YUP A+ sounds about right.

Mad about Lin. Yep. Got it, Loweycue.

Sounds like another "new Nets fan" in the making.

You wish. And yeah I am mad about losing Lin. Oh and one other thing - pass the Kool Aid, to someone who cares.

Exactly, MrKnickShot.

Ain't that E-Thugging scary?

Unbunch your panties and pop a pamprin, Loweycue. Your "tuff talk" is phasing no one this way. If you can't handle yourself any better that this, you shouldn't even be posting on the board. Go take that silly anger and jog around the block or something.

LOL - now you sounding like a schoolgirl. Hardcore my @SS

Hahaah, the projection won't work, dude.

How was that jog around the block? All that pent-up stress relieved now? Hopefully your shorts don't have that "WNBA post-game" look.

Don't let the Lin drama spaz you out, man. It's really not worth the expenditure of energy. I'm HARDCORE enough to realize that.

Tell us how Isiah will have the Knicks on the right track some more and then disappear for months at a time. That's real hardcore.

Wow - talk about carrying someones nut-sac (Loweycue's)

I guess trolling never gets tiring for you, does it?

are we trying to be the oldest team in the league???
Where are the choices below a B? I'd give him a D and an F- if we don't resign Lin.

Kurt Thomas - 39
JKidd - 39
Camby - 38
Perioni -35

Grant Hill??? - 39

How is saying something that's a fact trolling? He said and did those things, just like he's doing the same things now.

You, on the other hand, are providing nothing at all. Literally. Refer me to a post where you actually participated in a basketball discussion and didn't just quote people to insult them and their opinion sarcastically.

Do your research - here's a link http://www.google.com/

I have not seen one post where you actually said something original, smart, or at all enlightening. At least not this JKP version of you. If you were Marbs, at least that was a fun version.

I prefer to have non-pointless discussions with posters who actually bring something to the table - even if I often disagree with them (e.g. Bonn).

Start with something enlightening or at least original. It might take a bit of research though (don't mean to scare you)

Silliness aside, the Lin drama was put together by the media and fans and Knicks management. I never once beleived Woodson and Melo wanted Lin back. Yeah they said a bunch of conciliatory things - to save themselves from a backlash because Lin was very popular. But I have seen enough of Melo to know what he says and what he does are often very different. I didn't think it would happen so soon, and I would have definitely wanted something back. But, for Lin's sake I think it's best for him to play somewhere else because he would get marginalized by Woodson here. I have posted the same things many times at multiple places.

I am also not fan of dumping the ball to Melo offense, which I think is where we are headed this year. - So yeah I am pretty depressed right now.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

LMAO How many years ago was that? You scraped the bottom of the barrel for that one, huh? It's okay, I'll let you think that you made some sort of "profound" statement there. Happy now? Hopefully so.

Wow, I had no idea that anyone was checking my attendance, though. Where's my gold star for posting two days in a row?

Now I know how Jeremy Lin feels, having "dedicated" fans and all. Spare me the snotty remarks and just give me an inflated contract too.

Don't worry, unlike Jeremy, I won't let the notoriety go to my head. I'll stay humble and stay rooting for my Knicks, and the fools who take issue with it can pull the wedgie out of their granny panties and handle it.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Don't get upset you got called out. You're calling out others for having an opinion different than yours and calling them fake fans for not supporting moves you support (which, in your case, are all of them). That's not how it works. Respect your fellow posters and don't insult them because they have a different opinion than yours, then maybe I'll stop bringing up the fact you loved Isiah Thomas. Sorry I'm not a "real" fan like you and I don't support every move this franchise makes, bad or good, blindly.

Basically if you look at Woody's career he's coming from a very pedestrian offensive style and so I really don't know what to expect from him offensively in terms of creativity. I just think it's gonna be HYPER BASIC old school BB. There's no way to know if it will be successful against the better defensive teams like the Heat, Bulls, Sixers or Celtics. Who knows what the shot ratio will look like. whether the ball will be spread around enough to make it all work.

What we have to rest our hopes on is the teams defense. Right now it's the only thing i'm confident about. The offense doesn't look to me like it will be very dynamic, but I hope i'm wrong. The reason I say the offense may lack creativity is because of Woody's preference for ISO ball. I have to hope he'll at least try to run the Piston offense which was inside out BB with curls and post ups for the most part. You can get enough ball and player movement in that style, but will he do that cuz he didn't do that with Novak and Smith.

Woody does run a simplified version of offensive bball but that can be successful as well based on personnel.

JVG ran a simplified offense and very ISO heavy bball.

During times like these, fans get hot. It's all part of being a fan, but we shouldn't let the intensity bubble over to the point where we go at eachother's throats over it.

Thanks for explaining that, bruh. I can see why you're upset, but I think that Lin and his handlers had a larger role in this mess than you are giving him credit for.

I seriously doubt that this drama would have been completely avoided if the initial offer sheet was what was presented to the Knicks. Better yet, if Lin wanted the Knicks to up the ante somehow, he should have done that BEFORE he signed the offer sheet. That is what every other player who was given an offer sheet did, so why does Lin and the Rockets have to conspire to do something as unprecedented as this?

The Knicks could have negotiated with Lin just as other teams have been doing with their RFA players who received offer sheets. IMO, that was the idea all along. The bait-and-switch that Lin and the Rockets are trying to pull on the Knicks shouldn't be blindly rewarded, because that would make the Knicks brass look just as inept as they've been in the past.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Basically if you look at Woody's career he's coming from a very pedestrian offensive style and so I really don't know what to expect from him offensively in terms of creativity. I just think it's gonna be HYPER BASIC old school BB. There's no way to know if it will be successful against the better defensive teams like the Heat, Bulls, Sixers or Celtics. Who knows what the shot ratio will look like. whether the ball will be spread around enough to make it all work.

What we have to rest our hopes on is the teams defense. Right now it's the only thing i'm confident about. The offense doesn't look to me like it will be very dynamic, but I hope i'm wrong. The reason I say the offense may lack creativity is because of Woody's preference for ISO ball. I have to hope he'll at least try to run the Piston offense which was inside out BB with curls and post ups for the most part. You can get enough ball and player movement in that style, but will he do that cuz he didn't do that with Novak and Smith.

I am not convinced our defense is that much better. Shump out, Jeffries gone that was our permiter D. Camby was a good pick up, but im and KT will mainly help inside. Kidd and Felon on the perimeter is not a huge upgrade on Kidd and Lin. Also we have no speed left to defend fast breaks. If Kidd can play heavy minutes and Shump is back and healthy we may be OK, still wont beat the Heat though.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

I'm good. Not worried about those who hold old grudges. They just want attention.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

You're calling out others for having an opinion different than yours and calling them fake fans for not supporting moves you support (which, in your case, are all of them). That's not how it works. Respect your fellow posters and don't insult them because they have a different opinion than yours, then maybe I'll stop bringing up the fact you loved Isiah Thomas. Sorry I'm not a "real" fan like you and I don't support every move this franchise makes, bad or good, blindly.

LMAO @ you really thinking so highly about your titty attack that you deem it "calling me out". What a kidder, you are.

I say what I say, and stand by what I say. Folks can agree or not, either way doesn't budge my stances.

You really think that you're trying to scold me for speaking my mind like everyone does, eh? I've been putting fake fans on blast as they should be. Obviously, my words applied to you, and hit their mark, since you have this pent-up haterade that you've been holding in all these years. By exposing your hypersensitivity, you showed your hand.

You don't like WTF I say, move on to the next post. Also, you can bring up my views from almost a decade ago until your fingers fall the hell off for typing it so much, but you can stuff that wannabe tough talk about "bringing up Isiah Thomas" where the sun fails to shine, as if you think you are actually holding that over my head? Then you think that will make someone "respect" you or anyone else? Surely you jest, or maybe your're just as infantile as you're making yourself out to be, "JamesKPolk".

No need to apologize for being a fake fan, dude. Just know your place, STFU, and maybe then you won't have to get that jawjackin' you tried to do checked next time.

...now how about YOU try THAT for some "respect", and stop sounding so heartbroken and butthurt. It make us REAL Knicks fans look bad.

Moving on...

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Yeah, I'm a fake fan. You got me! You touched my nerves, man. All the way into my bones. I got the goosebumps with how much it hit home. Damn, I must be the worst fake fan ever to still be here through the entire 12 year era of Dolan destruction. I got to step my fakeness up a notch. Thanks for letting me know my fake game was at a low level.

PS: LMAO @ your last lines. There's a feeling of accomplishment in those lines. Like you just proved some amazing points and won the "debate" in the debate finals. There's nothing worse than a nobody on the internet being proud of himself over nothing. Esepcially one that's clearly making dumb, irrational, blanket statements about people he's never met.

Can we get rid of this guy? Again?
