People forget how unpopular H20 was until we got to the playoffs. In fact regular season H20 was a frustrating experience, much like Fournier

Knicks fans hate everyone at some point unless they're in the G League.

Knick fans fill the garden pretty dam good for a team that has scked for 20+ years. Fans in general probably have love/hate relationships with most players.. Theres only a couple of tom brady Michael Jordans in the world. The president of the US prob only has 50% fans. Thats it.

Usually less than 50%

What no one has mentioned is his leadership. I think he is one of our top leaders.

He's looked bad at times - but the body of work this season is solid. Sure, he is eating stats on a bad team that has to score a number of points.

I think he can be part of a winning team.

I don’t disagree. He has a couple bad habits on defense that leave him out of position, hips facing the wrong way, footwork behind a step letting people get by him. It’s fixable. It might cost him a bit in the steal column to fix it, but he seems to reach with his feet instead of getting low and shuffling.

Toward the end of the game he feinted to get Charlotte to pick up the ball, looked somewhat like he was jousting, but he left himself so far out of position, the PG was able to run past him from 8 feet away and behind mid court, he couldn’t recover his footing in time to stay in front of his man. It was a great example because in a smaller half court, it actually isn’t as obvious as it was there.

It’s hilarious because his footwork at the 3 point line on offense is great, so I know he has it in him. He just has to stop fencing for the ball and stay in front of his man.

His passing tonight was pretty good. Despite mediocre shooting tonight I thought he had a good game.

Knicks fans hate everyone at some point unless they're in the G League.

Or if their 19-22 years old.

This.

We are more willing to overlook flaws in players 19-22 years old because of the upside argument. 27+ year old players generally are what they are.

There's always tomorrow, you're always a day away...

Don't forget the long arms argument.
