We hate because we care.

I am prepared for many reminders about how much better our 1st or 2nd round series loss is than the Isiah years.

And don't forget the ever present we are now doomed to be a second round and out team instead of rebuilding for the lottery.

Also remember to use these helpful points:

1) Boston actually beat us in the first round,
2) injuries are no excuse for us, but are for any other team [see #1]
3) Indy swept us in six games last year.

You have a great imagination!

1) are you seriously comparing boston playing without rondo as somehow being NOT worse than whatever the knicks had going on? rondo alone has greater value to hius team than any knickerbocker does at the present time.
2) see (1)
3) agreed, and i will add "exposed" us and "gave a spanking to" us as well. i think that's fair.

I agree with that. What they do they go into hiding because all of the Knicks lovers come out and posts and they know if they continue to rip the Knicks while they are winning they just might get banned. LOL

This is a very different Knicks roster. 13 new faces attempting o get in where they fit in.

Tim Hardaway smiled from ear to ear over his son.

Carmelo and Andrea have excellent body language.

Helpful and true- don't forget, last season we simultaneously over and under performed. Our record was a fluke and we were actually a terrible team but at the same time we should have got to the finals.

I think that the knicks toyed with Boston. I also believe that if Rondo was in the game we would have been up by 30 point with our 1st and 2nd units in the game. Rondo still hasen't learned how to hit a jump shot yet. LOL

I'm sure that's it. It's not like our injured players would have preferred a few days off before the Indiana series.

You act as though we got swept by Indy. As I remember it was 6 games and we won 2. JR played his worse ball. Woody did some bad coaching. Indy was the better team.

You're posting to tell us about how you hope others will post in a hypothetical situation?
Regardless, maybe one person here never says anything positive about the team but that's all I can think of.

Absolutely Im hoping people won't piss on this team incessantly when they're playing well and its more than one person. You make it sound like the Knicks playing well is far fetched.

That depends on what playing well means.

What's your standard?

The team should be either competing for a championship or rebuilding (towards a team that can compete for a championship). I don't see us doing either. In fact, I haven't seen the team do either even once this century.

So say this team goes on a ten game win streak, the team as a whole is playing well, you cant find anything good to say because of the way the roster is constructed?

I can say (and already have said) good things about individual players. It's gonna take more than an 10 game regular season winning streak to make me think the team is well constructed. Even Isiah's teams had some 6+ game winning streaks.

Papabear Says

Bonn Bonn Who really cares what you think.

As I remember it was 6 games and we won 2. JR played his worse ball. An underweight Chandler was dominated by Roy Hibbert. Lance Stephenson thought he was Michael Jordan. Ray Felton was not feeling it.

(Woody did some bad coaching?) WTF is bad coaching?

Indy was the better team.

Obviously Gustav cares immensely. Did you read his posts begging for positive comments from critics? I've seen you make similar posts too actually.

If I'm begging for anything its for you not to be an insufferable douche next season when the team is playing well. Whining about some arcane statistic after a win.

Maybe you'll feel better if you become more tolerant of diverse views, or perhaps if you can't do that, you can put me on ignore. I've been here almost 10 years. I'm not gonna change my posting just to make some relative newbie happy.

There is very little if any diversity in your views towards this squad. Its pretty much always negative. And as far as putting anyone on ignore, you're the one who keeps either replying to my posts or bringing up my name. If you don't like what I have to say then follow your own advice.

bad regular season coaching gets revealed in the playoffs, just like fool's gold and jayvee players get exposed in the real season.

woodson's playoff record is embarrassing because his flaws as a coach are hidden in the regular season.

bad coaching is when you coddle and enable certain players and play favorites instead of molding an identity at the expense of a few regular-season wins.

i would have preferred a 5th or 6th seed last season if it meant a more balanced, cohesive, resilient, adaptable, professional, and rested team.

the knicks should have swept an undermanned and exhausted celtic team. they should have made the pacers series far more competitive.

the pacers may indeed be a better team but they were also better coached.
