Where are the boos?
Umm, maybe people aren't quite as quick to the trigger as some of the Knick "faithful."
Some of y'all are like wolves surrounding the heard, just waiting for the kill.
We're down 8 points, not 28.
Dude. I'm an optimist and think we have a chance to win 40 or so this year. But I also believe in crowd feedback when there's not enough energy being shown.
Why? What is booing going to accomplish? I have always had an aversion to "boo birds." What's the point of booing your own team when you want them to win? I remember in 1996 when the Yankees traded for Graham Lloyd, who was suppossed to be good, but he sucked coming off an injury going into the playoffs. I was at a playoff game when Torre brought him into the game and suddenly fans started booing the guy. I was like, how is this suppossed to help the guy who we need to perform well? It's just seems so illogical to boo your own players, that whenever it happens I think it's ridiculous. Do fans honestly think the players don't know they are playing poorly and enjoy it. If you ever played competitive sports you know that losing is not fun. Please. Some fans can be just so self righteous.
Same deal with A-Rod and the insane fact that Yankee fans booed Giambi in his debut with the Yanks at the home opener (I was there) because they missed Tino Martinez. I see this kind of stuff is childish, hence my opposition to booing teams even when they suck. The fact that less fans come (this season's home opener is NOT sold out), is more than enough reason to let management know that fans are skeptical.
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
