals every year lol. Look its ok to love the knicks and be critical of CERTAIN moves. Maybe Bargani turns out to be an all-star you never know. i hope he does

Artest and Beno signed for vet min but you really think those salary slots predicate talent and worth to team?

What does strict upgrade of roster have to do with regular season or playoff run?

Never said all star. On paper did the Knicks improve or get worst? According to the Sabremetricians here, we got worse, mainly by adding Bargnani. We're not asking him to be 1st fiddle, maybe not even 2nd fiddle. Injuries aside, health permitting isn't it nice to have a 7 foot Novak that can actually dribble and post?

the teams that matter in the east.. getting one year older for them is actually a good thing. for us, it is one step closer to Social security checks..

indiana getting older, a year older is a good thing for them, same for the bulls.. not for the knicks..

"On Paper" does not exist in the Bonnverse. Has to be hard statistical analysis and formulas!
