Wait, maybe someone put a "Downer" spell on me and my cup runeth half empty? Oh the disspare and dread perhaps jades my prism towards the dark side? Oh, lets go to "Hogworths" and see if there is a cure?

Yeah, I remember thinking in the 80's...wow we really suhhhhhhuck...Louie Orr almost killing himself missing a dunk...Ken Bannister...suffering through Pat Cummings, Gondo! and Greg Butler... Matt Fish...Travis Knight...how come we have such a history of bad white people?

But you know, when the stooges were walking around with their lakers and bulls jerseys/hats on would give me sheehit, I'd just smirk and laugh. And inside, they knew I was right. This is New York Knicks land. You want to pretend about some other franchise, move to Boston. Change your name and get a birth cert that says you were born at the YMCA in Springfield, Mass. Maybe I'll take you seriously if you go through that amount of trouble. Otherwise, stuff your front running ways and move on.

Why does anyone give into the NY sports media anti-homer mindset? Is it really that bad to be John Sterling-y about the Knicks? Does walking the darkside and peeing on your team give some sort of internal satisfaction that your last beer buzz or weed is not providing? Is it soooooo much more gratifying to be right about what's possibly wrong than to just actually enjoy the team?

Negative threads, man, negative threads.

Its no excuse to make up fables about the players and think you know what they are thinking. Not saying its you. Its generally not the media eitehr because they have to be somewhat accountable. Its some posters here that feel they can speak for them.

At the same time the verbal war between the Homest of the homers and haters here, which is a very distinct few flame everyone into frenzy. Im guilty at times also.

Most of us are not 15 years old trying to argue why our team is better than others. Some have woodson being "Joe clark" saving the souls of the players who have come to NY for redemption of some sorts. The level of bullshyt that is poured on is amazing by some.

So you have some delusional homers and infected hate all in conflict.

I started the thread and based my comments upon players history and the media criticisms & fault finding.

Some coaches just CONNECT with their players.

“The chip on my shoulder has nothing to do with Jeremy Lin at all,’’ Felton said. “The chip on the shoulder is for me. It got nothing to do with him. I couldn’t care less about what he got going on in Houston.’’

Its his "chip" and he can speak for his reasons why. I followed Him all thru college and in Charlotte. He was still a lotto pick but he was like the top PG prospect coming out of highschool and im not going to say he has been a bust, but he saw CP3 and Deron pass him in the draft and it has to sting. Larry IN charlotte did what Larry does which is micromanage his PG's. When MDA "set him free" was saw his potential. Denver and Portland were not his best days.

Ray has things to prove and money to make.

The Whole Knicks roster from James White to Melo is playing with a chip on their shoulders , Kidd and Chandler being the catalyst of recently winning it all.

Sheed expresses it the best

We're used to them doing poorly for so long some of us can't recognize that this organization has truly turned the corner. The decision to let Lin walk last year was a turning point. Everyone loves to blame Dolan for what went wrong but never give credit for what is going right. He has put together a good team from the management to players.

You tell 'em Jim!

Tyson wants to win

Kidd the best point guard in history of world

JR just wants to win, dunk, score shots

Novak three point shooter, all he ever thinks about is the three

Camby is hanging out knows his time is later in the yeare when eeveryone else is tired, he is fresh

Felton his mission mission is to destroy Lin

Pablo proving he can play in NBA
