oh my lord.... please don't... can we at least earn that comparison.. really, after 3 games?

agreed.

I will be happy for now at being 3-5th best.

and for where we have been that is absolutely amazing....

It is! I would take a ECF loss and be happy.

Rome was not built in a day. We must be reasonable and control our euphoria

If we had this team and these PG's against Miami (AND FREAKIN BREWER), that woulda been one hell of a series.

yeah, one day at a time. Like Melo said, we're not doing any talking or making and proclamations.

Once the Allstar break arrives, we will/may have earned the right to make such comparisons but, not yet. I Definitely feel you on that but, if we want to be taken seriously as a fan base, we need show some humility until we earn the right to be arrogant like the Miami's and Bostons of the league.

I would not hang out with you if you were not!!!!!!

Lighten up, didn't someone say Fan is short for "Fanatic"?

Defectors usually make a statement of defection and we give the "good riddence" seal of approval.

Im sure one day when 3-0 starts are not a once every 13 year event we can act accordingly.

Im really do mean it when I say "Enjoy it"! Its far better than the alternative!

As for me, I also cried when Toby Knight blew his knee out! I survived the Back court of Ray Williams and Michael Ray! I learned what frustration was with those two. Talented as any back court but erratic! It got better when Sly Williams would sub in for one of them! Thank goodness for Campy!

dude, you make me laugh (not in a bad way). You just come up with some of the funnies off the wall stuff. And yeah, I hang out with you here but, if your ever in the Baltimore area, holla @me.

Be fun! Crack some crabs and talk about our favorite starphuchs of the past!

Once upon a time the media liked the knicks!

OMG, can't believe you pulled that our of the Nalod archives. man you rock

And some say I;m not a fan..........

Ok, a real fan would have real authentic knockoff "Marvin Webster Knee Pads" in their knick shrin collection.

Next: Louis Orr!

There you go again, bringing up the N*ts.

There are no such fanatics on the site. I have not read anyone here defecting or pleadging their love.

When in arguement incase of emergency:

1. Use Gallo as leverage on Melo trade
2. Nyets not accomplished anything/Meadowlands attendance
3. Lin did not want to be here
4. Blame MDA
5. Bring up McGrady Trade and bash Donnie
6. Anything Layden
7. Fred Weis

Any arguent can be won using any of the above 7.

Or the ultimate argument winner....Blame Dolan!

All Die hard knick fans are damaged in some form. Otherwise we'd defect. Most long term suffering for championship fans are this way. Cub and Redsox fans waited lifetimes. WE at least have one!

I did not get to my first game until 1971 so you got me.

But give me some credit, I had Johnny Green as one of my top 25 knicks and do know he was about 38 or 39 at the time you saw him!

Back then witout all the surgery technique we have now, that was truely a medical marvel for a basketball player to have that long a career! He was genetically gifted!

On paper that was a good team. Pre Cazzie but you had Bell's and Willis at the power position! I never saw in prime willis play but before the knees bogged him down I have read he was flyer like Dice was very quick. I think most fans don't really appreciate how great Willis was before the championship years!

Or how Bradley struggled at the 2 his rookie year!

Ahem, speak for yourself please, kind sir

What? Bradley was thought to not be quick enough his rookie year!

Also:

1. Bring up OKC as "The Model" for how to PROPERLY build a contender.
2. Compare anything and anyone to Kobe/Lebron
3. Serve up a smattering of Heat Hate
4. Say "Rondo"
5. Bring out your inner Cuban
6. Call out someone's former support for IT (even if they didn't, make them deny it; (thank you LBJ, you pigfuhucker!)
7. Say "Marbles"
8. Suddenly change the subject, and ask: "What ever happened to KryptoNate?"
9. Begrudgingly agree that Landry Fields actually did suck here
10. Hate on KGarnett
