Glad I stuck with the Yankees and Giants during the times those organizations were run like crap.
That topic video for the thread really resonates with you, doesn't it? So it's Lin or lies to keep rooting for the team.
"We can still go to a Knicks game.."
"Why?"
Frontrunning is such a delicate art to perfect. It's so cute on 5 year olds.
Probably because that's the mindset where it makes the most sense.
way to also copy and paste the part where i said i didn't care how misterearl and his little cheerleading squad tells me to root. this isn't about being "in love" with lin. it's about stupid decisions. if your eyes were open you'd see that that's all dolan has done since he bought the team in 1997. 99 was a fluke - that team wasn't really an 8 seed - and yet this fan base keeps thinking the knicks can re-create that. every single year. every single year this fan base deludes itself into thinking the knicks "just need to make the playoffs" so they can "make a run".
dolan has played you. i'm sorry. keep drinking that kool-aid though. it goes down easy. like melo in the playoffs. ahhhh.

And actually I'm sorriest of all for you, because you're playing yourself.
Way to only ready your post, and nothing I said. Brilliant conversation that. A Kool Aid cartoon. How very apropros.
Is your point that 5 year-olds like Kool Aid?
Dolan's not selling me anything. Gulf and Western didn't sell me anything. I could care less if Sadamm came back from the dead to own the Knicks. Or even some Russian billionaire hip hop wannabe.
I root for the Knicks. I rooted for Lin when he was a Knick. I rooted for Starbles, too. I also rooted for Chris McNealy and Ken Bannister and Eddie Lee Wilkins and his stupid fist pumps in garbage time. God help me, I rooted for Chris Dudley. Unlike you, I truly don't give two sheets about the marketing. I. AM. A. FAN. OF. THE. BASKETBALL. TEAM. AND. IT'S. PLAYERS. Everything else is incidentals.
And way to not even read your own post:
i get that fans needs to lie to themselves so they can keep rooting
i don't need the misterearlettes telling me how i'm allowed to root for this team.
See the incoherence. You don't need anyone to tell you how to root, but you infer to all of us what we need to do to keep rooting.
Nice cartoon by the way. A little weird, but hey, I always hated Kool-Aid as a kid.
