Or some would rather lead their fantasy league and post about it as well. Or some will begrudgingly acknowledge the team, while holding fiercely to a personal hate/mild dislike of Melo, his game, his attitudes, his habits, his very presence. Polar face palm, indeed.
Funny, he didn't put fans in quotes or italics. And none of the Sombers on here even bother to refute the sentiment. They just post and prove it out. To be right and somber. During the now current spring of our discontentment.
When all else fails, revert to the lowest common denominator: the idiot owner. Who overpays for all the wrong toys and continues to count all his money at the same time. Boo hoo hoo you poor victim fans! Never ever forget that you're entitled to so much more.
new yorkers are not entitled to anything compared with other cities.
in fact acceptance of this glop is proof positive that new yorkers are not actually as intelligent in basketball matters as they'd like to believe.
but i'll tell you what new yorkers are entitled to: competent people owning and running a sports franchise who respect the fanbase and don't try to exploit it.
so where there is exploitation there are going to be the exploited.
the greatest city in the country if not the world has not had a relevant basketball team-- basketaball being "the city game"-- in 15 years and has not won a title in 40 years. only the rangers have gone longer in terms of futility, with 54 years.
dolan loves fans like you. makes you feel good don't it?
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
