if your memory serves you correctly, i hold the distinction of predicting the longest win streak this season. with that said you can redeem yourself by correctly predicting what may possibly be the biggest win streak yet to come this season. it may have started already,

having cleared the bk smoke helps. knicks have begun to turn the corner......watch out!

Earl, I love the Knicks, but you take it to a level that makes even the biggest fans look like haters. You need to tame the comments implying that some people here aren't fans or don't support the team. Anybody here that is still talking Knicks basketball at this point in the season is a fan. People don't spend all this time on a forum for a team they don't love. They just have different ways of expressing their support for the team.

Yeah ohneslty, why do people even bother with this "real" fan stuf. We are posting on a forum of a team that has been awful for a good few years now, and that is something like 19 and 44. The fact that a person bothers to come here is enough to make a true fan.

Its also enough to make him clinically insane if you ask me, cause this is masochims and nothin else lol.

>>extremely well said.

You guys slay me.

Since when did "Go Knicks" make someone over the top?

Damn

Translation

"Hey dude, shut up... you're cheering too loud!!"

Sorry. My bad.

Hold UP

Some people are def hatin, but they are hatin on players, gms, coaches. Not on the team.

Simrud - please read that sentence again three times. Slowly.

>>Can you really blame them considering how bad it is to be a Knick fan right now?

Simrud - I don't blame anyone for ANYTHING. It's BAD to be a Knicks fan?

>>Fans really don't control anything, so complaining is the only thign left to them when their team sucks.

You can always refuse to purchase and merchandise, cable subscription or picket outside the world's most famous rotunda.

>>Its a situation of let him who has no sin cast the first stone really.

If there's a hell below, we're all gonna go. So I don't get what you meant.

>>When the team sucks, the fans have the right to boo, basically.

Basically. "booing is one of the things that makes Knicks fans great in demanding more from their team. Back in the day, fans would boo going inot a timeout - but encourage the team with loud cheers coming OUT of the same timeout. Tough love is cool with me.

It's the incessant carping about the same old ish, without recognizing incremental improvement of a very young team that me me question the misnomer of some "world's best basketball fans"

Simrud - How would you evaluate the quality of Knicks performance over the last eight games?

Specifically, how do you quantify the play of Jamal Crawford, Eddy Cuury, Nate, Qyntel and David Lee?

>>Its all in good fun.

No doubt Simrud.

Me and djsunyc go at it and disagree all the time but he is one of the coolest dudes to sit next to at a Knicks game. If he comes to Atlanta next season I'm gonna take him to Jocks and Jillls for a burger and a beer. Then we're going to Philips and cheer along with the other Knicks diasporites

It's ALL chin music.
