Wow.

One of the best pieces I've read in years regarding the Knicks. He flat out broke it down truthfully and realistically while keeping opinions to a minimum. And while some of you guys can't seem to bear the reasonable opinions of ESPN regarding the Knicks, you certainly cannot run and hide from the facts.

This was the eye opener folks:

Isiah can't bring himself to pull off the sensible, no-nonsense trade when a flashier, high-profile deal can get him on the front page instead. That's how he ended up with all these overrated shoot-first guards in the first place.

I actually planned on peeping a Ringling Brothers show, but I'll just settle for a Knicks game instead.

What it really boils down to for guys who root against their team is: "I'll root for them when they are good." Some people describe this as a bandwagon or fair-weather fan.

***

In any case, I do understand if people grow disinterested in their team, or it doesn't hurt them so much if their team loses because they think things will be better. That's only human.

But the day you actively root against your team, are happy when your man misses a free throw, or turns the ball over, or gets blocked at a critical juncture, scream "yes!" when the other team hits a 3, or you celebrate another team's win against your team:

On that day my friend, you are no longer a fan of said team.

all valid points. despite what i say i will NEVER watch a Knicks game and root for them to play bad defense, miss shots, etc.

every game i watch i am pulling for them to win. at the same time i don't see how dolan/isiah are still at the helm.

what does isiah have to do to get fired at this point, sign a knick city dancer with the midlevel exception?

If you can sign Jerome James to the full MLE and get an extension, I'm pretty sure there would be no repurcussions for signing a Knicks City Dancer
