This situation makes me question the media of the coverage of the Knicks as much as, if not more than the ownership. I would agree that MSG's media policy has alienated the beat writers to a large degree, but at some point I want to channel my inner Lawrence Fishburne and say "Its a new day mother f---er". Seriously. What needs to happen that I don't have to hear every triviality in the Knick's past? (As an aside, how is JR Smith now a victim? Let's see if the beat writers run with Barkley's statement as gospel or rebut him as any sane NYer would). This will be my litmus test.
And for those Knicks fans that have been around to see two championships -- shame on you for bitching now. Yeah, times are tough. Boo hoo get a tissue. But I never got to see a NY Knicks championship and I am still here saying screw you to the haters. I love this team.
It's a new day in the sense that we're reaching new lows.
We're on pace for the worst season in franchise history.
In this league you need to hit the low and accept the process before you rebound. When you throw money at it and try to circumvent rebuilding through trading you get multiple years worth of penalties.
I'm with Briggs. Bonn -- do you think this losing is an accident? For once the team is making the correct economic move by losing. Mediocrity does nothing. All I want is continuity on a plan and for Phil Jackson to exert his will on the franchise.
Ewinglass--the Knicks arent trying to lose--they just sck. Do you think the Sixers would plays guys like Amare and Bargs? They call up a D league player every 3 weeks this year. Thats just how bad the KNicks are they are trying to win and just cant. there was never a tank other than the one going back and forth in Dolans rather bulbous head.
Every night we are starting two to three guys that came to us on 10 day contracts. See what changes after the trade deadline when we no longer showcase guys for the possibility of trade. I am not saying they started the season with this intent, but I don't think this is simply a losing streak.
