Yeah, people are hyped, the team still has it's problems and who knows what tomorrow will bring- but for the moment just lighten up and enjoy the win- it was a good one and great to watch.

Kindly pay more attention to the anti-Knick posters on this board!

I'm here to warn you, The Good People, that this is fool's gold.

Fact: Guy gets dropped in the first round close to 90% of his career in the NBA. 9 out of 10, his team is losing in the first round.

Fact: Guy carries serious character flaws. You think this is fixed now? No, it is not fixed, there is just some caulk in the cracks, so it looks decent.

Fact: Nets went something like 18-0 when Frank first took over. That's how it goes.

Fact: Orlando is burning, Chicago was playing with Rose in his first game back. Guy was terrible. Barely squeezed it, still.

Fact: Ain't nothin'.

Fact: Don't get hyped.

Fact: It will take more than 14 games to make True Basketball Fans forget the spit he loogied at The Good People.

Fact: Who does that? Who throws a tantrum to get a guy fired? Then suddenly turns it up?

Players like Melo don't win championships, brah. Hate to break that slice of bread for you.

I'm just looking out. Real talk.

We lost Lin and Amare to possible season ending injuries and we are supposed to care that Orlando is burning and Rose just came back from injury?

If you want to hate on Melo it is what it is, but why not root for guys like Shumpert or Tyson or Novak? Maybe even Fields, Smith and Douglas? Or root for a coach like Woodson?

Well said.

I wasn't the biggest fan of him quitting on MDA

But if you've been watching the games he's been playing defense, rebounding, and has had a good balance between scoring/passing.

In case you didn't read this in the other thread:

Saying that Melo is wack because he never got out of the 1st round is just as illogical as saying MDA's system will never work because he never won a championship.

Marblob... I like it.

"don't get hurt"!

Its really a nice public service he has to try to protect Knick Nation from "believing".

Actually I get the jest of what he is saying because as soon as the team loses to a team we should have beating SOME of y'all go a bit rabid as if the team was destined for greatness and choked big time.

But, that is in fact every fans choice to go to what ever levels they wish to go to.

What we know in this short season is a top seed team can fall very fast due to injury or fatigue. Maybe its Miami, maybe its Chicago.

I do believe a lower seed can make a strong run. Look at Boston. They might have peaked too early but they are surging to the finish line!

Indiana despite its lapse against us has a very good young core and they can make a run to the conf finals.

And our knicks if we get healthier and not go backwards could be the most dangerous team to face in the first round.

Not probable but possible.

if it is........

Then you have have hope.

If you have hope, you can have fun.

Let it go OBM, you sound like an overprotective anal snit who enjoys being "Correct" more than enjoying the moment. Statistically you may be correct but what fun is it?

LOL.. Like I always say, haters really don't matter.

Martin lets these types post until they hang themselves, though. They'll get a couple opf warnings, and pay the price if they don't chill out.

The trolling is starting to get a bit much from that one, so I am sure that Mardy Mar will deal with ol' "MarburyAnd1Crossover" soon enough. I've seen several of those types talk themselves into being smited down and perma-banned.

It's time the witch hunt for trolls got underway, anyway. The incessant negativity isn't a good look for this board. Once a few are made examples of, some of the other potential trolls, orcs and uruk-hais might get the hint and fall back from piggybacking on the shenanigans.
