I love it. We're already on to the new flavor of the month.

Sweetney
Williams
Frye
Collins
Balkman
Nate
Chandler
Gallinari

You forgot about Jackie Butler, Matt Carrol, and Jamison Brewer.
Don't worry for Gallo will take the back seat soon enough once we draft our once-in-25-years franchise superstar in June!

Honestly though this is what happens on discussion boards. It doesn't help the players when for whatever reason they look like rising stars for about a month only to fall right back off a cliff. Nate, Harrington, Chandler have all done this to us so it's not so unreasonable to hop on and then off their bandwagons so quickly. Fans like good players and fans turn on players who fall off cliffs. It comes with being such a crappy team for so long.

As to Gallo there's already ridiculous expectations for the kid. Thankfully UK seems to be one of the more rational forums on the web. RealGM has him anointed as the second coming of christ.

Forgot Nichols until we waived him. Jr. will take over probably by the deadline. One minute blowtorch the team, the next we're an 8seed upset team no one wants to play if we make the playoffs. Comical and Tragic fan base simultaneously.

Is it the fan base or is it the team? An inconsistent team leads to inconsistent thoughts about the team, by the fans. I'm sure any other fan base of any other team would react the same. People are people.

Fans should see the team and look at what's best for the future not changing their emotions from game-to-game. When we were on a losing streak no need to fret at the result the team was nothing more than a 30 win team and close to a waste of time to coach. The team wins 4 of 5 then all of a sudden playoffs are very attainable.... David Lee and Gallo are White On Rice!

PMS MUCH? BI-POLAR?

I'm a Chandler fan. It's not that I think he's going to be a star. I just like that he does a number of things well - particularly on the defensive side. I think he needs another summer to work on his three - to get his percentage up.

Yeah, that Ewing guy was a stooge, too.

Wilson Changedler.

I'm not sure how many guys on here have not signed the Knicks Loyalty Oath, but those who haven't are disloyal Knick fans. Those who have should not be criticizing the team or its players.

I think that since the Checketts Grunfeld regime left and Dolan took more control any fan who is not cautious and apprehensive about the moves that have been made is not aware of the situation. Any fan who was not disappointed that Isiah was reassigned and later scouted the Knicks first round pick after he destroyed the franchise's financial future, roster and its professional reputation is a casual fan at best. I questioned the hiring of D'Antoni for many reasons but the main one was that I believe teams need to play great defense to win a championship. I also think championship teams almost always need a great big man (4 or 5). I questioned and still question the drafting of a Euro player with all of the known talent available that could have fit need positions. I have been pleased with the impact D' has had on the team. I think some of it was simply having a plan and no dysfunction but I also think some of it is his philosophy and player management. That being said, it will be a long time before I am not apprehensive about every move this team makes.

Some may like to consistently point out the negative. Fine, enjoy that sad stability. People that have hope could strike gold someday and be happy. In the mean time, they'll enjoy the positive signs instead of play Grinch on everything.

Sort of like folks like you do/did with Bush. Sort of like I'll be doing 8 years from now with current prez. Worldview is everything. If McPain had won, you'd be sitting here filled with hope and positivity and hearts and flowers? I don't think so.

Sorry dude but you are SO wrong. My comment on Obama isn't republican/democrat related. I stopped believing in politics and government a long time ago and what happened on that horrible september made my feeling stronger. I believe that any hope placed on any politician is misguided as they don't work for the regular people, but for the bankers and big corporations. This is actually a topic we could be discussing for hours, days, months etc., but lets just leave it in e not having hope for any politician.
