As the wise man bippity once said:
"I don't have to cheer these players to prove I'm a Knicks fan, they have to play hard to prove they are knicks".
Bip was right once again.
Nice comment, but what exactly are "Knicks" we act as if these guys are tarnishing a storied history of winning... come on. We put so much emphasis on the knicks of old. Unless you are talking about the walt frazier/ red Holzman knicks, then I just don't get it... I enjoyed the ewing era with oak and starks but some people need to wake up. those guys didn't bring any rings home either...... And when it is all said and done the most excitement this team gave me was during the bernard king years and the 99 team with camby, Houston and spree.......
Who said anything about rings? I'm talking about playing hard and making me proud. Who on this team has made you proud? More than likely someone burried on the bench, if anyone.
People puff their chest out and talk about what kind of fan they are, and how they are what a "true" fan is supposed to be. Great, but these wonderful fans, who are optimistic about everything, have made lousy analysts; their optimistic predictions have been way off, but then they take pride in that thinking that's what a fan is supposed to do. You've used that tact yourself.
I'm talking about the onus of performance being on the players not the fans. Many of us are lousy fans because we could see these guys have been lousy professionals. Pardon us for recognizing the obvious.
