Last season had the Krazy Eyes KT shining moment in of all places currently ironic, Utah. We will get a moment like that, and things will start to look up.
They have to, at 3-9, there's no other way to look.

Good point Jrod, we've only one way to go lol. I don't consider myself to be a bleary eyed optimist.
Its too soon to be calling the season, too much going on from injuries to the rotation. Poster should be more patient at this stage of the season and give them time to get the rotation worked out, and Tyson worked back into the lineup before calling the season.

I miss Chris Duhon

Ahhh, it's okay, some posters really needed this start after last season. Just proves that Santa actually does read his mail.

Ah, more of the "I'm a better fan than you" posts.
Maybe you and Chuckbuck can just create one stickied thread for those kinds of comments.

Not better fans, just different, that's all.

Seriously Bonn, starting 8-1 didn't keep things slightly quieter last season? Homers were informed that they were living in a wet dream, if I recall correctly, complete with orgasmic gifs, remember?.

Now at 3-9, quite possibly 3-10, it's your turn, right?

Beat the livin blazins out of the blazers!

nixluva wrote:Oh I can blame the coach for a lot. It's up to the coach to know which lineups to put together and have those players ready to rock when the season starts. Woody thought he could just use the start of the year to "figure out who they are". WTF? This is his fault. This is a team that was able to at least score even if they couldn't defend, but now they can't do either consistently. The plays are so simplistic that I can understand why Vogel ripped Woody's offensive scheme and defensive tactics. Woody is seeming like a fraud more and more. Once we lost the crutch of having Kidd and those vets he seems unable to get this team to execute on a high level.

They have JR and MWP just making dumb decisions with the ball rather than spacing the floor and swinging the ball like we did last year. There's no reason why this team had to abandon the offense that worked for them much of last year. He could've run that and added some new wrinkles to that base offense. Just go and look at how the team played with a lot of the same exact players last year and you'll see them executing at a much higher level. It's one thing to miss good shots but yet another to never even get good shots cuz players are winging it and trying to do too much. When is he gonna rein in JR who was going solo and turning it over with stupid plays at the end? What happened to the old "accountability" meme? Woody just lets them do stupid things game after game.

Totally agree. Well said. "Woody is looking more fraudulent" with each game. He gots to go! Sooner the better. Let Herb rock the chair until we can bring in a winner.

Moonangie - problem is that "we" do not get to make the hire.

Who do you think Steve Mills will recommend to James Dolan as the next Knicks head basketball coach?

Pause and think about that.

I hear ya...

Isaiah is a proven fraud. Maybe bringing that snake back is what it will take to get a large percentage of season tix holders to tell Dolan GFY.

I am one of those who feels that the Knicks will remain semi-cursed as long as Jimmy continues holding the cards and making the decisions. Coaches don't really matter if they are neutered on arrival.

Just different? So there's nothing worse about the posters who "needed this start after last season"? You didn't mean that as an insult?
If you actually were praising people like me and TKF, then I apologize.

Saying something's different doesn't imply any better quality of fandom. I'm a Homer, you are not. That's being different. Some people get all yippy when we go 8-1 and some people get all yippy and validated when we go 3-9. See how that works?

I happen to think homerism is a better worldview than Somberism, or realism or whatever you want to call it; you don't. Coke and Pepsi.

If you take that as an insult, too bad.

I guess you're in fantasy land and are blind to reality. And that's just a difference, not an insult. I don't mean anything remotely negative by that comment.

Yes, I live in fool's gold world, where making the second round and winning the division actually mean something. As opposed to whining endlessly about efficiency and dumb owners and selfish players and three year old trades and failing ex-coaches and flash in the pans and...

Nothing personal though.

Yeah, in a fantasy land where winning a playoff series every three years is orgasmic and people who don't realize that are just lost

As opposed to reality, where 29-win seasons, 30 point blow out losses as a regular occurrence and years of drafting mediocre talent while hoarding cap space and more picks provides pee-hardons to those who just love and embrace the importance and reality of their inner NBA GM.

While those lost in fantasy land continue to realize they are just posting on an internet board about their actual favorite team.

Hmm, I must be confused because I don't ever remember that happening. Oh, and by the way, from Zach Lowe:

Nobody cares about divisions, anyway. Teams are sheepish about hanging division championship banners, and some choose not to do so.
