I see a problem arising because the Knicks struggles of the past 10 years have allowed bandwaggonners of every fanbase, particularly Boston and Los Angeles, to now take residence in Madison Square Garden. It is the reason the MSG atmosphere has changed so much.
Obviously we aren't awful anymore but the Boston bandwaggon will be out in full force Friday and Sunday. We have to make sure our fanbase overpowers them. We can't let the arena be 50/50 or even 60/40. It has to at least be 90% Knicks fans. None of this bandwaggoner BS in our house. I've had enough of these tool fans coming into MSG and taking up half the Garden cheering for the opponent. No more!

I was at the Larry Johson 4pt play playoff game and I've never heard and felt a stadium more than that game. The entire stadium literally jumped at the same time. You can see it in the video, but you could feel it in the stadium and we didn't stop cheering and chanting all the way down the escalators and out on the streets. We were dancing on the logo they had painted in the street. It was incredible and I'm hoping for that kind of intensity Friday. GO KNICKS!

We have to win these next two games! Those Boston losses were so frustrating, but two wins in the next two games will make me happy again!

So I'm the only Numbphuck wearing a Knicks jersey (SPREE) in a building full of Flyer idiots. Not even a Sixer fan in site to laugh at.
I want to win by 40 phucking points tomorrow night. I want Jefferies to get another pass along the baseline and dunk the ball off KG's mug on the first possession, and break his punk nose in the process. I want Rondo to go down with ACL tears in both knees. Three seconds into the game. I want Ray Ray to shoot 0 for 15 on threes. I want the pain of back spasms to turn Amare into a deranged monster highlight film that makes Blake Griffin highlights look like your daughter's 4th grade travel team home video. I want Melo to have Pierce foul out trying to guard him by the second quarter. I want to see Von Wafer getting serious burn for the whole second half. I want to see a fourth quarter fight on the SellTick bench between Pierce and Big Baby after Melo gets three uncontested dunks in a row. I need my meds... |

Oh, the irony of it all. The Celtics were supposed to be the old, beaten down guys. Meanwhile, we lose our starting PG to a knee injury, and our All-Star PF to a back spasm. Plus our starting center is brittle as could be. our starting rookie has the deer-in-the-headlights look. Which makes it all the more frustrating because if this team was at full strength we would be 1-1 (2-0 if the refs were competent) and Pierce would be flopping his way to a first round exit.

Apparently the Garden is doing an "orange out" Friday? Does that mean everyone gets an orange shirt? Kind of college-y if you ask me..

That whole concept is completely lame. It's obvious most of the execs we have never experienced our last playoff runs because we never did corny stuff like this in the 90's. Leave that to the Heat.
