This is a weird team--like someone mentioned above---no player that is on this roster was born and bread a Knick accept Iman who was offered to the Suns for Nash. It is what it is. I wish somehow all Knick fans would boycott game 1 dont go dont watch nothing--not so much for Jeremy Lin--but for all of the hardcore diehard fans who have endured the crp of Dolan.

Who on the 99 team was born and bread a Knick besides Ewing and Ward? We still loved that team, no?

I'm upset about Lin, but we have a good team. Older? Yes. Better than last year or the 10 before? Absolutely.

Ren erased from a lot of posters memory's. I didn't like Melo up to that point, but he really earned some respect- I enjoyed that streak just as much as Linsanity. Hope he can build on it.

If Melo plays like that all next season it will shut some people up. I think that's why so many like to bash him so much. He is capable of playing like that year round and he hasn't done it. I think this is the year that it comes together for him and the team.
