Right, because the last 15 years in front couldn't last forever. Good gravy.

Riiiiiight, and we all know only true fans watch their team when they are in front. Because watching them when they are at the bottom is... ummmm....

So, are you a Knicks fan, or a commmericial sponsor? It's okay, being connected to a loser may have deleterious effects on your self-esteem.

Nice point.

I don't care if the Knicks aren't an elite team, if that was the only metric, I would have given up on them ages ago. The only thing the Knicks are having an affect on is my ability to stay awake. Dolan is doing his level best to make sure it stays that way.

Dolan is a rich fat little troll who probably never played the game even in gym class. Granted, over and over a billion times.

But doesn't announcing "I'm not going to watch the team!!!" just slightly akin to holding your breath and stamping your feet?
Be frustrated and upset with the losing, the lack of direction, Melo's free agency, Woody's sucktitude, etc, but jumping off the wagon is still...jumping off the wagon, right?

We lived through IT and Marbles and Anoucha and Eddy Curry.

We will get through this. Courage, men.

Its nothing to do with losing- more to do with the lack of effort and the same stupid **** over and over again from players, coach, management and owner. I honestly have better things to do with my life that watch a bunch of clowns not bring any effort. Everyone's got to have a line- blind loyalty isn't healthy

i used to think this way. not anymore. what does staying loyal to a team when they suck really prove now? ima sucker? glutton for punishment? i still follow them when they stink, however cliched, life has shown me that this stuff isnt that critical. its entertainment. for ME, when teams suck, it isnt entertaining. so my attention level just dips. if that isnt good enough for "real fans", o well...

to me, folks are venting. let em vent. like it hurts anyone else if they say stuff like the are done, wont watch, etc. its their choice to post that on a free message board.

If you're not a fake fan then my comments doesn't need a reply. Also fake might be the wrong word. Just tired of all the crying....Need to see some action already. Otherwise this is going to be the same movie for years until ownership changes.

I agree 100 percent. It's also my choice to say suck it up. I'm an action person. I rather see the threads about action towards the owner..gm..coach...whatever. otherwise stop crying. We sucked since Ewing left. My tears dried up 10 yrs ago.

But I'm also excited because with every loss, we get closer to cleaning house. So I have plenty of reasons to watch. But I am glad I didn't spend money on league pass. They are not worth it. Watching on the computer will do just fine. Even my boys turned on me. Both are heat fans now and love LBJ. But that's expected from a 4 and 8 yr old.

Nothing left to evaluate. They wont play Tyler big minutes to see what he can do and the other guys its the same song and dance all year. After 15 years I won't support watching the last 20 games or so in the best interests of my team. We have small voices--so my hope is the ratings plummet and we already saw MSG at what looked like half-capacity the other night. Honestly if the Knicks management cant give me abetter product over 15 years--than its time to simply watch college basketball a tad more. Those guys want it.

Agree....I find myself watching more college ball than nba ball. Maybe it's just me....but the knicks are like that soap opera series. You are always waiting to see or read about the next curve ball. Who going to crack first. The knicks are like a boiling tea pot waiting to explode. I'm not questioning your loyalty or any real fan loyalty to the team. It's the Fairweather lin / knick fans that will use your thread as a way out. To them i say just leave already. I talk to these clowns all the time and it pisses me off. They expect me to follow them and jump off the Wagon. These fake fans actually makes me jump back on the wagon. After saying all that...I'm sure you will still watch more knick games. The Knicks are like that addictive drug u can't put down. We all need rehab.

I mean sure, it's the fundamental problem, but unless you are organizing non-stop "Dolan sucks" chants that are impossible to ignore or drown out, what can a fan do about that? At least the coach discussion is related to basketball. But talking about corporate owners? At least just tuning out you are actually doing something real.

Im 45 years old. The only time the Knicks really scked before Dolan was when Bernard King got hurt and we drafted Patrick Ewing the year after back in the mid 80's. Atleast we could root for a loss a few years back to get a higher pick.

There is not one player I feel connected to to root for this team--maybe THJ but that is it. When we had those 3 bad year--there was hope in many ways--and that proved to be a great period--stinking for 3 and good for 15. Weve been terrible for 15 accept 1 and there is little hope to this team--another lottery pick given away--its disgusting management. The only reason why MSG has been successful is its location the Rangers and especially the Knicks have been terrible since Dolan has been here--financial success has had nothing to do with on court success--its simply flew with the tide of sport corporations becoming more valuable. Can u imagine Dolan as an owner in Oklahoma--they have an empty arena watching Samuel Dalembart and Antwan Jamison.

No seriously I watch now to see what Woody and Melo do and how they react to guys giving half effort.

The players know what's going on behind the scenes in practice, Metta knows and so does Beno.

Somebody has to get the scoop from Metta World Peace brother ,or friend of his to find out the inside information.
