smack I follow the knicks because I am a knick fan.. I don't like this current team, or carmelo or the owner. hence the anger...... I know in a few years carmelo will be gone, I have hope that dolan one day disappears.. until then I can find joy in following other teams. don't kid yourself, I don't have to convince myself of liking the nuggets or rockets.. I do... I am a NBA fan first and when the team you follow craps on you constantly , it makes it easier to follow other teams as well... I enjoy watching the rockets and nuggets, and oh, if you think that posting on a knick forum is proof that I love the knicks, well guess what... go over to the rockets site.. clutch city and guess what user name you will see there?holla back!
I know you're a big Knicks fan and that's why it bothers you so much having Dolan as an owner, and yep you can follow as many teams as you like. I guess I think maybe you go a bit too far when you try and put a dampener on things when some guys are happy that their team has done well. Yeah things aren't always going to go great but, man, let people be happy once in a while! it's like me going over to the Rockets board and posting negative stuff even when they've just won.
I get why you don't like melo, but I like a lot of the players on the team (Amar'e, Felton, Camby, KT, Tyson, etc) so for me it's an easy group to route for.
(oh and by the way the Nuggets stunk a bit in their first few games, thought they'd hit the ground running- what's going on?)
you have a point smack and I don't want to rain on anyone's parade(although I do think the level of homerism on here sometimes goes overboard as well, especially knocking former players in order to vindicate the knicks moves)... I also like amare, camby and Kt.. but this team was built around a guy I don't like or trust...
as far as the nuggets, tough schedule to start and Karl has to get his lineups set.. It would also help if iggy picks up his play and gallo hit some damn shots.. this year he is on notice with me, I want to see some consistency he is getting less rope from me this year... the nuggs lost a tough game last night vs the heat in miami, but they scored 116 points and they are capable of that often and as long as they play uptempo, I see 45 wins...
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
